Opportunity is knocking!


I have always have had these great opportunities for making money. They just sort of fall at my feet. PTL! But I have to think... can I do this? My latest opportunity is this. Since I served at this funeral home last week the owner of the home has called and wants to hire me to serve another smaller funeral of say 30 to 35 people. Can I balance all that I am doing now with this coming opportunity? So, I told two girlfriends if they would like to do it it's theirs. But now they don't know if they can do it either. I am waiting to here if they can do it because they are busy young mothers already working part time jobs themselves. I told them I would buy all the food and they could do the prep here at my house on Saturday morning. They would serve and clean up. I would take a cut of the action and I would hire them to do the job. This sounds good to me. God please help me not to go over my head. Please help me in what to charge and to pay. Goodness this could be complex.
Just got a call and the other ladies CAN NOT do it. Hmmmmm... do I take the job or not? Would pay for the track star son's new running shoes! What to do? I will let you know later.

My busy days


Life is rushing by at a fast pace. Some days I can't keep up with all that I am doing. Just since last Thursday.
1. I headed up the food and all prep for a funeral from my church. Took almost 2.5 days to get organized.
2. Last Friday I worked all day at my insurance office.
3. Saturday was catching up on errands, making two food items to bring to my nieces 38Th b-day party, and scrapping on my kitchen back splash disaster.
4. Sunday was church. We have two services and my hubby spends most of the day busy with church stuff and a jail ministry.
5. Monday noon was an important endorsing convention 70 miles away, then a work meeting for a client whose husband just died at 4, and then 7 was a board meeting for our local pregnancy (pro-life) center!
6. Today, Tuesday was spent working all morning, buying $100 shoes for my track star son, a church ladies planning meeting at 3:30 pm, and meeting with a group plan client at 7 pm...

and now here I sit writing this like I have all the time in the world. Yes, I think I am nuts!!

Each one of these days deserves a good writing story about each one... like serving food at the funeral with the casket on the other side of the room. Really!
