Today it’s the day I’ve been waiting for a long time. I am very nervous, very anxious and my ideas are a little mixed up so I will just write as things flow out of my mind.

I’m starting to cry. Will it be joy? Happiness? Sadness? or just anxiety? I don’t know.

I will be meeting my lawyer later in the afternoon and we are going to write my resignation letter to the company I worked for 15,5 years. I’m quitting my full time job but it’s what I want.

After years of “serving” my bosses, taking care of my office work and their personal matters I’m finally taken a step forward and put behind my back all the humiliation I was put through.

There were good moments in the earlier years when I liked my work, the bosses, but people change, money changes people and people become nasty and mean to others. Money changed my bosses minds, made them careless about others and they felt they should be served instead of having someone in the office to do the it was supposed to be done. I stopped being a worker to be a servant.

But money was also the main reason why I didn’t leave the job sooner. I need money, who doesn’t? I have two kids to feed, a house to keep and sometimes I just pretended I was in a nice place doing my job with great people around me.

I loved my co-workers, they were fabulous, they still are. We used to help each other going through the day. Most of them are not there any more, they all left before me.

For the last 60 days my life has been upside down waiting for TODAY. 60 Days ago I ended up in ER because of the bosses. TODAY I will be free.

TODAY I am going to send my resignation letter because due to bosses stubbornness they refused to pay me two months of salary and now, the law says, I have the right to resign and they have to pay for it.

I believe this case will end up in court, I might not receive a dime but I’ll be FREE. I don’t mind about money any more, I want to be where I want to be, not forced to be. I want to be respected and if people don’t respect me, than…bye bye.

Tomorrow it will be another day…of FREEDOM.

Problems will show up, I will need money, I will count every cent I have but I’ll find my way through tough times.

I will start to be only everyday and I hope I can make a living out of internet. I don’t know…but I will be FREE.

My eyes are filled with tears so I won’t be checking up for misspelling. I need to go out now. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.

I didn’t mentioned this before but last week, Monday February 1st it was my son’s 11th birthday. On Monday we bought a small cake just for the four of us and Saturday he invited a few friends and had a small party.

11 years…uau…he is so grown up, I’m so old…

After several tests and theme changes offline I finally had the courage to change the theme. Over the next days I’m going to “tune” the appearance, sidebars, etc. so if you arrive here and see no sidebars or an error, please come back later. I’ll be playing with html and css code in the next few days and…I know Zero about coding. My biggest problem right now is to find a away to show paragraphs in the main page without using the
tags all the time (individual posts are just fine).

Be patience please.

It’s time for another kid’s friendly recipe.

This time I bring here a recipe with an ingredient that not everyone likes, spinach. But I’m sure that your kids are going to love this meal and they will forget that it has spinach in it. It takes around 15 minutes to prepare and 30 minutes to bake.

Three Cheese Baked Ziti with Spinach

Ingredients:

• 1 package (16 ounces) uncooked medium tube-shaped pasta (ziti)
• 1 bag (6 ounces) baby spinach, washed (about 4 cups)
• 1 jar (1 pound 9 ounces) Prego® Marinara Italian Sauce
• 1 cup ricotta cheese
• 4 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 cup)
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions:

* Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Add the spinach during the last minute of the cooking time. Drain the pasta and spinach well in a colander. Return them to the saucepot.
* Stir the sauce, ricotta, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder and black pepper into the pasta mixture. Spoon the pasta mixture into a 13 x 9 x 2-inch shallow baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses.
* Bake at 350°F. for 30 minutes or it’s until hot and bubbling.

Enjoy!
