Well let us see how last night went shall we?

I was trying to get this blog in some kinda order after changing hosts. I have a temporary Wordpress Theme up, but I like how it’s situated. Just not the colors or lack thereof. But, when I went to have fun and change stuff around the most HUGEST (is that a word?) headache hit like a ton of bricks. Oh my goodness. Then, it was so bad I felt sick. So, off the computer I went and straight to bed.

Then, the hubby comes home – bless his heart. Dotting all over me and taking care of me like the wonderful hubby he is. We watched Ghost Whisperer Season Two Disc Two – one or two episodes and I was done. I had a pounding headache and felt like crud.

Then, we got into an argument. A new one? No… more of the same thing. It didn’t end well so this morning I got on the phone and told him I was sorry. Lordy. Lordy. Being married means so many things, but one thing it means is ya can’t get away from them. LOL So you better make up.

Making up is fun actually. He’s been so wonderful lately, I guess feeling sick mixed with other stuff just set me off. No bigge – we *kissed* and made up so to speak.

It’s been rough here. He’s working so hard and my client base has dwindled due to so many things. So I’m barely making it financially. Which means, he’s doing all the work. I’m at home taking care of the house, making sure my kids get all their school stuff done, and working on the clients I have left – ’cause I love them and am very grateful to have them.

My kids are both in Independent Study now. It’s like homeschooling really. I have their schedule every day of what they need to do, I meet with their teacher once a week to get more work for them and turn in their assignments (rather, they do that – I take notes). BUT their report cards came in! WOW! It’s the biggest improvement I’ve ever seen from them. They are so proud! So is this momma.

So my husband is working away while I’m doing all of these things that are important – but, what happened to me holding my own financially? I was the sole supporter for over 10 years now I’m home? It’s a huge adjustment.

I’m starting school on the 20th of this month. I’m almost embarassed to say what for ’cause I’ve been laughed at a few times. But I’ll say it here – and let me be very clear this is what I had wanted since I was young, but babies etc. well… you know what happens to plans when you have the little ones. Okay, my major is Physics. Yes, laugh all ya want. Who knows I could change my mind. I’m already an Accountant, this would be a complete career change that will take YEARS to get to. But there are some really neat opportunities just in the first year of being an undergraduate! No laughing… okay, you can laugh. We’ll see how far this goes, but at least I can go for it!

In February I’ll be 41 years old/young. I’m so extremely excited about my 40s! It’s me time after my Stephen is graduated in June of 2010. That’s not that far away. Jimmy goes into the USMC on June 14th, and my daughter is already out and on her own. I do have my Step Son Daniel that will be 14 (OMG!) on the 11th of this month, but his momma does all the hard work with him. I just get to love him to death when we get him. So I’m almost done… wow.

Many things are going on now in my life – I just want to be sure I enjoy ever moment of it you know?

Wow, life is Grand!

Yes, we have alot of last names in the house.  Two are Nichols, two are Ford and two are Sharp.  Hey, I haven’t exactly changed my last name yet.  I will though… don’t you fret!

Now, on to the fun at the house!

First, my three kids thought it would be great to take a photo for me and I was so excited to get it!  They used my camera and a tri-pod and even got Indy to look at the camera by throwing something in the direction of the tri-pod!  LOL  They did great!

L – R

Jessica (19), James (18), Indy (10 mos), Stephen (16)

My babies.

Missing is my step-son, he wasn’t there that day.  So they are going to take more photos with the blonde child (my only blonde kid – my step-son)!

That night we had a major blast playing Cherades (hm, spelled right?) and that was beyond halarious.

Tonight, Ice Cream social.  I know it’s cold, but who could turn down ice cream?!

OH!  I bought a new phone!  The Google Android G1 thingy!  I was a BlackBerry die hard for 3 years, and just went to the T-Mobile G1.  GREAT so far!

I’m gonna get back on after the ice cream and answe comments ’cause I just love you all so!

Love and Light

About two years ago I was told by a “doc” that after the test I took, I obviously have ADD. I don’t believe in “classifications” from our doctors. Not for mental, or neurological issues. So I’ll just say, I get really going on something, then drop it like it’s hot. Hey, that’s a song!

