All better now

Have decided to stay on the stay-at-home route. Feeling much more calm now. Didn't sleep all that well last night worrying about how to launch a program and clean a refrigerator all in one day...

What have I become? Wait - don't answer that (especially you Nik).

good for you. even though i do work out of my house, i know that my kids and my work don't mix. at all. they have to be separate, as in, i can only work at night or twice a week on daycare days. otherwise, i neglect my kids for the computer, and it makes me feel like i'm not doing either job very well. it's a tough balance. the job you are doing now is a good one, and i'm glad you love it. :)

well, the peace you feel says you made the right choice.

just so you know, i am torn every once in awhile to go get a "real" job, but somehow always end up staying home too!

the thing is, i don't have any kids :)) so i really really must have lost my edge! i kinda like having rounded edges, i guess...

Thanks so much for the support guys. It means a lot. By the way, I slept great last night :-) I also forwarded the lead to a friend who recently lost her job and needs the extra income right now, so it worked out for everyone.

50 is the new 40

There is hope - I realized today that Madonna is going to be 50 in like 3 months - crazy. 50. Have you seen her lately? She looks amazing and is proof that 50 is the new 40 or in her case 35. Here is her most recent song w/Justin Timberlake, 4 Minutes. Not gonna win a Grammy, but makes me want to start doing yoga, I would give anything for arms like that.

Pleased as punch

We got our new vacuum cleaner last night. The home office was kind enough to pick one up along with our PF Chang's takeout. Take out Chinese on Valentine's is a tradition. Anyhoo, as you can see from the photo we basically sucked up an entire Pomeranian in our upstairs family room. I don't know if I should be embarrassed or pleased. I mean we just vacuumed on Monday with the Hoover and I knew it wasn't picking up everything, but this is ridiculous. The home office was so impressed with the Animal he went downstairs and vacuumed up another canine in the family room down there. I am still trying to figure out all of the gadgets on the machine. I seriously cannot figure out how to attach the stair cleaner. It is really funky how the thing is put together, efficient, but funky. I also for the life of me cannot figure out the directions. I dislike how all European companies, Dyson (UK), IKEA (Sweden) just show you pictures. I always thought I was a visual person, but I am b

Gainfully employed

I heard back last night from Cargill , I start back into the world of the gainfully employed as an independent contractor on October 8 th . My old client, who will now be my new client, Jeff wrote: I'm thrilled we get to work together again. This is the most important project our business unit has taken on in a lot of years so I feel a lot better knowing you're going to be part of it. OK now I'm nervous. Eeek - the most important project? Whoa, better bring the A game, but you know I am excited - scared - but am ready to go. I have so much to do before the 8 th , gotta get the list together to make the most of my kid free week (now that litte man is at daycare in the a.m.). Let's see: 1) Paint basement. 2) Purge house of clutter - how can we accumulate this much crap? 3) Goodwill and library drop off - Maple Grove Library is taking donations until Oct. 6 th !!! 4) Get the yard ready for winter - should I plant more bulbs? 5) Put basement back together - IKEA run ma
