Lifes Like That

Today was my husband’s first day back on the job since last week.  He was on vacation all last week.  When he arrived at work this morning his boss called him into the office.  He asked him if he had any vacation days left and when my husband said no, he told him he could take Thursday and Friday off of this week with pay to go spend some time with his mother.  One of the guys he worked with told his boss about how sick his mother was and how she is now in palliative care.  He also told my husband if he could spare him for the entire week he would let him off.  I thought this was so very generous of his boss and it gave me goosebumps when he told me this story.

This story is so funny, that I just had to tell you all what happened last night.  My daughter, who is 9, came running out of her room last night around 9pm to tell me that she lost a tooth.  So, I told her to put the tooth under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  After she went back in her room, my son, who is 7, comes running out of his room to ask me what day it was.  I told him that it was Sunday.  So he then asked what day it was tomorrow.  I told him it would be Monday.  He then runs back down the hallway yelling to his sister that since tomorrow is Monday the tooth fairy is not on vacation, so she will come and put money under her pillow.  (this was because the tooth fairy forgot about him on the weekend so we told him the tooth fairy doesn’t work on weekends)  And sure enough there was evidence under her pillow this morning that the tooth fairy was hard at work last night.

When I first started looking on the Internet about a year and half ago for ways to earn a little income from home, I mainly concentrated on looking for that perfect business opportunity. In the past year and half I have discovered that this was not as easy as it sounded. So, I have created an opportunity for myself and although it’s slow going at times, I have started to earn a little income from my efforts. The main thing that I discovered in all my research, was that you have to be extremely careful in your searches for anything on the Internet, but persistence and patience will pay off in the end.
