Hi Pam,
What a huge decision. From the wisdom of those who have already posted, it sure seems that you made the right decision. Everyone is saying concentrate on yourself. You could not have a bigger village than right here. We are all with you in this tough decision. I too would add, to get yourself a weekly schedule as soon as you can. Going from a full-time career to being home everyday can get old quickly and can even feel confining. I am happy that you will have more time to devote to yourself and family and friends. Drink the coffee, smell the roses and keep sipping the wine. (no longer necessary to feel bad if you are late for work, or if your report is not ready.....)
Sipping right along with you, Catherine
