Another Day Another Dollar

I swear that the world of freelance writing is a constant roller coaster of highs and lows. So the good news is that I finally got paid for my outstanding jobs--yeah! The not so great news it that I'm in a holding pattern for some of my new jobs that looked so promising. I swore to myself that I would try to be positive this week and keep reminding myself how lucky I am rather than play the "poor me" game.

Looking at Faith crawl quickly across the floor is always a great motivation to smile. I can hardly believe that my little baby girl is going to be nine months tomorrow! I feel like it was just yesterday that we brought her home from the hospital. Sure it's cliche and you hear everybody say that, but seriously where does the time go?

It's amazing at how much my life has changed and how happy I am with it! I went from being a cog in the corporate community and lunches out all the time to being my own boss and taking more joy in sharing lunch with my baby than anything else in the world. I always tell her that she is my favorite person to hang out with in the whole world--this along with everything these days seems to make her laugh.

She did have a drama queen moment today when she got her first installment of her flu shot. We're hoping that this won't be as bad as her regular immunizations--mommy and Faith have a full week of playdates and activities. Not to mention mommy needs to drum up some more work!

So another day, fortunately another dollar. Next time I hope to report that I have landed some very promising long term assignments.
