As always my quest is to make every experience a learning experience, no matter how painful, awful, discouraging, hurtful, or alarming the experience may be. I now have a full time job which does not please my entrepreneurial spirit but is nonetheless necessary and I am grateful for the money it is providing me.
Remember how I asked for a personal assistant position? Well, even though that is not my job title, my duties are very much like a personal assistant. I am working for a company called MVP which stands for Multi Visual Products. We take the digital photos from school and sport photographers from all over the United States and create fun products like trading cards, christmas ornaments, plaques, wheaties boxes, magazine covers and magnets, etc... Imagine kids all over the country getting their pictures taken, and we are the people who process those orders...ummm, YIKES! The sports and school photo season lasts from September through November and we will process over 200,000 packages in that time frame (not individuals, entire packages)! I am currently working in packaging, and have moved to different departments all week learning data entry and inspection. It is quiet there, everyone is very efficient, all the departments help each other. So far it is not stressful, and the work environment is low key. My understanding is that all of that will change in the next two weeks.
I still have my winery job, so that means I am putting in a 7 day work week. This does throw off my balance quite a bit, but I feel it is necessary to get as much income flowing as possible at this point. The new job is only seasonal at this point, it is not permanent, but I will know more about that once the season changes. I will either be dismissed until next season or I will be offered a fulltime position with the company.
Finding balance. Well, that is a tough one...however I think I can manage it. I am still online after work, my kids are learning to do chores around the house such as laundry and feeding animals, I still practice my music, and make sure I get plenty of sleep. My diet is not fantastic and it is hard to keep up with my supplements and my water intake, but I will work on that too.
My goal in the next two weeks is to send thank you cards to all my supportive friends who have been praying for me and helping me bring in income over the past few months. I absolutely have the most supportive and loving friends on the planet, and I want them to know my gratitude.
OK, off to work! Love to all! :)

Good luck, Lisa. You have a real juggling act going, but I know you can handle it.
