Time for a change (non pg related revelation)

So, as I know most of you are aware of my crazy psychotic wench of a boss, so I'll keep this short and simple.
Wednesday at closing, we had a problem with a patient file; some things jist weren't adding up. By this point, we have been closed 10 minutes and I'm running late to pick up my husband and meet my parents for my birthday dinner. I tried explaining to her that this customer has been a regular since June and we have to run all new patient files through her before accepting and scripts. Well, conveniently, she doesn't remember me talking to her about this patient when he came in 3 months ago. Ling story short, he writes us a check on a closed account; of which we didn't find out about until trying to cash it at the bank. She's to cheap to invest in anything that will prevent this from happening in the future.
Today, my day off, she calls me and tells me not to bother coming in tomorrow, that she will work and to just enjoy my weekend and that we need to talk about this patients file on Monday. Number one, she HATES working there and would NEVER work there willingly. Number two, why is she cutting my hours, taking money away from me that we need, for no reason? Apparently, the patient said that he "knows" me very well. The only thing I know about him is he lives a few doors down from our landlords. That's it! So now, I am pretty sure this is her getting back at me for trying to find another job without telling her first; as if torpedo-ing my interview wasn't enough this week. And she's all but blatantly come out and accused me of taking kick backs from our customers off this one guy's bullshit lie about knowing me. So on Saturday, before 2pm, I'm officially quitting this job and I'm not even giving her the satisfaction of two weeks notice. Its one thing to take away a day per week from my pay to help give the new girl some hours, its an entirely different thing to cut off 5 hours of pay for no reason, making my paycheck this coming period super small because of how the days work out.
I'm done. I'm not going to be her bitch anymore. She can work ALL next week by herself since deciding to pull this crap. I have put up with a lot, and am willing to put up with a lot for a decent wage, but when you start taking away my money without reason, that's where I draw the line. Fortunately, I have a shoe in with an employer who knows all about what I've been going through with her and has no problem with me being pregnant. I have officially excommunicated myself from further abuse from her and will make it perfectly known to her, that if she finds out where I'm working after I've left, and she tries to pull anything like what she did this week with my last interview, I will sue her for everything I can.
Damn, freedom never felt so free!

Its just time to cut my losses and frankly I'm ok with that. I know I'll be happier and stress free for the better.
Waited a long time, tried a lot of stuff, science made me a mom.
The reason why I say it was the best decision is because I am not using her as an employment reference. I know you guys kept telling me to report her to higher ups, but the problem is SHE OWNS the company. She IS the higher up. I have filed a few complaints with the labor commission, but I know that they won't do anything without having more than one person complain; they've basically told me that. At this point, she's accused me of stealing from her and has somehow come to this conclusion based on one mans lie. I have already spoken with an attorney today who says I have a solid case if she screws with me any further, or any of my future employment.
Me leaving the job was the best thing as it was causing undue stress to the baby. At my drs appointment yesterday, my nurse said that babys heart rate seemed a little uneasy and asked if I had been under a lot of stress. I had told her what has been happening at work, and she was the one who told me that my stress was stressing the baby. So this decision was more so to protect my child rather than alleviate the burden of dealing with a crazy boss who thinks I'm thieving from her without proof.
Besides my husband just received a promotion and a raise at his new job yesterday because his bosses have been so impressed with his work this first week, and were even more impressed at his interview. So I am not concerned about the money, we are still covered on our income.
To be honest, I think this whole mess from this week stemmed from her finding out I was searching for other employment without telling her. This was her way of getting back at me for it, aside railroading my interview, and that was the final straw. For her to stoop to subterfuge like that, over the fact that I got pregnant shortly after starting there and didn't tell her first, is really low and sad in my opinion.
But at any rate, yes, I do believe this was the best decision to make concerning her and this job and I don't regret making it either.
