BLUH!

Well, after my little outburst in the last post I seem to have just lost my mind (even more!). It's been a crazy few weeks and I feel like I've been on the edge for a while now. I told Equinox that I was quitting and started looking for a place to train a few clients. It's been an adventure to say the least! I finally found a studio to train at, but now I have to make sure my certifications are in order, get a business license, personal liability insurance and find someone to watch my girls for a couple of days each week. I will be a private contractor and thus have to pay self employment taxes on top of it all. At Equinox I was an employee, had free childcare and didn't have to bother with the city of Pasadena except to pay my parking every month!

Why am I leaving you might ask? (Ameri has been asking that often lately) I must. Equinox and I have outgrown each other. My schedule - should I figure it out - will be much better and I'm my own boss. I can work the hours I want to without having a corporation breathing down my back to train more than is physically possible for me right now. They also take over 2/3 of what they charge my client.

Anyway, with all of that going on, trying to figure out Christmas, not having Ameri around much, blah, blah, blah . . . I've been a wee bit overwhelmed. My house is a disaster, my paperwork is scattered hither and thither and I'm lucky if my kids get fed. I guess I just needed to post not only to vent a little, but to let you all know that someone else out there goes through it too, or, if your life is running smoothly right now, to help you be thankful for the smooth roads in life's journey. Here's to bumpy roads making the smooth ones sweet!
