<human>: Background: I work with kids. I get sick all the time.  Last three weeks I've had croup, but I'm thinking it's actually whooping cough or possibly pneumonia.  I can barely breath my chest hurts so bad.  Dogs are kenneled eight hours a day and have developed a lot of stress issues.   I tried barricading them in the kitchen but one of them is an evil genius and learned to open the fridge, remove the meat and eat it.     I love what I do and I'm good at it,but  I'm sick of being sick.  I hate that my dogs are trapped the majority of the day.  

I washed and folded all my uniform tops, packed them and my work books, printed a brief letter of resignation and went to go quit.  Boss wouldn't accept it.   She said I'm too valuable and she'd rather I was out the next few weeks than quit.   I'm flex on call , but I work like 40+ hours a week.  I could not work for three months and I'd still have my job.   The money is nice, but it's not needed since SO makes enough.  I make the fun money basically.  SO makes the necessary money.

Can you condense the text into a few key points?
<bot>: I'm pretty sure I want to quit my job, but I don't know how. I need some advice and encouragement.
