Looking ahead......

Friday was a good day! It was my last day at work. (yipee) I got my nails done! Nice pink for Easter. We had dinner at a friends house. (Chicken with this yummy honey & soy sauce). And we played cards. Girls won 1, Boys won 1. So the score is now 5-3 Girls still ahead!!
Now I am moving on and looking ahead to a new day. I am relieved that I am no longer employeed, which sounds strange since so many people are struggling to find jobs. Here I am in the worst economy and quitting! However; I am looking forward to being at home, being here for my kids, doing the "Mom" thing. That is who I am and what defines me as a person. That is what makes me the happiest.
How about you? What makes you happy?

  2. Family time makes me happy. Homeschooling Princess makes me really happy. My homeschool community/Village Home and my homeschooling momma friends make me happy, too.

    Enjoy your time at home. It rocks!!

  6. What a great opportunity that you can stay home - I feel so blessed I can do that too! At the same time I am trying to come up with a good "behavior" chart as things are sliding around here...Does everyone have to tell their 4 yr old son to "get your shoes on" 27 times? ha, ha!!
    Well, you will be busy -- looks like you already are though!!!
    Oh, our "crayons" - yeah, not so practical are they!! I tell the kids to make "modern/abstract" art - which of course they have no clue what that means!

  7. Tami,
    How exciting to be looking ahead and not dreaming about it. Best of luck to you, I know you will do great!
    I did a post on what makes me happy awhile back. It is the simple things in life that make me happy. Watching my boys play hockey is at the top of the list. I hope you are having some nice spring weather today. We are in the middle of another snow storm! YIKES! Now that is one thing that does not make me happy!!!

  9. That is EXACTLY where I'm at right now. I am so done with work. I detest my job right now. I could financially stay home. I want to spend more time with the wee ones... but I can't justify actually quitting in this economy. It sounds like you're happy. I'll be really interested to see how you adjust. Good luck!
