I quit!

On Friday I quit my professional life so that I can be at home and raise my family. Wow, it feels good!

I have changed so much since having Champ. Or maybe it was before then, maybe it was since we got married and decided to start a family. Either way, my priorities have shifted in the last few years.

Once I completed my university degree in Business (Accounting), I started work as an accountant and promptly continued studying towards my post graduate degree. While I have never been one to put in crazy hours in the office or generally take work too seriously, there was a time when I was reasonably ambitious and moved my way up to legal consultant at the firm.

Since returning to work 9 months ago, I have have times where I thought things were going well, but mostly I have been trying to juggle everything and often dropping the ball.

I did mention in my last post that I have quite an addictive personality and I have always found that I perform better when I am really able to give something my all. When you are at home part time and at work part time, you just can't do that. You can never really specialise at anything.

So, I am swapping computers for crayons and embracing my new life as a SAHM.

It is daunting, on one hand I have visions of baking cookies and sitting for hours reading with Champ, on the other I have fears of long afternoons with a tantruming toddler, and me in old track pants waiting for Cowboy to get home so I can have a glass of red to clear my head. Wish me luck that we have more days like the former than the latter.
