Spilling the Beans

Ok, I have to admit something.  I've been keeping a secret.  It probably doesn't seem like anything major to anyone else, but it's a big deal to me.  Well, it's a big deal to our whole little family.  I suppose it's time to fess up now.

I'm going to quit my job.  Starting in September, I'm going to be a SAHM again.  For a year and a half I was home with Beanie full-time.  Even after that, I was home with her.  She went to preschool or daycare some of the day, and a times, she was even there from 9 to 3.  Even then, I dropped her off in the morning and picked her up every day.  I was only able to be home with the minis until 7 months, and it's been killing me.  I miss them SO much.  I hate that there is someone else holding them and experiencing all the firsts with them.  We're going to change that.

When we did the math, we realized that putting all three girls into preschool next year will only cost a little less than what I make.  As we looked at the numbers, we realized that it's completely possible for me to make enough money from small business clients and/or sleep coaching clients to cover the difference.  So, we're going to do it.  Beanie will still go to Pre-K next year because I'm not ready to take on homeschooling the year before she starts Kindergarten.  The minis will be home with me full-time.

We took the first step this week by not returning the enrollment paperwork for Beanie's preschool and enrolling her at a cute local preschool.  I'm terrified on so many levels.  What if I don't make enough money?  What if the new school doesn't prep her for K as well as her current one?  What if I can't handle being with the minis full-time?  Basically, what if this is a mistake?!?

Wish me luck!
