The Real Housewives of South TX

As of this evening...I am now a housewife (aka unemployed). Unfortunately, I am not rich like the ones on tv, nor as entertaining, since now the most interesting thing I have to do is decide whether to mop the floors and grocery shop on Monday or Tuesday. I also don't have the drama like those girls on tv do (thank God!).
But it already feels weird. We went out to eat to celebrate tonight and when I told Jason "thank you" for dinner, it hit me that it really was HIM paying for it now. It really has been mostly him paying for stuff for quite some time now since my checks were a joke by comparison, but this is different. I'm not used to this at all. He seems excited. I think he kinda likes the idea of me keeping up the house, cooking dinners and taking some classes until I can start helping him with the business.
I keep feeling like I ought to be worrying about something or someone at the office, or figuring out what my schedule will look like for next week, but then I am reminded of the blissful silence that I have in store. No more will my phone ring and someone want to tell me all about how they don't think this or that is fair, or how so and so isn't doing what they're supposed to do, or even better "why do they get that schedule and I don't?". Yes, blissful silence.
Perhaps my medications will be reduced now. Afterall, I didn't have to start on any bp meds until this job, and it seemed that my shrink has been steadily increasing my crazy meds ever since I took on the role of babysitter...uh..I mean HR Director.
Staff members kept asking me all week if I was sad to be leaving and the answer is NO. There are a few I will truly miss working with, but now I can actually hang out with them without the favoritism issue hanging overhead. Honestly, I'm so damn happy to be leaving and to soon be achieving something I've been chasing for a long time. I am feeling very blessed to be able to comfortably quit and pursue something fulfilling. I am even more blessed to have a husband that is not only incredibly supportive, but sees my vision too!
And to top it all off, I get to spend time at home during the holidays!!!!! SOOOOOO excited about that! I want to put our tree up tomorrow, but I will wait. One more week won't kill me ;)  I've already been picking up a few more ornaments to add to my collection. You can be certain I'll post a pic once everything has been decorated.
Let the baking begin!

  1. Dude... I've some issues, too. No medication this time around. What you described is how I felt at Bux. *sigh*

    Now, though, we are in different places. Onward!
