SAHM - Officially.
May 1st.
My resignation took effect yesterday. I left the office, for the last time, at 9PM. I left with a very heavy heart. It took a great deal of effort to convince myself NOT to cry.
It was all so bittersweet for me. That was my first job, and I lasted five years. What was supposed to be a temporary money solution while I work got extended because I need to get married, I got pregnant, then I needed to support the family. Then I got promoted and work became something I really loved.
I guess it’s also bittersweet in a way that this is totally life-changing for me. Im not dreading staying at home - Im so looking forward to it. Time with the kids. Focus on me. Good stuff.
But when you leave a job that has so much memories - it hurts.I grew up there. I had friends. Too many happy and sad memories.
Bittersweet.
That’s what April 30 meant.

Hello Aggie! *hugs* to you.
Alam mo ba, when you posted sa Twitter kagabi that you are about to leave PS and your heart is heavy, I asked Diane kung anong shop ang PS. Akala niya eh PhotoShop daw yun. Haha! Now I realized that it’s your job.
Sige lang, at least you left with happy memories naman.

I completely understand how you feel! There’s this feeling of something being broken/torn/severed from you
It can be liberating some times, but other times it hurts a lot. But it IS a better situation you’re going into, and I trust that you can handle it

hi aggie, hindi ka nag-iisa, marami tayong dumaan sa ganyan. *hugs* anyway, tulad nga ng sabi mo at sabi nila, kakaiba ang klase ng fulfillment that you get as a sahmmy - it may be different from the one you are used to, pero fulfillment pa rin siya nonetheless.
good luck aggie and enjoy!

[...] YOU DONE THAT YOU’VE NEVER DONE BEFORE? We took a leap of faith and moved out on our own with me resigning from my stable job to take care of our kids. Leap of Faith talaga. AS IN! DID YOU KEEP YOUR NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS? [...]
