Well, I just completed my last day as a full time employee after 14 years of shift work (hope the shuttle program will be able to continue without me [;)]). I will only be working 2 days a week from now on. I lost a lot today, all my full time benefits are gone. Money will be tight as hell. I did it for my children. My wife is a full time RN working 7p-7a and I was working 2p-10p. My mom was having to watch our three (3)kids 3 times a week, which meant she kept them from 6p to 7:30a. My parents are close to retirement and ready to move, plus my kids are wearing my mom out. This has been going on for almost 18 months. It has been a living hell.
Since my wife makes so much more than me, I decided that I would give it all up for my family. I am happy with it and ready to be Mr. Mom. Might as well break out the bon bons and get ready for the soaps [:D]
LOL...just had to tell someone about my new adventure I suppose.
