Plot Twist
April 19, 2006
So in case anybody was wondering which diaper bag I ended up going with...
I didn't buy one.
I quit my job instead.
I quit.
My job.
Just now.
Somebody tell me how to stop shaking.
And maybe get me a paper bag to breathe into or something.
I would also accept ideas on how to get this damn Tom Petty song out of my head.
And I'm freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...freeeelancing.
OH MY GOD. OH MY HOLY HOLY GOD.
I wonder what made you decide to try this? I suppose you and Jason both put a lot of thought into how it might affect your (whisper it) finances, family and career. I'm pretty sure every woman who has had a child has at some point considered staying home for a while, or for good. At least you will continue to work freelance, which I think is very important...
I can't promise you it will always be easy, but for what it's worth, I'm sure there will be great days and some days that aren't so good, like always, but Noah will always be happy to see you. God, that was so trite.
Good luck with everything that comes! This is actually quite exciting. I just heard that one pregnant sister-in-law is having a baby girl instead of a baby boy, another sister-in-law is newly pregnant as well, all this news came in the last week, and yet Amalah continues to surprise. I love April! It's my birthday today as well....
Way to go, Amy! Congrats for having the courage!! Just think of it as 1 chapter closing & another 1 opening!
Can't you just see it? Next Monday night's national news: "Last week, a sudden outbreak of office resignations occured throughout the nation. Anonymous sources close to ABN (Amalah Blog Network) have revealed that the self-proclaimed Queen of Everything is single-handedly responsible for this fast-spreading phenomenon……”
Way to go! Good for you! Good for Noah! Congrats! :)
Holy crap!! 300+ comments?? That's awesome that you have so much support.
Freelancing: Best thing I ever did for myself and my family.
Way to go. Nothing's harder than quitting to freelance. There are so many unknowns. But things fall into place. Doubting you'll read all 300+ comments, but just wanted to give you that interweb high-5.
Holy.Shit.
Congrats and good luck!
