As Ethan would say, "I QUIT!"

I posted on Tuesday about quitting my job. Vague- I know. But at the time I didn't have time to write much about it and I wanted to mark the day I did it.

So, about quitting my job...

I've been praying for some time (and if you read my blog often you know) about whether or not I should stay home, stay at this job, get a new job, etc. In the last few weeks, the office has been almost unbearable for me. I've shed some tears, been angry and hurt and I knew that God had a better place for me. (Today is the first time in 3 weeks that Linda has spoken nicely if at all to me.) I knew there could possibly be an opportunity at a pre-school for me and began praying that God would work it out if it was His will for our family.

Last Thursday, Brian and I knew we needed a different child-care situation. Brian has been watching the kids while I am at work. He loves spending time with them, but two is much more difficult that one. Especially one baby and a wild and crazy 3 year old.

An hour later, Kristi sent me a message. She had an opening and wondered if I wanted it. I quickly replied with a yes. Right now I’ll be working one day a week and both my children will go with me. I may be there a few more days if she needs me. Time will tell.

I am so excited about this new adventure. Ethan is really excited to be going to a new school. (He’ll still remain at his old MDO on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He’d miss all his girlfriends! Not joking.) I’m excited to be with my kids each day- or at least be close to them. I’m excited that Brian can work a shift that allows us to actually see each other more than 2 days a week. I’m excited to see Kristi more often. I’m excited to work in a place that people act like 4 year olds because THEY ARE. Just all around excited.

God has been so faithful in providing this opportunity for me! Thank you, Jesus!
