Free At Last

Well hello again. I haven't forgotten about blogging, just havent had a lot of time amid all the changes that are happening. The change that I am most excited about is that I am quitting my job. While I like my job for the most part, there are some things that were making me very unhappy. So that, along with the fact that I really want to spend more time at home, Dave and I decided that I should quit my job and look for something part time. I have them a months notice, so I have three weeks left. I am counting down! If you know of any part time work, be sure and send it my way.

Tonight Dave and I are going to Monday Night Raw with John and Jill. It is in Indianapolis and Jill, with her fabulous connections, scored us some free tickets. I have had that stupid Randy Orton theme song in my head all day. This must be what it is like to be John. Scary.

I have found that since I am quitting my job, I like my kids a whole lot more. Not that I didnt like them before, but I worked too many hours and I was always stressed out, so when I got home, I was always tired and irritable and just wanted to be left alone. Now, I find myself missing the girls like crazy when I am not with them. I look forward to all the time I get to spend with them. I think for the first time in three years, I am really learning what it is like to feel like a mom. I think it's pretty cool.

Dave leaves this weekend for San Francisco. He leaves Saturday morning and will be gone until Wednesday night. It will be the longest he has been away from me or the kids since we got married. If you are in my neighborhood, you might drop in and make sure I am still alive ... and the kids too. I know I just got done saying how much more I like them now, but seriously - five days alone with two girls? Sarah with a mouth like her mommy and Emily with my temper? It is going to be interesting. I should film it - I bet we could get a reality show. "Watch as Alicia tries being a single parent for 5 days ... 3 people enter - how many will be left standing? Catch it all here on Panic at the Pettigrews."
