It is catch up day while I actually have a minute. My little guy is sleeping and the little girl I'm babysitting is playing happily. So I get to write! Yay me!
From the title of this post, I'm guessing you're wondering what isn't worth it. Well here goes!
A few months ago, my dear husband wasn't getting many hours at work, since he's project based. It was really starting to put a strain on us financially, so I decided to find a part time job to help out. So I have been working Monday-Friday, 20 hours a week for the past while. After about a month it became very clear that it wasn't working for us. I am going to be very open and honest here. It put a huge strain on our relationship, not to mention is was hard on our sweet Xavier. And of course Spencer got in lots of work right after I started, so we were just swapping. I would go to work every morning while he stayed home with Xavier, then I'd get home and he'd go to work, often until Xavier needed to get to bed. But the little guy was struggling, so it was a battle to get ANYTHING done around the house. So we were eating out more, our apartment was a total disaster... Needless to say, we were struggling. Way more than we were before I started working. So it hit us, this isn't worth it. This little bit of money is not worth the stress it put on my family.
I'm sure you've guessed it, and I'm trying to keep this brief. I quit. I gave my two weeks notice a few weeks ago, so last Friday was my last full week. I am working Tuesday and Thursday morning this week and next, and then I am done. I am staying on so I can help when they need it. So I know I will be working at least a week in October so someone can have some time off.
I couldn't be more excited. This past Monday, and today, not having to go into work in the morning was so amazing. My family has been happier, I've gotten so much more done so our apartment looks great! It's been wonderful.
So for my tidbit. If there is something in your life that is causing you lots of stress, get rid of it. I know there are some things that you just can't get rid of. But there are some things that you can. So whatever it is, just get rid of it. The relief and joy from getting rid of it is so worth it! So take a look at your life. If something is stressing you needlessly, then it's not worth it.
