Pulling the plug

Jan 8, 2015 
It's a day 
For some just a day 
It's Friday 
It may be your birthday 
For me, it's a big day. 

I've never wanted a career.  I always thought I would be a stay at home mom. Id have side projects. But i just never saw myself as a career woman.  

As I grew older and life happened, I got jobs. And more jobs. And more. One day eventually my full world was wrapped around working, yep I buried my personal life issues in work.  I was stuck and there was no plan or hope in sight of getting off that crazy train

Eventually, as in about 5 years ago, I realized I had some issues. And decided to change things.  

I've been collecting jobs since I was 15. I've been a landscaper, professional produce picker, dog walker, commercial cleaner, ice cream scooper, waitress, cashier, gas attendant, house sitter, sandwich artist, kitchen assistant, sales agent, sales rep, sales consultant, telemarketer, office assistant, tech support, trade broker, office administrator, manager, parts person, and  finally office manager. Whew. 
No wonder I'm tired. 

As of January 8, 2015, I will finally be a stay at home step mom and in home wife. 
I'm excited. 
Kendall is looking forward to being organized. 
Jocelyn wants to play barbies. 

I'm going to clean the house on a week day.  

Personally, I'm proud of how far I have come.  To needling to be overworked to be ok to now. And to be happy with who I am. Just as I am. 
The last 5 years were filled with the worst times and best times of my life.  

And I'm so happy to finally be moving on in life. Officially unstuck.  

Thank you Jesus.

Respect

It's truly amazing how far one would stoop, just because you get lip service and flattery. 
Amazing how the laziest, most conniving, back stabbing and plain old selfish people can still get somewhere in life when they butter up the right person.  
Respect officially lost.
