I think I have decided…
Uncategorized December 29th, 2008to give staying at home another go. I mean really, if I structure my day right, I can stay more than busy. I can finally study and take that damn CPA. I can make healthy foods for us every night (assuming I feel like cooking! ha!). So, any ideas on how to make a schedule? Oh my gracious, I am so anal.
Oh, and how do I quit my job?!? I can’t give 2 weeks notice because I have no childcare, which is the reason I am quitting in the first place. I checked into it, and to get childcare on such short notice was basically going to double the cost we paid before. I would have to pay full time rates. For 20 hours a week? For ONE kid (and a 6year old 2 hours on Wednesday)?? Nah, I’m good. Almost 1000 bucks a month, and I only bring home about $2000. Add in all the other stuff (like extra daycare when they are out of school, lunches out, extra gas, etc) and I am working for practically nothing! What is the point of that?! Which brings me back to my original question… how do I quit?!

getupnow, I am totally a Martha Stewart and LOVE to cook, so I’m gonna start stealing some of your recipes
I ran a little over 2 miles tonight and then did my chest/triceps (ouch!) and leg days. I am sore already. I suppose that is what I get for being so lazy. I’m just glad I felt well enough to run at all. Speaking of running, I need to map out some more 3 and 4 mile runs. I want to make 3 the new 2 and 4 the new 3
Night chickies!

Don’t know about how to quit. Can’t be of much help there. But I do the healthy dinners thing is great! I love looking for new recipes and knowing exactly what I am eating in regards to calories, fat, etc. If you have the time and interest in it, it can be a big part of your diet efforts. good luck! Hope all works out well!

Did you say have another baby?!
Quit your job, stay home with the family, have another baby, complete some schooling… I like the sound of all that. Of course $2000 a month less isn’t always as fun and you sound like you like the challenge of working and being boss. But I don’t know if anyone can really have it ALL! It sounds like your new year will start off in a completely new, unexpected way. Maybe all of this was meant to be. Roll with it.
I just read over a few of your most recent posts and can’t really find any “Laziness” in there… aren’t you sick and dealing with a bunch of issues and yet you’re still running and training…? Did I miss something? Keep up the good job. Looking forward to the new healthy recipes you have to share with us. I love Getupnows links to recipes, just need to do some.
Wishing you a great new year!

Look at me pushing you to have another baby…. I just read your ‘about me’ page and see you have 3 boys (I probably knew this before but forgot…I get the blogs and people mixed up sometimes!) Anyways, three boys ages 9,6, and 3, guess what? Shouldn’t you already be pregnant by now to keep those numbers perfectly spaced? Now who is sounding anal? LOL … oh and what if it was a girl this time? I better go find something else to talk about… this baby-making idea is going to my head.
