Last day of work

It's official. I am a stay at home mom/wife.
Yikes!
I have been tossing around the idea of stopping work at the salon for about 6 months now. Between ever changing kid schedules, and Jim's rotating schedule, child care was not always easy. I would end up having to cancel or reschedule clients ALL the time, and that isn't fair to them, and quite frankly is a pain the ass for me.
For the last few months I have started to not want to go into work either. I have done hair for almost 10 years now, and it has never ever felt like "work" I have always looked forward to going into the salon and spending the day with my friends, and playing with hair. But lately I have been burned out. I knew it was time to make a change.
So after lots of though, and some crying(not going to lie) I decided it was time for me to quit.
I feel so good!! Yes of course I will miss working with all of my friends, but I will still see them! I will miss seeing my clients, but I know they are going to be well taken care of! But I will LOVE having my weekends back!! I am tired of missing Caleb's sports, birthday parties, etc.
I am going to start next Saturday, a new tradition of sorts. I am going to start making a FULL big breakfast every Saturday, where we all sit down as a family(minus Katie and Caleb every other week when they are at their mom's) and enjoy a relaxing morning, when no one has to rush anywhere. I can't wait!
My long term plan? I'm not sure. I know I want to go back to school, but I'm not ready right now. Too much going on for me to focus, and let's be honest, it's been 10 years since I was in school it's going to be an adjustment to go back!
I would love to go to nursing school, like I always said I wanted to do. We shall see. I've got time:)
For now I am going to enjoy my kids, my family, and my friends!!
