Jeez...

This past week has just flown by... updates:

Moving: Tommy, the boys and I moved to the other house on the campground this weekend. It's about the same size, maybe a little smaller, but with a better layout and without all the campground stuff taking up two rooms (by campground stuff, I mean 1 computer and alllll my craft Sh-tuff) it feels like we are more spread out... not living right on top of one another. I think that I get very selfish about my space when I am living with someone, even my sisters. I'm hoping that this makes life a little less tense for everyone. It's not fair expecting a 10 and 12 year old to be quiet and leave me alone. :) I remember feeling very entitled to go into their (my sisters', not the boys') rooms and get whatever I wanted (usually fingernail polish believe it or not) but do not want people touching my stuff!!! :)





<---BRAT!




Work at the Campground: really the same - pretty durn slow - the only difference is now that I am moved (one house north of the campground) I have to 'go' to work. That's ok - because it gives me some separation between home/work. Ya see - it's nice to work from home.. as long as once you are home - work ends. During the winter, this isn't as big a deal, but in the summer time - even if the office is closed, people will come just to say hi or to ask about something going on in town and as much as I hate to sound negative, when the office has been open from 10-7 at 7:01 PM I am usually running out the door because I don't want to be bugged. The last 2 summers I would walk all over town (mainly because I didn't have any friends) starting at 7:01 to just be away from the campground. I'm hoping to avoid that desperate feeling. Plus - living with Tommy and the boys - this will give them some room to be without bugging me at work. The final benefit is the daycare... which brings me to the next update.

Daycare Center: My friend Jenny and I have been working towards opening a daycare and it looks like within the next couple of weeks we will be there! I'm pretty excited about this. We will be using the now empty (and soon to be clean) living areas of the campground house/office building. The benefit of this is that when I am at the campground, I am also at the daycare. I can be doing both at once with out having to shirk too many responsibilities. I certainly won't be able to mow and stuff during the day, but that to me is ok - I will happily mow on the weekends and evenings. Things are falling into place - we have to have a parent meeting (reminds me: call the paper and place and ad) and have an orientation training given by the state, but then we are on like Donkey Kong. Obviously, I will be working at it only when I'm not at the tax joint. Which brings us...

Working at the Tax Joint: (You may have noticed I am vague about the place and I won't be naming names - mostly this has to do with the fact that I may say some un-nice things - and I don't want the folks there googling me and finding this blog. Do I have an ego? Yes.) Mostly good stuff- right now pretty boring - haven't actually done any tax returns - although people are starting to get their W-2s, so be watching your mail. I have watched a couple and have placed a ton of sticky labels on paperwork. Berry Berry Boring. I'm anxious to do my first client interview and tax return because I learn best by doing - and all the examples they gave us in tax class were 'best case scenarios'... and if you are like me and learn by doing you understand that watching is boring and doesn't sink it in.

Anyway - this past week, I've been really busy. I'm hoping to do updates more often - sorry so quiet from this end!
