This weekend was my first weekend off from my outside job and let me tell you all, that I *almost* wished that I had of been working. Because I gave up the weekend shifts at my job, I decided to pick up some extra income on the Internet to replace my income. Well I spent the entire weekend (10 hour days) doing general transcription on my computer. It really wasn’t a fun weekend for me or my family. Yes, I would like to earn this extra income at home, but I honestly can’t put in another weekend like I just did. So I’m just going to have to try to work things out a little better next time.

This past weekend was my final weekend of working at my outside job. I will still be working there during the week for a few hours, but as of yesterday, I won’t be working weekends any longer. I have to tell you all that I was quite surprised at how quiet the weekend was. I was able to leave my shift early both days since the restaurant was so quite. I was pretty happy about this actually. So…. the weekends are now my own. I wonder how I’ll fill them?

For the past couple of days I have been busy sewing fabric bags. A couple of my online friends make these types of crafts and after looking at their pictures, I decided that it was time for me to try my hand at it. I have been having a blast making my own creations that I really haven’t done anything else. Once I get a few made, I will post some pics for you guys to check out. Eventually I will be selling them, but not until I get a craft website up and running once again. But for now, I’m having a blast making them. Hopefully I can create a few more this coming week.

Holy smokes I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve been in here to post. Well let me tell you all what I’ve been up to. Last week the kids had a couple of days off due to snow days and my youngest son was home the rest of the week because he was sick. So… I really didn’t have a lot of extra time on my hands to do a lot of things. Then I was contacted by a previous company that I did transcription work for to do some transcription work for them, and that took care of the rest of the week. And of course I still had to work at my outside job.

But this week looks a little better for extra time for me. I do have quite a bit of running around today, and lots of housework, but nothing else lined up so far. So hopefully I’ll get to blog a little bit more this week.

I’m not lost, just busy I promise! Don’t you just hate it when real life gets in the way?
