There are have been a few changes around our house recently that have made me wonder if I need to back off a little at work. My husband was recently promoted to a new position and in addition to having more responsiblity is going to be traveling more. I also have really missed having a day or two with my kids at home. I didn't realize how much I needed that time with them and some time to manage the household. After much prayer and thought, I met with my mentor this morning about cutting back to 4 days a week at work. That extra day at home is going to be so helpful to our family and should keep things running smoothly without extra stress.
The con is that backing off may prevent me from ever going to 1 FTE in the future b/c the budget will be set for 0.8 FTE from now on; however, that is perfectly okay with me. It will probably take a month or so to get the paperwork squared away, but I feel really good about this decision. As much as I would love to think I'm super woman who can do it all, I can't. And that is okay. :)
