Thankyou all so very much for all your comments and support. I used alot of what you said in my disscusion(s) with DH.

It, like I thought it might be, was an argument at first. It took a couple days before I could REALLY get him to understand where I was coming from. But it did. He agreed that it would not only benifit me, but him as well. That he could get more rest on the weekends if im not working 7am-3pm, since he doesnt get off work till 2:30am. That I would not be on his a** all the time about helping out around the house more since I worked so much too.

So the last few days I have been doing all the cleaning and cooking. As well as taking care of my kids. It has been great. Its been a very proud few days for me. I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. I am so thankful that he was much more understanding that I thought he would be.

He is working graveyard this week and next, so it couldnt have come at a better time because I would have had to call in anyway!

I am so happy! I am only working 2 days a week. I feel motivated and excited to start this new "job." LOL :)

I thankyou guys for your support and advise. You are a great group of ladies and I can now become part of your world (except for 2 days a week...lol)
