No I did not do anything so bad that I had to put myself in time out. This is a good time out like the kind Mommy needs once in awhile so she does not go stir crazy with the constant demands set upon her by taking care of her family.
This is the first time I have participated in Time Out Thursday but I tell you it's gonna stick. I think about it all week and then by Thursday I have nothing to post about because I did not intentionally take 1 hour to myself.
But today is different.
And you may think I'm crazy.
Or you might just give me a pat on the back.
I am going to work today!!!!
What?
Yes.
A job.
And I am so excited it is ridiculous.
Let me explain.
As many of you might know my husband changed careers at the start of the year. And yes we are happier than you can ever imagine BUT the pay is not something to make you smile. I want to help contribute to the family in a financial way until he can start getting some overtime {and no don't think I am mean that I am waiting for my husband to work OT...he LOVES his new job and wants to work it}.
I heard of some people that started to clean houses. I made some phone calls, talked to a fellow SAHM that was doing this type of work and she loved it.
It's funny because at one time I had someone clean my house and help me out with the twins when they were newborns. I also had a three year old and just could not keep up with it all on the amount of sleep I was getting. My husband was never home due to his part in a business so we hired some help and it was the best thing I ever did. But it was hard to accept it...my pride tends to get in he way a bit. I remember cleaning before she got here to help..silly me.

I put it out there to a friend who was thinking of getting someone to come in and clean. She put it out there to someone else and boom I got a phone call, then I got another. It is the perfect job for now and I am excited for some alone time, my ipod and a tub to scrub. I think it's a good workout too..burn some calories etc. I could do lunges as I vacumn!
So there you have it. My time out today is my job and I can't wait to see how it goes.
