I finally made it!!!

Today was my last day at work!! I am so excited for my life to slow down and have a chance to hang out with my kids and do my laundry.

It will be big changes for my family and we are so excited. Justin said "I won't have to wait for you in the rain anymore, you can actually be on time."

I started at the prosecutor's office almost thirteen years ago. I was nineteen years old and Sami was three months old. I spent four years there and had three more babies. I left for a year after Tanner was born. I went back to school. Crazy as I am, I went back to work full time, went to school full time and had four kids under five years old. A year after being back at the office, I was offered a supervisor position and took all of that on. That was almost seven years ago and I don't think that I have stopped to take a breath since then.

Last year I decided that it was time I spent more time at home, so we have been working to make that happen. I was originally planning for my job to change this summer, but things worked out earlier than expected and today was my last day. It feels so strange to realize that I won't be typing Complaints on Monday morning, instead I will be baking cookies with Jared and Lauren. I will probably be back at the office working on part-time projects. But for the next couple of weeks, I am taking it easy. Well taking it easy from 9:00 - 3:00 until the kids get home from school. Then I will run around like crazy driving kids to scouts, track, volleyball, tutoring . . . yeah the list never stops when you multiply it all times five kids.

Maybe I can finally sleep in tomorrow . . . I was going to celebrate tomorrow, but sleep sounds awesome.

Chris said, "we are closing a chapter in our lives. I think it was called 'chaos.'" I told him our new chapter is called "organization." Karen-I may need to borrow some labels :)

Whatever it is called, we are all ready and excited for it.
