I Had a Bad Day

All night long this song has been playing in my head (Chipmunk version). Tonight the day I've hoped would never come...but knew it would, came. I have been stretched way too thin for a while now so the time has come to quit my job at Nordstrom. This has been by far the best job I have ever had! Not because of the money (I think I pay THEM to work there), or as most of you think the discount (which has been nice), but because of the people I have worked with and the environment of the store. I've been in tears all night long because I just really don't want to quit. Working there is like shopping with someone else's money! I love finding just the right outfit for someone. I guess I've just realized that my kids need me more at home right now before they grow up and leave home. Richard thinks I need to quit Sweet Baby Beads...so I guess I'll look into selling that to someone who wants to put some time and effort into it. I'm just a little over the "baby" stage in my life. I hope I can switch gears and be a good SAHM again. Wish me luck...I have a feeling I'm going to need it!

You will do great!! It's a good thing that you noticed "need" and decided to fill in. That's great. Sorry about the job. It sounds like it would be a great one!

I am so sorry that you had a bad day,
but I know you made the right decision.
You can always go back to Nordy's when the kids have moved out. Good Luck at being a stay at home mom again! I know you will do great, because that is just you.

Wow...that must have been a very tough decision but we know that it will bless the lives of your family forever. Time is a very precious gift that you can never get back and your sweet beautiful children will be out of your home before you know it. I remember the quote by one of the past prophets..."no success can compensate for failure in the home". We are proud of you for having the strength and courage to make that decision. You will look back at this time in your life and know that it was the right one. The Lord will pour His blessings upon you! We love you and your sweet family very much!
Love, Dad & Mom
