Wow! So this is what I have been up to. I am kind of wrapping up Ebay sales until spring/summer. I have been going strong at it for some months now. I am the "silver" level in the power seller program. I don't know how people are able to get past silver without running themselves into the grave with work. Just the little bit that I have sold is almost non-stop work: buying the items, taking pictures, listing the products, keep listing the products, send invoices, pack and ship the products... Whew!!! Now it is off season, but I am always looking for something that might sell. Even though I only have 75 items listed now, I could find something that sells any day now, and I will have to jump on it.
Now, as for the other stuff I have been up to, besides taking care of my girls... I had an opportunity to put in for a special assignment through one of the mystery shopping companies that I work with. The assignment is a 2 year contract to do audits. Each audit takes 2 full days to complete. I was able to get 2 assignments for this month (so 4 days). That means that I have to find a sitter for those days. Luckily, we have great family and friends!!! Morgan and Jaden stayed with their cousins on Thursday (Andrea & Patrice). They had so much fun, and they didn't even care that I left. It made it easier to work knowing that I didn't have to worry about them. On Friday, Grandma Leslie came to our house. When I got home from work, the girls were actually MAD at me for coming home!!! They wanted Grandma to take them bike riding. So, I guess I don't have to worry about them missing me!
The audits are intense. It is 35 pages of instructions, and 45 pages to fill out!!! After the second day, I had to get on the computer immediately to report the data. That took another 2 hours!! I was so exhausted, but I think it will get easier with practice. I love the fact that I have these kinds of opportunities, and I hope I can find more of them. This will be steady work for at least 2 years. I already put in for 2 more of the assignments, so we'll see.
