I’ve been off for a while working on writing projects I landed in quick succession. Twelve 500 word rewrites in 5 days and 8 100 word blogs in a day. Not bad but in the meantime I messed up this blog by not posting everyday. You’re looking at the title and wondering about the speed bump, aren’t you?
Sunday I rolled a quad. I was being stupid and tried to make this tiny thing (it’s only an 80) go up a hill it wasn’t meant to climb with me on it. Subsequently the front wheels went up in the air dumping me unceremoniously onto my rear end. While I was laying there in shock, the piece of machinery stalled and drifted backwards onto my sprawled body. I had tires on my hips and couldn’t get this thing to budge. My husband came to my rescue and my daughter said “I told you so,” in so many words because I had been cautioned about driving it up the hill before the wreck ensued.
Enough about me, how are y’all? I checked out a few blogs on my way in and I’m not surprised that I’m surrounded by talent. When I first heard about WordPress it specifically described as a place for people to work on the talent that was provided to them at birth. We could all have a little blog, a little description of life, a vast outlet of emotions.
My husband casually mentioned to me the other day that I looked ran over about 8 times. Apparently I’m keeping too many balls in the air to keep looking fresh as a daisy. Don’t get him wrong, he understands how stretched thin I am. If I were actually thin that would be a more ironic statement. Anyway, with great faith comes great reward. Friday evening I had the strangest message on my answering machine that I broke down into tears of absolute hysteria. I had blogged previously about leaving brick and mortar to work at home and be a WAHM. The message was from a woman who I had applied to over 5 years ago. She wanted to know if I was still interested in WAHMing and she could really use me. I have a conference call interview this afternoon for this job and I am going to get it. There is no doubt that God left my resume in this woman’s files for 5 years just for this opportunity.
God knows how much this would help me to be able to work at home. I could clean my house for once instead of spot checking it once a week. I could have actual time to work out, walk the dog and spend real time with the children. I wouldn’t be so darned tired at the end of the day from running the hubby’s business, keeping my job afloat and not getting any time to do the little things with the kids they miss and love. I could grocery shop on a Thursday afternoon and hike with the kids on Saturday instead. This is my job to get and devote 25 hours a week so that my husband has me to run parts, pull permits and make sales.
