... You don't have to wait to be fired.
My unemployment has presented me with similar opportunities and I've enjoyed them fully. I don't want to get all weird on you but, ...
this is your life, not a rehearsal
you make time for the important things
when you lose everything, you have a greater appreciation for what's really important
the kids will remember the fun stuffs like this, not that you had eleven consecutive outstanding attendance awards
etc.
Just... work is often overrated. having money to pay for food isn't overrated, yeah, right, I know. but it's possible to simplify, maybe even dramatically simplify. And the kids will be right there.
