I have a job (I'm a secretary at my church) I love, most days, but I'm just a temp sort of speak.  I'm covering a different position because that position is more important than mine (assistant to the CRE, basically I make all her copies and help out on RE night) and is vacant.  I can't take the job because I work in an office of 4 women and there would be hurt feelings, but it's so much more meaningful.  

Anyways, they recently hired my "replacement" so back to my old job I go.  However I don't feel like working anymore.  It doesn't matter what I do it's no longer my job and won't be again.  I want to quit where I work all together to be a stay at home mom, but I work at my church and see my "bosses" nearly dayly because of all the volunteer work I do.  I don't know what to do!

I know I have to have a "purpose" to the outside world, not just to my world so I need to have an outlet.  I have lots of volunteer work, (coordinator of youth service trip, member of Social Justice committee, member of Liturgy committee, website updater, newsletter writer, bible study leader and many other talents i've accumulated) so I think that would be enough but I would be at the same office with my bosses and I don't need any resentment pushed on me!  

Anyways I have a week and a half before my "replacement" comes to figure out if I'm just going to stick it out and continue working here or if I should quit.  I do enjoy being the "Assistant to the CRE" however, how long do I want to be?

With my last twenty bucks I would buy:

Practical - lots of eggs.  Eggs can be used for every meal, have great nuitrition and are a decent price.  If I only had $20 I would buy as many eggs as I could because they would feed my children and husband the best.

Frivolous - I would buy a pedometer - an expensive one.  I once had one that I plugged into the computer and it logged the times a walked and much more.  I loved it and washed it.  I would buy another one if I could.

One of my choosing - a good movie I could watch with my husband and daughter.  that way we could spen some great time together.
