I really love this time of year. The nights are still cool and the days are starting to warm up without being too hot.
Now that I've been home for 1 week now, I've become very bored. I really need a job to keep me going. I feel motivated when I have to be accountable to a schedule. I'm about to go stir crazy. I am a procrastinator and schedules really work well for me.
Maybe something will open up pretty soon. If not, then I will become the next "Desperate Housewife". LOL
I have a ton of pictures to post.....I will get those up tomorrow while the kids are at school.
Hope you're wearing GREEN . If you forgot then I hope you didn't get pinched too hard! LOL
Have a great day!

A break from work
Today, I was informed that our company was closing at 6pm for good......really no prior warning other than a gut feeling. Funny how a company is there one day and completely closed the next. I guess I am still shocked that a place that I spent 65 hours a week is now gone forever. I am totally looking forward to a break from work. I was offered another job that I am considering but not ready for the commitment just yet. I need to be a Stay at home mom for awhile to make up the time away from my kids. I am a tad bit angry but I'm more angry at myself. I have some serious making up to do. * I know I can't take back anything*
I have learned a few lessons about work::
1. NEVER put a job ahead of your kids.
2. NEVER commit to so many hours a week.
3. Money IS NOT everything.
4. You're never guaranteed another paycheck
5. Your work and character is valued very little, only thing that is important is the bottom dollar for the boss. Respect isn't earned or awarded with most people.
6. If you live wrong and do corrupt things, IT WILL catch up with you. (not talking about me)
7. No one is looking out for the well being of anyone other than themselves.
I could go on and on with the things that I have learned but these are the things that I think are important.
I can't go back and fix the 2.5 years that I lost with my kids. I CAN however, learn from it and not make the same mistake twice.
With this post, I am forgetting about work, job hunting, and the daily stress of numbers, profits, and losses. I will survive and I am thankful that hubby has a great job that isn't threatened by the economy. I really loved just getting out and making my own living, something that I really haven't done in the past. Anywho, Scrapbooking here I come!
Have a wonderful week.....mine looks like a lot of R&R. WOO HOO!
