It's been one week since I handed in my ID badge and all tangible elements of my corporate life. How is it? Awesome, scary, restful, exhausting, funny, frightening - just like a day at an amusement park. I've had ups: breakfast each day with all four kiddos, two lunches with my husband, midday naps, a stress releasing massage...and downs: I'm more exhausted than a regular week of work + soccer + early morning meetings + hockey + boy scouts + baseball..., I've had a few overwhelming crying spells - similar to post partum depression - that feeling of not knowing what to do or what this is all about. But through all this, I think I've finally found the recognition that this is going to be the next incredible journey of my life. But before I move on....
I have shared the news with many and received a wide range of responses. Overwhelmingly positive with a few "Did you get fired," "Are you sick," "Is everything ok at home," questions. I will continue to share details leading up to the deciding moment but to address the specific questions - 1. I did not get fired - see I.Resign. post one. 2. My physical health is fine and mental health is getting better every day! :) 3. Things at home could not be better. I have a supportive husband who loves and is very good at his job and is happy to provide for our family, three intelligent, fun and adventurous kids and I am VERY lucky to be his wife and their mom. I hope I can live up to the fun I have promised them with this time we now have together.