I’ve never fully dropped this blog. I’ve written since 2005, but have moved my blog from platform to platform settling on WP for awhile now. Still, it’s been three years and I haven’t dropped it.

I purchased a German Shepard puppy – Indy – ’cause I was really excited to do canine search and rescue. Well, the little guy has “pano” and working him with limping this bad isn’t such a bright idea. So that’s on hold.

I’ve been an accountant in one form or another from clerk to CFO to now consultant, my own company. I’ve done the same thing since I was 17. So that’s 23 years. So that’s steady.

Somehow I got into database maintenance for a company, and have done that for 2 years now. Web maintenance for about two years as well.

What did I WANT to be when I grew up? Well, besides U.S. Air Force career that went down the tubes before actually leaving for boot camp – Engineering/Mathematics/Physics was where I wanted to be. Why? The hecks if I know! But, one of those was something I would have LOVED to get into.

Alas – single mom for 10 years, you don’t just change careers. Now I’m married… but…

I’m really at a point where I’m bored. I’ve lost my largest client – rather, they WAY cut hours so I’m not doing well financially. Hey, that’s the sound from alot of folks now adays. Daniel’s business is always fine.

What should I do? I’m 40 is that too late to abruptly change career paths? I mean abruptly. Go to school, get another degree… that kinda thing.

I’m bored and not making $$$.

Maybe a teacher? I don’t know…. scientist? Can you really start stuff like that at 40? I love math… history… I just signed up for my first class at college in a few years it seems. Some funky pre-requisite class but I noticed my major was Physics… from 1994! I hadn’t been there in awhile. LOL Why did I quit that? OH yeah… divorce…

ARGH!

Oh yeah, the reference to ADD is ’cause hobby wise I pick something up, get excited and drop drop drop.  argh

This is our new first family.

I did vote for the other guy, let’s be clear on that one.  However, I’m truly excited about this Presidency.

I wasn’t excited until today.

I was listening to the BBC World News and heard some of the most amazing things!  Folks outside of the U.S. are excited about this President.  I even heard “We want to love America again”.

Wow!

I don’t really see this about the man, Barack Obama.  I see this as the world wanting to move closer together.  Oh I do hope and pray that is true.

As a McCain supporter I can say – WOW he ran an awesome election.  Kudos to everyone that supported President Elect Obama and those that were a part of this historical campaign.  Wow.

It’s really really beautiful to see and to hear so many folks so excited about the future.

Absolutely Beautiful.

From a McCain supporter to our New President Elect Barack Obama – Congratulations!  Please, assist this country and those in the world that are clinging to the thought of change and hope.  Bless his family for everything they’ve gone through.  I’m sure his Grandmother who passed away before the election is watching over them all.

I haven’t said much on my site about this election because to be honest, there was so much hate on both sides I was hearing I couldn’t stomach it on my site.  Now it’s over, and our country is in need of coming together and healing.

I for one am excited that there are those so absolutely abounding in joy.  I saw so many crying and holding their hearts when they heard.  I think this is truly assisting in healing some very old wounds.

Yeah!!

Love and Light fellow United States citizens, and fellow Earth citizens.  I just loves you all.

So, I’ve been workin’ on my company’s website AND location this past few days.

First, my website:  www.zyconsulting.com let me know what you think!  I’m going to start networking, joining the chamber of commerce, advertising etc. and I thought I’d better have a website!  It’s a company site runnin’ on Wordpress.  Hey, it works!

So, next is another super UBER excitement – I am leasing an office for my company!  No more home office for me. My husband and I shared an office in a local city until I had a seizure and they took my license.  argh – but I’ve been driving now since February and no issues, so it’s time to move into my own office and look professional. 

Meanwhile, I got the lease tonight and read through – ’cause that’s what I do.  I read legal docs… I’m an accountant, what can I say?

Low and behold, on line 12 -

I emailed back and said I would look at it in the morning, but that #12 caught my eye and gave me a good laugh. 

Herumph.

The landlord is actually leasing me an office in his own building.  They are a mortgage firm and well, they have an extra office.  He’s a kick.  Great sense of humor as you can see!

If you do check out my company’s site let me know what you think!

Love and Light,
