Janet Who???

On Thursday, I gave my two weeks notice at work. I called yesterday to find out what my schedule was for this week. The boss told me that he only needed to give me one shift and that Tuesday would be my last day. I was surprised (thinking that I'd have two weeks left to work) and when he heard it in my voice, he told me that he had lots of people who wanted to work days and had no problem covering my usual shifts. Huh. I didn't expect to be so quickly and easily replaced.

Since Thursday I've felt so good. Alive and free. My job wasn't really the problem, but quitting it was definitely the answer. I now have the freedom to do whatever I want to do. I no longer feel stuck, trapped. I feel like I can now be the person that I've wanted to be. I'm trying not to think too much about having another baby. If it happens, it happens - but I won't let it become my sole purpose or my identity. Things are good. I'm looking forward to the next few weeks and hope to accomplish a clean house, a few good home cooked meals, some Christmas shopping, lunch with friends, school field trips, a few more contract jobs and a skinnier, healthier me.
