Well, it looks like we are putting our written budget to the test...a BIG test! I will be turning in my notice at work within the next few days. I have thought about it, and prayed about it a lot, and I think this is the best decision for my family. Maybe not financially, but emotionally.
My husband and I work opposite shifts at work because if we had to pay daycare, it litterally would not be worth it for me to work. I get home at 10 or 10:30 pm, nurse a hungry 6 month old, do some tidying up, and I am in bed by maybe midnight. And, since I've spent the whole day chasing kids and working, I can't sleep because I remember everything I meant to do...I also do not get more than 5 minutes to spend with my husband. We have Sunday's off together, but that day is filled with church, bible study, church basketball, and some grocery shopping. Not much extra time there!
So, I will be resigning from my job. My hope is that since I will no longer be working until 10 pm, I can get my kids on a better nighttime schedule. That will help me get to bed earlier, and hopefully get up earlier. If I actually got to sleep by 10, I'm sure I can be up at 5 or 5:30, atleast an hour before either kid wakes up. I plan on using this time to do some of my work for the consulting business I am planning on starting, earning some extra date night cash by taking Paid Surveys at Opinion Outpost , and re-reading and having a quiet time. I have a few bible study books that I plan to go through, and I am not sure which one I want to do first. I will be posting portions of the study online.
Of course, this all sounds good in theory, lets pray that it works!
