Farewell

Today was my final day at the Free Press. The big farewell was yesterday, when we had the traditional good-bye cake and speeches. Two of my bosses -- the only two bosses I've had in five years -- gave incredible speeches that left me a little overwhelmed. I've had many farewell lunches with friends and too many hugs to count. It's all been wonderful.

Of course, it's easier to leave knowing that I'm doing it for the right reasons. If I were leaving for another job, I may have changed my mind by now! But knowing how much my children will enjoy having me home, how much I will enjoy watching them grow, and how much less stress our family will have, I know this is the absolute best decision.

And please remind me of this next week when I'm pulling my hair out and picking up toys for the hundreth time in a day. :)
