I closed up shop in August. I love my new job...I now work in a Jr. High School, love the kids, love the hours! Just tonight I was walking upstairs and saw that my kids had left stuff in the entry way and I had that fleeting thought....

"crap, I gotta get that picked up before daycare in the morning..."

Just as quick I realized, nope...it can wait. LOVE IT! Ranks right up there with vacation and sick pay, a retirement account, no more baby stuff, and never having to remind anyone to pay me.

To be honest, I'm not 100% sure I would feel the same way if I was working until 5 rather than 2:30 or if I had to get my kids to before or after school care. And somedays I wish the naughty spot worked on 13 year olds! LOL!
