I have been considering closing down for a while due to multiple reasons. I just don't like sharing my home with my business, for one. Also I am going to have a baby in a month or so. Also one of my parents drives me nuts. Well today, my other family told me that they were thinking of leaving, so I mentioned that I was thinking of closing, and that solidified both of our decisions. That mom is very nice and easy to talk to, and she hadn't wanted to leave because she didn't want to leave me with less income, but financially it didn't make sense for her to keep working. No hard feelings either way.

Now I have the other family to contend with. They are acquaintances of ours. I have actually posted about them before because the mom is a very controlling person. I know this news is not going to go over well at all, and I dread telling them. How much notice should I give? Should I tell her on a Friday? Is it okay to send a message through facebook (this is how we usually communicate when not talking face to face)? I just really dread her reaction, and she keeps saying how stressed she is lately too. And, on top of all of that, she just gave me a nice Christmas gift so I feel guilty. And I will continue to see her quite a bit so..... I don't know. It's going to be so awkward!
