I have a job....................
You are my friends. I know you will understand.
But when you run a business through your home ... many don't think you are working. You are just goofing off. Lounging around. Eating bon-bons. Its not an important job.
It may not be a fancy job. I don't wear designer clothes. Or drive a new SUV.
But I do work........at home. MY HOME ....not a park.
I plant flowers.
I dig weeds.
I gather eggs.
I knit scarves.
I keep kittens safe and chicks warm.
I make jam.
I wash tablecloths.
I teach classes.
I clean the bathroom.
I pay the insurance.
I plan the gardens.
I design the website.
I write this blog.
I embroider tea towels.
I attend meetings.
I hang signs.
I spin yarn.
I spread manure.
I answer questions.
I harvest herbs and veggies and put them up for the winter.
And I give thanks to God for the strength and the health to do it.
And I as much as I love doing it .... it all takes money. A lot more than you think. (Except spreading the manure stuff ..... that shit just seems to appear!)
I do it for a reason.
To pay for my 13 year old car.... my 120 year old house. To put groceries on the table and propane in the tank. To buy feed for the chicken coop and cat food on the porch.
To make a living.
Call me mercenary .......

Oh wait, I like Renegades! Keep on keeping on--it's a long tough road if you aren't "corporate" but this country was founded on small independent business owners and farmers! We love you. I just hope people really understand how hard it is to do what you do!
I wouldn't trade what I do for the best corporate job out there....but I sure would like for some Corp. to pay for my Health Insurance....better stop or I'm going to get on a rant!
Have a WONDERFUL day!
Sandy -- I would love the milk jugs! Any and all ... just make sure to give them an extra good rinsing...
Hope to see you all soon!
You go girl.
