    Default I started to work one day a week!

    I work on Tuesdays from 10 am to 4 pm at my friend's bread outlet! For those who remember, way back when I said I found a bread outlet? Well, my friend bought the buissness! And she was tired of working 6 days a week, so she offered me a day a week.

    At first I refused, because I am sooo busy with my 4 boys and my intellectually handicapped aunt, but she kept asking me every week...then one day, when I was feeling down and tired of devoting ALL my time to my family, I thought it would be nice to go *relax* at work! lol It's a small place and tuesdays are the slowest days.........AND she gives me bread and cakes for free!!!! PLus the 7 $/hour pay! Isn't great!

    So that's that for me!

    Good for you, having a little time away from your family to destress, make a little cash and get free stuff is great! You know what they saw if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

    Simplemom, I work 9-12 hours a week and it is wonderful. It's just enough to get me out of the house, but not enough that I take away from my family. I "relax" at work too, lol. Congrats!

    Lucie, that sounds wonderful. I sounds like you have a lot going on at home, so it might be fun just to get away from the house to go to work once a week.
