The End.

That's it...today's the day...the end. It's the official end of The CW Philly Wake-Up News...the show I've done since we moved here in 2005.

The following list is not meant to sound negative, but I was thinking about what I'd miss about this job, and the only thing I could honestly come up with was the steady paycheck. There is a long list, however, of things I won't miss...so here they are in no particular order:

-getting up at 12:30 a.m.
-putting on make-up and doing hair in a public bathroom
-dealing with divas
-being on the air every stinkin' 5 minutes for four excruciating hours
-repeating myself
-being tired all the time
-my alarm clock
-eating dinner at 3 p.m.
-not getting to see Jon during the week
-Sunday afternoon crunch to get everything done before a 5 p.m. dinner
-my weather computers
-not having a live radar
-not having a live warning system
-broadcasting out of a closet
-not getting to see Kate first thing every morning
-being able to go outside and enjoy early mornings

I'm sure there are more things...but this is what I could come up with.

I couldn't be more excited about this new chapter in my life. I never really thought about being a stay-at-home mom until we had Kate. Now, it's all I want. The fact that I get to still do weather occasionally is a perfect situation for me. It's awesome.

So, for those of you who read this and watched the show, it's been an interesting ride to say the least. Know that come Monday morning, I'll be enjoying every moment of the morning with Jon and Kate (no, not the idiots on the reality show...).
