Exciting news!!

I quit my job. Yay! Oh wait, I meant to say....

I quit my job!!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is something I've wanted to do for years but there was always some reason to stay a bit longer. Wait for Jason's salary to move up a little. Pay off a bill. Whatever. But I've always wanted to be "just mom". Now I feel we are in a good place financially for me to take the plunge. Not to mention work has gotten more and more frustrating by the day lately. Some of you may ask "why?" After all, I have to admit I had it pretty good. I've been working for the bank for 10 years, and have managed to work from home for the past 8. But that's just it. I've managed. It hasn't been a breeze, believe me. Even though it is just 4 hours a day, it is really hard to fit 4 hours into a day where I am taking the kids to the park or spending the day at the pool. And with Jason traveling more lately, I feel stretched so thin sometimes that I go into panic mode. Now we can spend the day at the pool without me worrying about having to stay up until 1am putting in my hours, and I won't have to plop them in front of the tube while I sit on a conference call. I won't feel guilty sitting down and playing a game with Conrad during Rylan's nap instead of working. And that's reason enough for me!

With a little extra time on my hands I plan to spend more time with my photography. So I started a Farm Picks Blog to explain the story behind some of my "Farm Picks" photos. Check it out!!
