Reclamation!

Today was my last day on the day shift which means that, as of Monday, I can reclaim my life. This whole 8-5 thing is ridiculous!!! lol

What I am really excited for is the opportunity to earn an income without the majority of it going to child care costs. Having my days with the little ones is really important to me. They are growing up so fast! Bebecito is almost 2! Yea freedom!!! I can almost taste it.

Hopefully this little job of mine will get the income flowing to the point of us being able to launch Respect (my) this year as planned. Things are still going well in that department but am so ready to get it off the ground! I found out about a local blank t-shirt wholesaler that I cannot wait to go check out. I am proud of us for taking the slow and steady approach with this business instead of just maxing out all of the credit cards to make it happen. I know that when the time is right, it will take off because we have done all of this legwork on the front side, but I am also looking forward to the day when we are able to focus on our own business instead of working for someone else.

So, I guess I don't have much else to write about today. I am just encouraged that things are seeming to fall into place and I'm not forcing them to. :) My focus for the year is to be content. (Not complacent, though.) I have so many things that I am thankful for in my life that there is no reason for me to constantly be fighting for things that I think I want. This is probably how I should have always been viewing things but, better late than never I suppose. Although we don't have the money to go launch Respect (my) on the level we want it to be tomorrow, it is too important to me to risk losing it by starting out upside down. So, I am content with waiting until we can afford it without being stressed out about it. It actually feels somewhat comforting to be content in that. So this is what it feels like to be grown up.
