Life is a hair stressful right now.

I gave notice at my job for the end of fall. My health is suffering and therefore Jack is suffering.  We operate in seasons so I figured I could finish out the season.  Now I am struggling to just get through each day.

I am so ready to go but there is so much to do personally and professionaly before I can go.  Leaving my job means that we also have to leave our house so we will have to pack all of that up.  I still have to find another job because I HAVE to have better health ins than my husbands job provides.

I have applied for my dream job, but I have not heard back yet.  This would require moving me, dh, Jack and 3 dogs 4 hours south. Dh would have to look for a new job but I think quality of life would be soo much better. I have been lacking a work life balance for a while now.  The job would be M-F 9-5, Childcare on site and 1/2 price. MIL 5 minutes away.  SIL's 1 hour away.  Close to Austin, Texas. (which I am excited about)

I have never before thought that I would crave living in a neighborhood.  Since 1996 I have lived in a camp setting with at least 400 acres surrounding me.  But I have no peers.  I am dying to have friends, maybe even friends with kids. LOL! Right now I am mom to not only Jack but all of our college age staff to.  I don't want people crying on my couch about their boyfriend/ girlfriend issues.

It's just VERY weird to know that this is the end of a HUGE part of my life.  I am not sure of the point of my post.  I am just nervous, excited, melancholy and so many other emotions.

    Good luck!  It is scary and stressful to take such a risk, but it can have such amazing rewards. Good for you for realizing you needed a change and working to do something about it. Sending good thoughts on the job front and hope your health improves soon.

    Sending good thoughts your way on the job!  I know it has to be stressful and it will be a huge change, but it sounds like it will be a great change for all of you. Good luck!

    YES!!!  I know, that is one of things I am MOST excited about. I feel like I will find people more "like me" in that area.
