I making serious plans to retire. I'll be 55 soon, have worked at the same place for 32 years and I'm ready to say goodbye. I'm planning on volunteering at the local elementary school helping children learn to read, cleaning out and organizing closets, working on quilting, knitting and scrap booking and getting in decent shape.
But first I plan on sleeping for a week solid.
Hubby has always had morning duty, he is responsible for getting the boys ready for school or summer camp or what ever they had to do on a week day morning. I have always been responsible for being home to meet the bus and take care of the afternoon stuff. We both think the other has the better deal. He has had to get crabby guys up and get them dressed and out of the house on time. I had to get up early so I could leave in time to meet the bus and supervise homework.
I'm tired of getting up early and he is tired of being morning dad. Since he won't retire when I do, I will take over the morning responsibilities. But we have both reached agreement that I get to sleep in for the first week and he hands over responsibilty on week two of retirement.
Back to counting down. I have 164.5 week days of work remaining. That includes 2 weeks of vacation and 8 holidays or a grand total of a maximum of driving to work another 146 days. It seems forever.
