I'm quitting my job. I've been there for a whole year, and I decided last week that I am done. We don't desperately need the money, although it's hard to say no to a steady source of income, even if it's small. Our family is busy, as most families are, and my husband often has to work long hours. If I work at a part-time job on his days off, then it limits the time we have to spend all together.
The clincher was when I did our taxes last week. It looks like we'll be getting a substantial tax return. I figured that I could split that money up over about 6-8 months, and it would be the same as what I bring home from my part-time job.
When I pitched the idea to my husband, can you guess what he said? You'll be amazed. He said, "I've always been in favour of you quitting your job. You are far more valuable to our family than to someone else's business."
Wow. How did I get so lucky?

Hey, that's great! I'm glad for you and your family :) I love what your husband said too - you are lucky indeed!
Correne - did you get to go to the Reel Waste film festival after all?
No, I didn't go. My husband has been working ridiculously long hours lately, and he's finally done his project, so we are just trying to get back to normal around here. Sunday was Mother's Day, so we had a big barbecue. Did you go? If you did, post about it on your blog!
No, I didn't get to go. I worked at the CSA farm on Saturday and then went to visit my mom too, on Sunday. Maybe next year!
