work
Christmas is almost here, which means two things. A wonderful holiday weekend is just around the corner. And full-time work is just around the next corner.

I'm kinda freaking out. I can't imagine doing everything I already do, and working full-time on top of that. The only thing that is keeping me sane, is that it's only temporary - 12 weeks tops. But I'm also thinking I should hire some part-time help for the jobsite, so I won't get overwhelmed. Anyone like cleaning? It will be hours of fun and laughter, I promise. Oh and did I mention, flexible hours? And only 1 or 2 days a week. Temptimg, isn't it.

So, in my head I am making lists of ideas to make life easier as I head into the "working mom" position. Here are my ideas thus far:

-Prepare lunches the night before

-Throw random things in the crockpot before work, so dinner is ready when we get home

-Clean and tidy every evening before bed.

-Do Laundry on the weekends

-Ask Nich to do some chores around the house (but not laundry, because so far his track record consists of: shrinking our shower curtain to half its size, shrinking at least 4 of my shirts, and of course, mixing darks and whites)

I still haven't figured out when I will be doing the budget, paying bills, oh and of course, bookkeeping for the companies I take care of. I have a feeling I will need to start pushing back my bedtime to midnight.

    Oh the joys of a working mom! Yes, good think it's only 12 weeks, you'd probably go nuts if it was longer! I go nuts and I only work 3 days a week. Good luck though!

    awwww...I'm sure you'll be able to handle it. Knowing its only for 12 weeks ( a definite end in site) should help. Good luck with everything!
