I posted my resignation letter to school yesterday. It feels like a huge moment, even though I'd decided ages ago that I was going to quit. It's funny, because all I've wanted since I had Jamie is to be a SAHM, and now that I'm going to actually be one, I feel a bit...flat.
I suppose it will just take a bit of getting used to. I've always been the main wage earner, and so to not be earning anything at all is bound to feel a bit odd. We've always had a "what's mine is yours" attitude to money in our relationship, but I still think I might feel uncomfortable spending money on myself when I'm not earning any.
But, it is totally the right decision for me, and us as a family. Money is going to be tight and I don't know whether we'll be able to afford any luxuries, new clothes, holidays, etc. I'm happy to give those things up though. These two are only going to be small for such a short time; I'm shocked at how fast the time is already going. So I feel lucky that I'm going to be able to spend as much time with them as possible. It's just going to take a bit of adjusting to my new "job".
