It's my day off!!

Can you relate? 

My alarm goes off at 4 am and I have to be to work by 5. This morning it was my chance to sleep in and the cats started before 6!

I actually had forgotten what this whole 'schedule' and working for someone else felt like.

When you work for yourself you have a little more control in your schedule and the ability to make it more comfortable.

Working for someone else ~ 

My shift now is 5 to 8 am then back at 4 to 9 pm. { 8 hour lunch } { 8 hour night sleep } - 3 days a week, then I have one day 5 to 11 am. So 4 days total a week.

The other 3 days I work for myself and my kids. My daughters mostly. I watch the kids over night for one, then all day Sunday for the other. 

In between folks stop by for some Notary signing work, and I have booked a few Simply Fun game parties and events. Seems online parties are the thing now days. And I'm looking forward to getting back into doing events with the pop up tent this summer. 

I get asked to accomplish sewing projects, making different things for specific requests.

I 'friend sit' .... plant watering, house sitting, horse sitting, cleaning, . , what ever odd job that comes along where someone needs an extra set of hands. So they can go on a 'vacation'. 

I don't really know what a vacation is and the words 'day off' get blurred and the day progresses'. 

However crazy busy it is, it's still, my DAY OFF!!!! and I don't have to 'deal with ....' ~ publicly. 

I enjoy being home, watering my plants, dusting, vacuuming, cleaning up our own mess rather than everyone elses.. It's peaceful listening to the hum of the laundry, watching the cats lounge around the house. 

I enjoy time with my horses, grooming, playing, training, riding....

Now if Spring would continue to arrive and temp. would go up! 

My next day's off will be even better. 

What does a day off look like to you?

Blessed by God
