I never thought I’d be working with The Hubs. In fact, I openly spoke against it in the early days of our marriage. “No way we could work together.” “I didn’t go to college for four years to just be your helper.” “I don’t think spending that much time together is a good idea.” “IContinue reading “Family Business”

Hard Workin Man
I gave myself a couple of days off from blogging. It felt like too much too fast, an overly ambitious Lenten Promise for someone who hadn’t blogged in over a year I’m glad I did take a couple of days though. I needed it. This week is going to be hectic and having a peacefulContinue reading “Hard Workin Man”
W.W.P&D.D?
Today I had to do something that made me uncomfortable. It logically wasn’t something that should make me uneasy after years of sales experience but it did. I had to ask a brand new customer to pay in advance for the items we needed to fix their scale. We’re buying the items from a vendorContinue reading “W.W.P&D.D?”
Into The Unknown!
Dearest Readers, I’ve been putting off this post because I just didn’t have the mental fortitude to write it. I wasn’t ready for it to be real for a variety of reasons. Disclaimer before anyone freaks out, no one is dead or terribly I’ll and I’m not hatching anymore children, I just need a momentContinue reading “Into The Unknown!”
Working Life
Amidst the whirlwind of my crazy family, house repairs, and awesome job I’ve finally snuck in a minute to write. It’s 10:30p right now and the kids are asleep (in my bed of course), The Hubs is working late, and the dogs are fed and being lazy. I’ve hopped in the tub to wash theContinue reading “Working Life”
Finding Joy
I didn’t realize how much I missed writing to you all until the other night. I’ve been writing since October of 2018 and took my longest break from writing this year. Life was crazy and I was depressed. I normally share about that here but I felt short on time and motivation. Since I startedContinue reading “Finding Joy”
We’ll Get It Right
It’s 9:30pm and all four kids are in bed. Not asleep, but in bed so that’s a start at least. Tonight the yelling and crying was kept at a minimum, everyone got fed, and three out of four bathed so I’m calling it a win. I most definitely needed a win tonight. The yelling andContinue reading “We’ll Get It Right”
Hindsight In 2020
Well, my life as a housewife was blessedly and painfully short lived. Haha! While I did enjoy getting a lot done around the house and watching TV and relaxing, my bank account wasn’t pleased with the new arrangement. I’m pretty sure I was getting on my Husband’s nerves too. By the grace of God aContinue reading “Hindsight In 2020”
Unemployment Day 2: Slowing Down
Since we’re getting hit by a hurricane all of the kids are home. It’s easy to forget that you’re unemployed when it just feels like a very windy and gross long weekend. Going from working remotely to being unemployed brings with it some weird side effects. First, because I’ve gotten used to being at homeContinue reading “Unemployment Day 2: Slowing Down”
Unemployment Day 1: Housewife
I’ve decided to give myself a couple days to breathe and take care of some stuff around the house. On Monday the job application festivities begin. Before then I’ve got a big soap order to make and I’ll be cleaning the house some too. Oh and we may get hit by a hurricane. I didn’tContinue reading “Unemployment Day 1: Housewife”
