Work Shmerk

So, today is Friday...9 days before I am due to return to work. This is a scary time for a new mom. Brayden is almost 11 weeks old and he will be staying with a wonderful woman named Miss Jenni. Miss Jenni lives right down the street from us and has 4 children of her own. Brayden has been going to her house for 3 hours the last 2 days so he can get aquainted and it has been hard but nice to have a break. I am afraid however of the long days when when I will be without him. It has been so nice spending quality time together. We have such a wonderful routine together, no routine. :)

So, what no one knows until now is that I will not be returning to my 9-5....surprised? Probably, especially from reading the above paragraph. I wasn't sure if I was ready to say it out loud yet. Here I go.....Jason and I have decided that I will quit the job that I have with the wonderful company that I have been employed with for 4 years! I am a wreck....What am I doing? Well, I am doing what I think is best for my child and for future children. I am quitting my job to pursue a career in real estate. I have begun real estate classes online and I will locate apartments. I want to work, I want to have an identity, I want to contribute financially to my family, I just don't want to do it full-time. I don't want my huband to carry our financial well being on his shoulders alone. I think this new career will open up a lot of doors for us as well as give me the freedom to be the parent that I want to be. 

I am very excited. I am also very nervous but I am a believer that we can do whatever we want in life and I am taking this by the balls. Yup, i said it....I am taking MY career by the balls. So, here I go...wish me luck!!
