I Quit My Job!

Well its time to confess....that I quit my part-time job a few weeks ago.  I typically am a very responsible person and fulfill my obligations, but teaching online is something I could not do anymore.  I taught one full class and then could just not do it anymore.  There are just so many household/family items that I could not get done.  In the evenings as soon as my kids went to bed I was worried about getting online to my class.  Many times I would be online for several hours only to go straight to bed.  Then either Friday or Saturday night I would have to spend hours grading.  I just really started to resent it.  My husband helps out when he can, but he also works many hours of overtime.  So we discussed it and agreed that it would be better for our family that I quit.  When I say better, obviously it is not better financially.  This decision dramatically changes our plans for debt repayment (around $780 per month).  But I don't care.  My stress level has decreased, my husband and I rarely have arguments now, my house is actually clean, and I get to spend more quality time with my kids.  And that is something that money cannot buy.
