I can't remember if I've mentioned this or not, but I started a little business. In my previous life before SAHM-dom, I did accounting for several small businesses. It can be a tricky sitch when working for small companies because they don't exactly always have money. There's some money juggling that goes on sometimes and a small business owner is way more vested in the company than say, a CEO of a large company that has plenty of moula to throw around.

But anyway, I just happen to have a connection with a group of small businesses and was able to take on 4 of them to do their books. This basically means I am watching their bank accounts, paying their bills, and preparing financial statements each month. The extra money has been great but the extra stress has NOT. L always wants to be on my lap, banging on the keyboard or throwing the mouse. I feel bad if I have to ignore him and I just haven't been able to get all my work done during his nap times only.

Well just this weekend, 2 more of these little companies asked me if I would start doing their books as well. Of course I want to because this is all work I can do from home, and extra money for my vacation fund. I talked to the hubs and we decided I should hire an assistant to help me.

And then I thought about that some more. So I have an assistant that I have to put a lot of trust into, and pray they don't fuck up. I'm pretty much going to have to double check shit because I'm anal and I want the companies' payrolls to clear and their power to stay on. And I'll be the one answering to these people, not my assistant.

So instead... I decided to hire a part time nanny! How fucking genius am I??? I am working from home so I will still be there to make sure nanny isn't beating/poisoning my children, but I can also lock myself in my office and get some work done. Plus after baby girl is born, I can also be there for feedings, naps, etc. AND AND AND I can run errands or go to the mother fucking GYM if I want to.

I want to be thorough about the nanny search so I am looking for someone to start mid-August so I have lots of time for interviews, background checks, and general stalking. In the meantime, my neighbor has a 13 year old that I thought might like to do it for the rest of the summer. I asked her today and she is way excited and wants to start tomorrow. So she will be coming 4-5 hours a day, twice a week.

I'm so happy I could pee a little.
