Re: When you knew you were going to SAH
I had a really bad case of short timer's, except no one at work knew DH and I were planning on moving after the baby came. DH would give me pep talks all the time, about the money we were saving while I was working, and how that would go towards a new house, and baby.
Hang in there, you can do it!
not really, i actually left my regular job and took a temp job closer to home with less stress for the duration of my pregnancy... they knew that when i decided to leave that was it... i actually worked on the day i went into labor!
it was the best of both worlds for me... i got to slack, relax and do meaningless (to me) data entry and dtabase design... it helped pass the time.
if i had stayed at my regular job and not left durring my pregnancy... oh yea... would have checked out at around 2 months pregnant! lol
Since my SAH was related to a sudden cross-country move for DH's job, I didn't have the luxury. Wish I did. I had three weeks to close out files, prepare two major cases for trial, prepare case logs, show the attorney and other legal assistants where everything was for the trial that started a week after I left...
Plus put the house on the market, find movers, prepare the house for showings, feed the family, pack our belongings...
But yeah, if I didn't have all that going on, and if I didn't totally love my (former) job and co-workers, I would have been totally counting down the minutes, probably even seconds.
