Where did the months go? I am sure you will do a great job training your replacement/fill in person. And I think everything you are feeling is perfectly acceptable. It is hard to leave something that you love not really knowing how it will work in the future. But I am sure you will figure it out and everything will be great. Have a great last week of work!Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10084599747416359775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1301052227457633543.post-35830332464834471362013-11-11T12:23:03.365-05:002013-11-11T12:23:03.365-05:00When I left my job with Congress three years ago, ...When I left my job with Congress three years ago, I felt many mixed emotions, too. In my heart, I felt I had made the right decision in light of the way things were changing there and how unfulfilled I had become, but even so, on my last day I just wanted to burst into tears as I realized I was letting go of a huge piece of my identity, leaving some genuinely great coworkers, etc. In your case, with the baby on the way, I know the emotions and feelings of change are certainly even stronger, so I'm sending you a big hug this week. I truly believe that in time, you'll find the right rhythm, including once you're working part-time, and feel even more strongly that you've made the best decision for your life at this time. Hugs, Laura!

I may have been doing our monthly stat report from my hospital room. I was a tad of a control freak. <br /><br />Enjoy your time off and I love your mom's comment.

Parenthood is under rated in this country. No job is more important or will demand so much of you than parenthood. You will do/say things that would otherwise be impossible to do/say. Think of it this way-you've been a personal assistant for three years. You're about to become a personal assistant for life! The pay will suck but the benefits will be immeasurable and priceless!!Momnoreply@blogger.com
