After researching all the best places for working moms to work and finding out there are some amazing perks being sold and more importantly, bought, I still wasn't feeling it. No matter how comfortable or profitable you make being at work, balance isn't something that takes addition, at least not for me. Apparently, it takes subtraction.
Allow me to explain, or like Enigo Montoya, (Princess Bride) would say, "no, will take too long, allow me to summarize", in the past year, I have left one job because of a lecherous corporate leader who thought drinking with him was a job requirement, and been terminated from a start up due to misjudging, and thus facebook friending, the ...can't think of a good adjective... boss.
So where to now? With a lot of work towards minimizing expenses, and a rockin' husband who I think is like my special tutor for the universe, I am not jumping into anything. Nope, that isn't true, I am starting one of those home party businesses, but that is just a little jump. I am not committing my family or my self to anything that is going to soak up too much energy for a good long time.
I am not going to close up about who I am, what makes me laugh and cry, and I am rethinking the whole paradigm for how I want to live. Being 42 is really a great place to be. Like Reba says, I might be throwing pennies into the fountain of youth, (it used to be more like twenties but I am on a budget now), but I have earned every last laugh line on my face. I am going to be working on putting more up there on my real estate and on any other faces I can.
