I have made a major decision this week.
It's not total spur of the moment, but I have definitely confirmed my feelings towards this particular question/concern.
So here's my life: I have just started my fifth year teaching. Even if I met the man of my dreams tomorrow and got married next summer, I'm sure we would still have a few years with just us two and no kids. Therefore, I might have a good 8 or 9 years under my belt of teaching... meaning I've lived out my "career" and felt fulfilled.
Of course, the one large part to this decision is if my husband will agree but I will hope he knows far in advance- when I start having babies I want to quit work. =) I could have a solid decade of work, life, true experiences under my belt and probably feel pretty good about letting that go for a while.
Honestly, I'm so tired I can't even see straight. I have no husband or kids to take care of and I can barely take care of myself. Sooo... my thought now is to work my rearend off the next few years... (OR.... it could be 10 more years if the Lord decides to keep me single...) and then enjoy my babies... ohhh, and then we'll see what happens after that. I don't care if my husband isn't loaded.... we'll make it work.
So that's my "light at the end of the tunnel" of being overwhelmed. And dear heavens it's only like the 3rd week of school...
With that being said... I welcome Mr. Right with open arms.... like tomorrow preferably. ha.

You're too funny Abby! I can't believe we've been grown ups for that long already! Anyways, I hope in your case that is an option (to quit work), but for us, it just wasn't. :( Also, I've come to the conclusion I SHOULD have been a teacher b/c it's the BEST job to have as a mother...same holidays, summers off. It doesn't get more convenient than that!! Love you.
