How is It Thanksgiving Already?

I'm just trying to figure out how we have gotten to Autumn and the Thanksgiving holiday. I swear this year just started. How has this happened? It's not a bad thing, but I cannot figure out where the time has gone.

I'm guessing my two kids have helped in making things fly by. They always keep me busy and on my toes, so the day-in and day-out routines keep the days zipping by.

I'm amazed that my kids are over the halfway point for their next birthdays. I don't remember life moving at such a quick pace until my kids came along. Maybe that is what keeps us young.

We have some baking to get done: pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie as well as cranberry sauce. Yummy!! The kids will help out tomorrow so we can get everything done for the big dinner. It will be really great!

So, here's to enjoying turkey day and all the fixings, family, and friends. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Looking for Work

It is surprising to me that after being home with my kids for a little over four years, thing are still slow in the work-from-home department. I have worked for many different places, but some were invariably better than others. The stress level for one in particular was unbearable so it made sense to quit that one, but picking up the slack has definitely been difficult. I have found a few jobs that are fun to do, but the lack of work is frustrating.

Are there any other people out there doing something from home that actually works? I'm always looking for something new and interesting to keep my financial life afloat because it is really difficult to make it in these poor economic times.

My work currently involves working for publishers designing book interiors and writing articles for Web site. I also have just started selling Avon, which has been a different route for me, but one that I am really finding I enjoy, which is a good thing.

Hopefully with time I'll figure out something that just works the way I need it to. With all these jobs I'm working, it makes no sense to my why I'm not bringing in a decent amount of money. The problem I am seeing is that the jobs are not working together, i.e., one job might have work, but the others do not, etc. It makes things very annoying. So with luck, things will turn around so I can stay afloat a little easier than has been the case. Here's to hoping!!

Away for Awhile, but New Things Always Show Up

So a year has come and gone and still no post from me, but that is just the way of life. The time flies by as you realize another year is almost at a close. Just keeping life afloat as the kids grow up before my very eyes makes for an unbelievable shock. I cannot believe just how big my two little sillies have gotten.

Things just go along and changes are made to adjust to life in general. Writing has seemed like an afterthought and yet just finding something to mull over has been non-existent. Hopefully the fancy will strike me and the muse will come calling. Here's to hoping for something.
