I gave my notice to work.
I am allowed to work through lunch but I explained that I was planning to leave after tax season because its just not cost effective for me to work when the kids are out of school. Right now WITH them in school, I'm breaking even by working through my lunch hour.
I've also decided I'm going to scale back my agenda. I'm obviously not ready to return to work on the full scale yet. So why rush graduation?
I'm killing myself taking 3 classes and working and with four kids.
Soooo, I'll just take 1 class from now on and probably graduate in December 2010.
My last day is April 15th, I just hope the job understands that it is purely because of the cost of childcare.
On that note, then my current job can have more of my time & devotion and THAT one is the one that makes sure I have food on the table for my kids.
So today was awkward

I can certainly understand your desire to cut back on the classes and working. You've got a full load on your plate already! Your kids are only young once, and as the younger ones move into preschool and school, it should become easier (and more cost effective) to work at that time.

Is this the new job? Whatever job, your kids are only little once and there is no sense in burning the candle at both ends. Good luck to you!

Food on the table is good!

Its been 2 days and I thought I could handle it but it is TOUGH! I have 2 finals due around 4/13 & 4/14. And my DH is supposed to be going on a trip for some presidential thing that is going to happen right around that time. HECTIC! I'm fitting in ANY time to work on school whether I'm making dinner or something. The kids have spring break that week too and for those 3 days ALONE I'll be paying $240.
I'm sure my current job will also appreciate my increased availability too.
