Leah, I am not much help either LOL
If I remember right we are close to the same age and now we are going through the same thoughts.
What we want to do and what we have to do are two totally different things.
I am lucky that my wife is now in a position to almost maintain us for a couple of months while I try to figure something out.
Last week I got tired of being talked down to by my manager (Infront of my staff) so I told Pop A Lock to kiss my hind end.
I have never ever ever ever done anything without having some type of plan so this is a first for me.
I dream job is working at the San Antonio Zoo but two things happen, I dont have a degree to get in the "upper" poistions and I have been management too long so I am over qualified to scoop poo People dont seem to understand that I just want to work and money is not huge in my life anymore.
You just need to figure out what to do that will keep you able to spend time with that little man you got there. Im sure he will always be proud to look up to you no matter what choice you make.
