I quit my job

(i have written and deleted this post a couple of times now, so i will spare all of the details and get the core of why i quit)

Yesterday I quit my job or rather gave my 2 week notice. (don't worry I didn't just walk out)
Jason and I have come to the conclusion that work or a job should not deter us from doing the things we love most and the things that bring us the most joy. And for a while now, my job has been sucking the life out of me. I don't mind working weekends. Hey I'm a college student and it's something I should expect, but I also live 8 hours away from my precious family and I have had to sacrifice my happiness and well being for the sake of a JOB that requires me to work every single weekend without fail.
Well not anymore.
I tried to see if we (we being me and my employer) could work something out with my schedule, but that wasn't going to happen. I knew nothing would change, but I had to try. I had to give them the chance to try. I didn't want to walk out of there saying that I didn't give them a chance.
For me this means two things.
1) I get to come home next weekend (april 13-16ish) YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2) I need to find a new job. I hate job hunting, but ah, life goes on and the bills are still due at the same times every month, so I will look for a job.
I don't like to quit anything, I feel like I'm giving up, like I didn't try hard enough and that I'm letting my co-workers down. But for Jason and I this was the best decision for me and for us and I do not have a heavy heart about it. I just know there is something that will fit my schedule better, even if I have to work at McDonalds...(just kidding, only as a last resort) A job no matter how essential to sustaining life as I know it will never again shape and sway the decisions that Jason and I make as a family.

I have a light heart now knowing that I will get to see most of my family's shining faces.
