Okay, so I want to cut back my hours at work...  Currently, I work at least 51 hours a week.  I would like to work 8:00 to 5:30.  Not a 40 hour week, but better than 50+.  I don't know if I have to wait for my contract to renew in August or if I can renegotiate right now.  I think I will let my boss that I would like to cut back a little in August and then see what she offers.  I miss my husband, my home, my dogs (when they don't destroy stuff), my life.  I lose my evenings right now and Chris and I don't have much time together.  To compound the situation, Chris goes to bed at like 8:30 now b/c he gets up about 5:00am.  So when I get off at 7:00, home at 7:30, we have one whole hour to see each other.  I could try to go to bed early and then get up early with him.  Maybe I can try that during the summer until my contract renews.  Okay then.... I'm off to bed.
