Reactions

Reactions to my accouncement varied:

My kids are use to us always talking about our dreams and what we want to do but dont often see us do it. We dream big but acheive little. So they thought at first that it was just another crazy idea coming from us. Now they relize it is really going to happen and they seem to be just fine with it.

My work was second to be told. I think they thought that it was me talking crazy again until I gave them a months notice.

My mom laughed hysterically for about 5 minutes but is very supportive.

My dad did not like the idea at all. Of course his biggest worry is the kids. I wouldn't expect anyone to react any differently. He is good grandfather.

I dont think everyone realizes that my biggest worry is the kids. Everyone, I think, believes that we are just going to leave the kids at home alone for weeks but that isnt true. The longest we would be gone is abt 4 days at a most. During that time we have made arrangements for the kids to keep them busy with family and activities.

My sisters were shocked at first but have been supportive. One of my sisters wanted to make sure that I do have a will and that she will get the kids. I think she would steal my kids away from me right now if she could.


If i see that this isnt working for us, i hate it, or my children are suffering in anyway than I will quit it and get a job close to home.

I believe to live life fully that you sometimes have to take blinded leaps into the unknown. You will never know what is possible if you stay in your safe little box.
