Family Business=Always Working

Oh, is it that early?
Don't you hate it when someone calls and wakes you up because they didn't realize what time it is? My dad called this morning at 6:40 a.m. to discuss what I would talk about on the radio (I do a live ad on Thursday mornings). I should also mention that I usually get up at 7 a.m. See the problem? He thought I got up earlier. Anyway, it got the day off to a rough start.

And then...
I get to work and my mother "suggests" that I go home this afternoon and change into some grungy clothes so that we can work late rearranging some fixtures. Sure, I can do that. Really, I don't mind. I'm salaried, not hourly, so I know that they get the short end of the stick sometimes. At 9:30 p.m., I threw in the towel. If you consider 6:40 a.m. when I started working this morning, then I put in an almost 15 hour day. Whew, they won today. We had a lot of fun though.

Not a good domestic engineer
I tried being a stay at home mom for almost 2 years. I stunk at it. I was always bored, Olivia was always bored, and the house could only get so clean. None of my friends had kids yet, so I didn't have anyone to hang out with. I divided my time between shopping and hanging out at mom and dad's store. Therefore, I went to work there eventually and brought Olivia with me. She has her own playroom attached to the offices and it couldn't have worked out better. I am so blessed to have such understanding parents who have tried so hard to make my life easier.

Well, I'm rambling (could it be the 15 hour work day), so I will holla at you guys later.
