*THANKFUL* twelve

I am Thankful for my job!

I was a mommy housewife for over 20 years. I loved that and never thought I'd want to go back to work. In fact I did not want to go to work but financially I needed to. I found several part time jobs close to home. At first I worked for a post office type place, like Mail Boxes etc, but not. Almost a year there. Then the dear owner sold and the new owners were not. Dear that is. So a few doors down is this coffee shop, like a Starbucks with food. Ice cream too! I worked there for several months until the owner folded. Not able to pay the bills or me he struggled to sell it, and did.

While there I began talking with another shop owner. He would come in for coffee every morning. He had a bookkeeper that was giving him trouble. She had a lot of problems and would not show up for work, she finally quit altogether. I told him that this ship was sinking and that I had worked as a bookkeeper before I had kids, maybe I could help him out.

When the coffee shop died I began working at the real estate office, as a bookkeeper for his property management.

I really really love it. So much so that I have gone on to become a real estate sales agent.

Do I miss being a stay at home mommy?

Yes I do. I still would love to stay home, cook more, quilt more, have more dogs.

But I really love this job. I'm happy.
