I haven't posted for quite some time because my life has been in much upheaval. I made the decision to quit my full-time job to move to a part-time job and more mommy time. I am really happy with my decision. I don't miss extra hours at work and really love being able to spend more time with my little guys. I felt like I was cheating them and giving more of myself to my library. I love my library, but just not quite as much as my family. Even based on that fact this was a really hard decision to make because as a career move it is a step down. It means less pay and less benefits. For the ever overachiever it is difficult to set those things aside for something so intangible as time with your family. I mean how to you measure your success?
I always knew the decision was the right one in my heart, but sometimes your head gets in the way. I am just fortunate that I was brave enough to take the leap and let myself be "mom."
