Stepping Down

As of Monday, I am no longer the Accounting Supervisor at work.  I have gone part time and so I don't work enough hours to supervise the department. I have been the supervisor for over 3 1/2 years now and I've worked full time for a little over 3.

It's bittersweet.  I am so grateful that Matt was able to find a job to make this possible.  And it works out perfectly where Matt and my schedules offset so we don't have to worry about babysitters or anything.  I am loving staying home with Bear in the mornings and being a mom.  And it's actually kind of nice to get away for just a few hours in the day to work my brain and socialize with adults, but I don't feel like I'm gone so long away from home.  It's kind of awkward though, work wise.  Work promoted one of my employees to become the supervisor, so she is now my boss, after I have been her boss this whole time, but I am training her to be the supervisor and how to be my boss.  Like I said, awkward.

But I feel really good about the decision we made for me to go part time.  I am taking a significant pay decrease and lost my title but it's totally worth it to be a mom.  I feel so blessed.  He brings me so much joy.
