Mixed emotions

So, I am retiring. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I will be staying at home with my babes. Up until this point, I have worked part-time keeping my hours on Tuesdays and Thurdays. I wish I could say that I was jumping up and down for joy but...I have really mixed emotions.

Of course, I am thrilled to be able to spend the time with my kids. It is the most important job. I am grateful and I know I am lucky. I know that a lot of women (including some very good friends of mine) would love this opportunity. However, I have been with my company for nine years (this month). It's a small company and they are like family to me. We've been together since I was 24 years old....that's a marriage and two pregnancies!! This has been a really tough decision for me, and I am sad. So sad.

I am also sad because I love Ashley. She has been so wonderful to my babies and she has been so helpful for our family. We have no family in Tampa so I really depend on her help.

So, the glass is half full, but it is half full because I have cried all of my tears into it. :)
