February is here....

Wow ~ I can't believe a month has already passed in 2010. Time has flew by. I haven't updated my blog in a month and I am sorry! Things have been crazy busy. I have hit marketing for my business head on and then...drum roll...tax time crept up. I had to get all my tax forms sent out to people that worked for me last year. Since I am a relatively small business I have to hand write them..lots of time :(

I have backed off on working so much. I have several nights a week that I am done by 5p and am able to spend with my family. That is so relaxing! Taking a ride through the country with my hubby and watching the sun go down and the deer and turkey feed...there's not much like it.

As a matter of fact, I have taken this Saturday off and we are leaving Friday night to go spend the weekend at a hotel with a swimming pool ~ FUN! That is one thing that I made my mind up I was going to do from now on...I have vacation days that I lose every year because I can't take them because we are so busy at work. I get 3 weeks of paid days off a year this year and I plan on using every last one of them.

Oh, hubby ended up not liking the furniture being rearranged so it got moved back to the same way it has been for years now...bummer! I also just now started feeling better since being sick a few days before Christmas. I don't know what got ahold of me, but it sure wiped me out! I think it was a big wake up call being so tired and stressed out. I realized I HAD to cut back on how much I was working for my health. I am going to really market and build my client base and work 100% for myself. I know in my gut I can have a very successful business...it's only a matter of finding the time to devote to it. I'm also thinking that I am going to quit at least one of my part time jobs because we have officially paid off all the doctor bills!! WooHoo!

Had a lot of drama with my oldest and her boyfriend of a year and a half breaking up. Fortunately it only lasted a day or two. I really like him and I hated to see them split. I'm just glad they got back together. They are good for each other :)

We just got done having a really big snow last Friday. It was so big that schools have been out and they are finally going back tomorrow. It was so cute watching my middle and youngest play in it out the window. There is still so much snow on the grass that I think I will go out and build a snowman with my youngest tomorrow...just because! Hubby is going fishing and the other 2 kids will be in school and it will just be me and my little man...sounds like a good afternoon!

I am just finishing up a good book and really need some suggestions on more. I love to read in bed for about 30 minutes before I go to sleep at night. It really relaxes me. Any ideas please leave me a comment or you can get in touch with me on Twitter @coffeeandpjs

I ended up about a week ago taking the girls shopping at the mall with their Christmas money since I had been so sick. There was even a few days that I took the laptop to bed to work and didn't get out of bed all day...I felt that bad.

Well, that's about all that I have to update on for now. It's not much, but like I said I have been so sick and really haven't had much going on...other than slowing down. 2010 is going to be a great year ~ I can feel it in my bones. I promise to stay in contact more with everyone on my blog :)

Grab yourself a cup of coffee, your favorite pjs, curl up on the couch and lets make the world a better place to live...one blog at a time.
