one week.

it's been one week since i left my job.

it's been nice.

semi-stressful, but nice.

things aren't nearly as tense as they were before. we're smiling more. laughing more. hugging more. kissing more.

we're snuggling more. we're helping each other out more. we're sleeping more soundly.

and, by we, i mean me + the hubs.

the kids have adjusted well, too. they know. they know why i left. there are no secrets in our home. they understand that we have to be more frugal & more practical & more resourceful. they are learning that you must follow your heart.

as for me, i'm relaxed. more relaxed than i've been in a really long time. i'm crafting, i'm baking, i'm cooking, i'm cleaning...i'm happy.

in all seriousness, quitting my job was the best thing i could have ever done. really. it's better than being on "happy pills" {and, trust me, i've taken "happy pills" before}.
