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?

So I’ve been busy lately applying to different transcription companies. Well, I’m happy to report that I now have a contract. The money is not great, but at least it’s money. And it will be an awesome way for me to gain the much needed experience that I need to start applying to other higher paying customers. So things are starting to look up. I’ll still look for other companies that may take me on, but at least for now I will have some transcription money coming in!

Seriously folks this has been such a busy week. So busy with other work that I haven’t gotten in here to post very often. And…. now it’s the weekend once again. Where does the time go? Between housework, real work and Internet work I feel like I haven’t had a break all week. And now I have to get ready to go back to work again tomorrow and Sunday. Hopefully all this work will pay off in the end. And soon I will be able to post that I have more free time to myself. I can’t see this happening any day soon, but eventually it will come.

Have a great weekend and I’ll see you all again next week!
