High Five for Friday: Back to Work

You know, it's a good thing, to be back at work.
My job is a gift to me.  It's a lot of work, but it's always worth it.

So here are five GREAT things about being back in the swing of shtuff. 

Linking up as usual with Lauren at From My Grey Desk!

ONE

I feel like my notebook obsession becomes more justified, somehow.

As if I journal more when I'm crazy busy.....  

It's not logical, really.  It just feels like, ok, it's back to school.  I need more notebooks. No questions.

Found this one at the dollar store, of all places.  How cute!

TWO

I actually get to put money into my bank account.  That's fun.

THREE

I learn even more-so to appreciate little *pause* moments at home with hubby.  

Because of our crazy schedules, even just eating breakfast with him is a luxury!

FOUR

I get to drive myself to work now, baby! in our wagon of glory.

Yea, I know I posted this picture last week.  But I'm just so happy about it!

I also kind of can't believe I am *already* driving a big family car.  Now to fill it with babies :)

(er, one baby at a time, preferably, please and thank-you!)

FIVE

Being self-employed means I have total control over my own holidays.  So in 6 weeks time, I'm having a little breather for a week to recharge the creative batteries.  I'm learning not to feel apologetic for needing some time off here and there.  Sometimes it's hard to stop and rest for a bit, when our culture is so fast-paced and performance driven.  But rest is just so important.

P.S.  I finally managed to figure out the whole Google Friend Connect thing 

(see sidebar widget!)  

 I would really love it if you would be my newest GFC friend :) 

I hope you are having a great week - nearly the weekend, hang in there!
