What a Vacation!

Hannah celebrated her 6th birthday Thursday and we had her birthday party today. I will try and load the pictures from her party over the next day or so. Friends of ours also too pictures, so, when I recieve copies of all pictures, I will download them.

This vacation so far has been anything but ordinary. We have gone from house hunting to closing on our new house in about 4 weeks and boy, are we excited! I plan on continuing with my job hunt over the course of the next week, and I'm crossing my fingers and praying that God will lead me to the job he want me to have.

In the meantime, just wanted to let you know that pictures are on the way.

The Multi-tasker Mother

Let's see how many things I can do while I type this:

*call my mom to see if she's on her way here to watch the kids so I can take hubby to work

*wake hubby up for work

*put a restless child to sleep

...all the while staying sane and muttering as few curse words under my breath as possible.



Welcome to a view of my life as Charity, CEO!



I know, catchy title, huh? I think it pretty well describes me. I am a multi-functional mother who works full time outside the home, a part time home business, I am married (5 years now) and have two children ages 3 and almost 6...



My hobbies? Hmmm...hobbies that I do are bowling once a week on a league with the hubby, reading (magazine articles and website stuff), picture taking... that's about it. I get together with friends at work and stuff, but 90% of my time is working either the FT or the PT job, or taking care of some aspect of my home be it making dinner, cleaning or my kids.

A Day in the Life of this Multi-tasker Mother is driving hubby to and from work, going to work myself, coming home, hubby going to bed (he works nights), fixing dinner, dishes, playing with the kids, answering emails, etc, and getting things ready for the next day. Days off are spent cleaning, running errands, paying bills and working my part time business. So really I don't have any days off, just hours off because I am constantly working my Avon business.

I am just trying to figure out how to juggle everything, remember everything, do everything and stay sane in the process.
