I guess I've been waiting a while until it kicks in to blog about me quitting my job.  I stopped working about 2 months ago in early May.  It was a difficult decision especially since I really do like working.  It was also really hard to leave a wonderful Director and co-workers.  Everyone is different with this subject and to each their own.  At this time, this was the best decision for me and my family.
The transition from working mother to stay at home mother has literally taken me this long to get use to.  It's not all roses and giggles for sure.  I love hanging out with Lydia more and have tried to be organized in having planned activities for us to do so we don't get cabin fever in the house on a blistering hot Houston day.  I have a schedule that has worked out quite nicely though it does get moved around a lot.
The funny part is that you would think if you quit a full time job that you would have more time to do things and that is a myth for sure!  I keep thinking, how in the world did I get all this stuff done and more when I was working.  I think the answer is that I was much more organized working since I needed to be.  Now it's kind of like, well, I'll get around to it when I can.
Lydia and I have a blast together, though there are challenging days with a 2.5 year old...ha!  I can't believe this summer is almost half way over already and the Fourth of July is this week!  It's crazy how time flies!
I'm sure I'll go back to work eventually, as there are many days that I do miss getting dressed up and going into my own office and conversing with adults with adult topics.  I guess time will only tell when and if I'll go back...but for now, this summer, I'm soaking in all the time with Lydia and Blair and trying not to take advantage of it.
