Okay, so here is my news. In 2 weeks I will be trading in my handcuffs for yoga pants! That is right, I am going to become a Work at Home Mom! I am so excited! For those of you who have been following me on facebook and my blog here know that it was my biggest goal!
So, I am turning in the duty boots, the BDU pants, the handcuffs and going to be blogging and working my Shaklee business. In the past year we were able to pay off over 26k in debt that were my student loans, and our vehicle. We are now in a place where I can just work from home and I am so excited. Nervous but excited! :) I was in my job field for 6 years and leaving that is foreign to me because I really loved that job. Of course nothing beats being at home with my kiddos and still making the same amount of money!!
So everyday is casual Friday! ha! Yoga pants and hair in a pony tail if I want. No more 12 hour night shifts that leave me exhausted and physically sick. No more driving to work in the snow. No more worrying about my kids when I am at work. I am just so excited!!!!! Can you tell? :) haha
So this is my vision. Me, my laptop and my kiddos. Yay!!!!! No more paying $150 a month in gas for just me to go to work. No more daycare!!! No more. I don't even know what to do. I think I am jumping out of my skin with excitement!! :) Now I am sure not everyday will be my vision. I know it will be tough some days being home full time. But that is why I am still working my business and will be able to take trips, have meetings, etc. Next month I am going on a business trip to Long beach, California! :) So those little getaways will be fun!
So, do you have any advice for me on survival? Tips of the trade! :)
That is so exciting! You have been working hard and setting a great example for the rest of us! :) Can't wait until I can post the same thing some day! Way to go!
