trunky: adj. Restless, antsy (2). Specifically, eager to leave or go home. Possibly referring to "packing one's trunks."
I've noticed over the last week or so (G would say last year...) that I am officially trunky. With only one...or two...or possibly three weeks left to work, I'm definitely ready to be done and retire. Some may laugh when I say retire, because the life I'm about to take on is probably the complete opposite of "retirement." But to me, it sounds like retirement. I'm so grateful I'll get to stay home and won't (hopefully) ever have to work at a paid day job again. To some, that may sound awful and many people at work have given me funny looks when I say I'm quitting, but to me it sounds like pure bliss. I'm also grateful I have had the opportunity to work full-time for the last three years so that I know what both worlds are like; so that on the I-haven't-slept-for-three-nights-in-a-row-and-this-child-will-not-stop-crying days I can look back and remind myself that I chose that life. I consider myself lucky to be able to have both experiences.
Here's to hoping I can stay focused for a wee bit longer.
