Well, I am sitting here listening to the sound of The Incredibles on the TV and a lovely jackhammer in my neighbor's yard. It's not looking too good for nap time today. Owen is over today and he and Liam have been playing and laughing it up all day. Those little guys are fun to watch. Austin tries to keep up with them, but they can run faster than he crawls.
This morning Austin stood for about 5 seconds. Jeremy and I were right there to see it, so it was pretty exciting. Austin got a big smile on his face and then he did it again. It's great watching the kids learn new things. It never gets old. :)
So, my current dilema is deciding whether to quit my job or not. I feel like I am more than ready to take the leap, but at the same time it is a little scary. I haven't been 100% dependent on anyone else for such a long time. I know my income was very little of the household income, but I have the potential to work as much as I want if the need arose. So not having that security there is scary to me. On the other hand, the whole environment at work has gotten pretty ugly. It seems that everyone is pretty unhappy and it feels really tense when I work. The other day one of the doctors went off on me and another nurse over the littlest thing. It was silly and he made such a big deal about it. And my supervisor seems like she is going to totally lose it any day now. I have been feeling stressed out lately- partly from overwhelming exhaustion (okay, mostly from overwhelming exhaustion), and partly from feeling like my life is out of control. Having four kiddos and little help most days has been difficult. It seems like taking the extra stress of my job out of the picture will help things. So, any way, my mind is overwhelmed with trying to make the right decision. Any input is appreciated! (Although I will probably turn in my resignation letter tomorrow if I don't chicken out!).
So, there's not much else on my mind right now. I am not hearing the jackhammer right now, so maybe I will try to get three little guys down for a nap. If I am lucky, maybe one momma will get a nap too!
PS Brothers!! Please write! I want to hear from you all too.

The great thing about being a nurse is that you can find a job anywhere within an instant. Yes, the circumstances might not always be ideal (are they ever?), but in a pinch you can find something. So, I say go ahead and quit. It's not worth the agony you feel every time you have to go in. If push comes to shove in the future, you can find something, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Like you always say, Jeremy is a great provider. You guys will be just fine. :)
By the way, that's cool about Austin standing for the first time. He's so amazing! :)
