It's Back To Work

It's hard to believe that my little one is already 9 months old. And already walking at that! Life has been a huge whirlwind of activity and my once little, tiny, kid is, well, still tiny but he is growing and exploring and becoming more and more independent every day. He loves to learn new things and is very determined to master each new skill. And that is probably why he is walking by 9 months. Oiy. Where has the time gone?
Back in April I started working again. Prior to even becoming pregnant I had found a freelance job that I could do from home with very flexible hours. I took a long break from that work when I got pregnant due to just being overwhelmed by morning sickness and getting ready for the new little one to arrive. After he did finally arrive I was struggling so much from lack of sleep I could hardly see straight so work waited.
But now my little one is easily entertained by himself and I no longer need those naps when he naps so I have returned to work. There are a lot of freelance jobs out there that you can do from home. The job that I found that has served me quite well is video captioning. I write the subtitles to videos. It works perfect for me as I love to type and I can do it when and if I have time. What is also nice is that it is flexible so I can work as many or few hours as I choose or have time for (provided there is work) and I can work any part of the day or night I so choose.
This works out well for me and I find myself sitting at my computer feeling as though I have purpose again. Don't get me wrong, I love being a mom and I am so very thankful that I can be at home with my little munchkin but I do find that there is much want for something more constructive to do with my brain than gaga googoo. And this job fits the bill.
Today I actually applied for a second freelance job, a transcription job at another company. I did this because work isn't always consistent and it is nice to have a second (or third) option available for work if the first option doesn't have anything at the moment. I am looking forward to hearing back from them and hoping that I get in and am able to find some work there as well.
Life is good. I am enjoying all that I have on my plate and am always happy with variety, which I have much of nowadays. And so, until next time, have a lovely, purpose-filled day. Ciao!
