Like Micheal I resigned on my own terms. I also have the ability to return if I want. To be honest, I am still torn about making the decision; but only when I get time to myself. Being soooo busy with the kids is making it easier in that way.

Also the housework is crazy. My wife was not the best housekeeper and it was nice to have her admit that yesterday (no prodding on my part either). The good thing is that I can get things to where I want them to be in the house. I have made a concious effort to see the time between 8-4 as a regular job. I get up in the morning, shower, shave, and comb my hair, get dressed, sometimes even in a button down shirt. Then I walk to the kitchen and start my job. The nice thing about it though, is if I took this many breaks in the "real" world I'd be fired. The kids love the time with Dad.

Cooking has always been a passion of mine, a stress reliever. My wife really didn't cook. In fact she has learned alot of what she knows from me. Never thought a thing about either, as I learned from my father.

Its only been a few weeks and I am feeling the need to be with other adults. So it is time for me to get involved more in the community. We just moved to the area about 6 months ago, so hopefully that will also help develop some good freindships to boot.
