I've decided...

The last few weeks I've been feeling the strain at work. Tired most days and tired of dealing with the stress. Not that it's huge stress but when you're pregnant, tired, cranky and dealing with all that and a bit of stress, it makes you crazy. So, I talked to the boss about finishing work mid-November. I'd like to go sooner but I know he needs time to find my replacement and wants me to help train him/her. Making the decision kind of relieved me actually. I've been having a great day...despite one condescending client. Anyway, I'm really glad to be counting down even less time.

I'm not worried about losing time on the other end because I'll have some daycare issues. If we are still able to do daycare (vs. private sitter), I may have to put E in full time before going back to work. All the 5 year old pre-schoolers starting big school next September will leave FT spots open. If there's a waiting list for spaces, I may have to put E in FT in September or risk losing her spot. That means I'll have to pay 3 months of daycare fees on a limited income. But there's always the possibility of me going back to work in September if that case should arise. I would like to take the full year but September will be just 2 months shy...which is when I started getting ansy to work when I was off with E. We'll see what happens when the time comes.

So, that's all my news for now. Guess I better get going. Hope you have a good wknd. We'll be doing the usual...errands, chores, time with friends, and throw a turkey dinner in there.

TTFN!
