I have
decided on a quit date. Why is it so hard to tell my boss. I am literally queazy when I think about it. I know it would be a relief to have it out in the open. I feel like I am hiding something. I hate secrets. Last time I quit, he went through 7 secretaries in the 4 years I was home. UGH!

I know how you feel. I always feel like that when I have to give notice. I've gotten better at it, though, because I've the multitude of jobs I've had, lol. Best to do it matter-of-fact, but with sympathy. Good luck!

I understand. I hate knowing that I'm going to quit and not having them know. It feels like lying, but I know that it could be worse to tell prematurely. And, I hate feeling as if I'm disappointing someone.

I think disappointing him is some of it. Also, I am terrified I won't make it as a WAHM and am scared of taking that plunge. It might be easier if I knew what tuition was going to be next year for the girls. $1000 a month scares me so much. We have not heard about scholarship yet. I am hoping for about $800 but . . .
