Goodbye to Me Time
There is a lot on the financial plate coming up. The decision to send LatteGirl to private school is going to set us back to the tune of $4K per year. Then there is the planned trip to Disney World in the spring. Of course, we lucked out last winter but to say that with oil prices where they are winter has me scared would be an understatement.
So, I did the only thing I could and took on a second client. The timing is pretty good because my current primary client is dragging their collective heels in funding the project and dragging things out. So, I worked out a deal to telecommute to client one and work “as needed” while taking on client 2. Oh, and Client 2 will be adding a couple of hours of commute time to my day.
That means I will be spending about 12 hours a day with client 2, between work and commute, to come home, spend some time with LatteGirl, and once she is in bed, logging in and working on tasks for Client 1. But I see no reason I can’t get a solid 3 to 5 hours sleep a night. So everything should be fine right?

$4,000 = bargain, but, I ‘ll bet that doesn’t help much, huh?
I would give up the Disney vacation in exchange for getting to sleep next to my husband every night.
What I’ve found about private school is that the tuition is only the beginning. The other expenses–like lunches and field trips and class shirts and I don’t know what else–add up so darn fast.
