A Giant Leap of Faith

Something scary happened today- I quit my job. Manuel had told me a few weeks before I went back to DFCU that he thought we'd be ok if I didn't go back to work- I thought he was crazy. I told him that I didn't see how it could work, and it made me nervous even thinking about it but then I couldn't STOP thinking about it. All I could think of was how great it would be to stay home with my boys, and I couldn't help noticing the sick feeling grow in my stomach the closer January 13th creeped up on me. My mom told me that was probably my answer, but I still wasn't sure. I wanted to cry Monday night knowing that I had to go to work the next day. I had been praying and praying for some kind of answer to let me know things would be okay and that staying home was the right decision. I felt weird all day Tuesday while I was at work. It didn't feel right and all I wanted to do was go home. My manager Mark pulled me into his office today to let me know that I shouldn't feel obligated to stay, and that it would be okay if I decided I needed to stay home. He is seriously the best boss in the world and knows me well because he knew I wouldn't be happy coming back to work. That is when I decided for sure that I was done. I know that it will be hard, and we may struggle a little, but I really think this is the right decision. I just had to find the courage to take that leap, and I know that things will work out. I am so excited to officially be a stay-at-home mom!
