Mommy Gets a Break



It is hard to get things done at the house with 2 little girls running around. It is a good situation to be in because I love them to pieces... BUT, I can do things 10 times faster if they are out of the house. Grandma Leslie agreed to watch them for a few hours on Wednesday. I dropped them off around 10:00 ish, and picked them up at 3:30 ish. That gave me 4 hours (taking out driving time).

I had work to do:

1. I updated my resume to include the non-profit work I have been doing. This would open up more employment opportunities for me- I am looking for something I can do in the evenings (after 5 PM) & on the weekends.

2. I applied for jobs that fit into the schedule I am looking for & in the non-profit sector

3. I worked on updating my Ebay store with more items.

4. I packed up the sales I made on Ebay.

5. I added books to my half.com seller account.

That was it, my 4 hours were up- I headed back to Grandma Leslie's house to pick up the girls. When I pulled up in the car, the girls looked like they are in the pictures above. Everyone was outside. Jaden was pushing "her" baby Paige in the stroller, and Morgan and James were blowing bubbles. Such a sweet picture!

I was so happy to have that time to get the things done while the girls had fun!!! Thanks, Mom!
