Well, I've been absent from TT again for a while. Seems like since I've joined, I pop in and out. But, I hope to be a more permanent part of the community since I QUIT MY JOB! :dance:
Today is my first official day of unemployment and it feels great! I will have a lot more time for my family and my teddies. My husband isn't thrilled with the fact that I quit when the economy isn't too great but, we will make do. I just worked part time for my sister who is a doctor. I started working for her as a favor and have been working way longer than I ever anticipated. I never intended to be my sister's receptionist for the rest of my life. And, the holidays are a great time to quit, while I won't have a paycheck, I will have more time for making gifts, baking and spending time with the kids!
I'm going to try to catch up on some of the posts now then start another project!
Hugs,
Alison
Welcome back to us, Alison . . . yes, "retiring" from a day job is wonderful. I've made all my Christmas gifts this year (still have a few to go) and it's actually fun. Happy free time!!!
24/7 Bears all day! YIPPIE!!! When we jumped into teddies full time it was the best feeling ever, and it still is!
Now get to creating!
Congratulations Alison, I know this is something you have been aiming toward, I am happy for you

Thanks everyone. Gail, you're right, this is the best Christmas give I could give myself and my kids too! I just hope my husband doesn't expect gourmet dinners every night. If I feel this good quitting, I know it is the right decision!
Hugs!

When I "retired" from my State job two years ago, I couldn't believe how good I felt. I'm just now settling into my teddy bear world and joining you guys is part of that wonderful feeling ... I love my life! Congratulations to you Alison!!
