Three more weeks until I give up the part-time job! DH got a raise on his last check. A pretty good one. He will be bringing home an extra $400 a month. This is slightly more than I was making working my three nights a week. So now I get to be home full-time. We are still low-income, but with my "bag 'o frugal tricks" I think we will get along just fine.

DH and I have juggled our schedules, and worked opposite shifts for the last ten years, since dd was born. Now for the first time we will have dinner together more than once or twice a week. :mdance:

We already had our annual Halloween party planned for Oct. 28, now we can celebrate my "retirement" as well. My last day is Oct. 27. I will get my last paycheck Nov. 8, and plan to use that for Christmas shopping.:santasm:

I'm so happy for you and your FAMILY! There is nothing like that time you'll get to spend together you can't put a price on that. I know we love the fact that we work together and can adjust our schedule to be with our kids.
