Work.....

.....something else to be thankful for....

at the beginning of the year I took on a second job, my hours at work kept getting cut, and my brother's business needed an assistant to the assistant...  ;)  So I stated helping/working a few hours a week at first....  And in the last few months it's been more like 2 full days, and a few more hours here and there....  :) 

I feel like it is one of the best decisions I have made in a long time...  It allows for me to spend more time with my mom, she's the "assistant" to the "boss"! ;) Who am I kidding?  she basically runs the whole operation, well the paperwork/invoice/payroll part anyway, and now I help her! 

It has allowed for me to save more money, and it allowed me to distance/throw myself into something new at a point in my life when I felt like I was losing control.  And by losing control I really mean losing control of EVERYTHING!  I have a lot to be thankful for this past year, and my 2nd job is definitely one of them, it saved me from "myself" and for that I will always be grateful!  And it's helping to get me to the "next step.."  ;)

Sooooo....  Every tuesday, and thursday, unless I have to work at the Big A, I start my day like this...  ;)

With a full cup of coffee in my favorite Snowman mug!! :) Ready to start on those famous invoices, scheduling, billing, or payroll business that awaits me!!  ;)

AND, on some days I get to look out the window, and enjoy a beautiful blue sky FULL of BIG FLUFFY CLOUDS...  This is one of my favorite things....  :) 



...AND a few hours could go by and the sky could inevitably turn into this....

...YEP...  those are rain clouds you see...  Gotta LOVE Southern California Weather...  :)
