The Start of Something New (Kinda)

For the past two-plus years, I've enjoyed making a quip that I'm a REAL housewife of Orange County. Trust me, my life is nothing like what you see in the TV show (although I was once invited to a Botox party - I kid you not!), but it was a fun thing to say. I've enjoyed (almost) every minute of being a true stay-at-home mom, but for a variety of reasons, the time has come for me to return to the working world. How fortuitous for me that the week before our trip to the east coast, my former company called to see if I'd be available and interested in working with them again! Terms were agreed to, detailed worked out, and I had my first call to start getting up to speed today. I'll be doing what I enjoy (recruiting), and I'll get to do it from home. No nasty commutes, and I'll be able to have Molly keeping my feet warm while I work. It doesn't get much better than that. Oh, and getting a paycheck again will be nice too! I think my biggest challenge will be taking pictures regularly (and soccer games don't count). I'll find a way!

  2. Getting to work from home is a win-win. I do some contract work from home, but it is not even remotely consistent and sometimes a more regular paycheck would be nice. Who am I kidding - all the time it would be nice to have a regular paycheck again. Congratulations on your new stage in life.
