I have considered having a blog for some time now. I am Cajun woman who runs a cloth diaper company. We have been in business for 6 years now and some parts are good others are bad. Being your own boss has it pros and its cons. Pros you get to decide what to do, cons you know everything has to be done. I am not sure if I would have started this if I had known what I was getting into. My business partner is my mom and best friend. This is the best and worst situation you can be in. When you are in business with your friends/family it tends to consume all of your quality time. There are times when I wish we could just be family and friends. But with things how they are this is how it has to be for now.
On the home front my husband was laid off from his job at the end of October. Definitively not the hiring season in the oil field! South LA is suffering from the Oil Moratorium that the Obama administration has put here. It is choke hold on our economy. Supposedly the moratorium is over but no new permits have been issued still. We got another news report that a new rig has left the Gulf this week. If things keep up the gulf oil economy will be completely devastated over time, I am not sure if that is not the administration's plan to be honest. At this time my husband is talking to a great company for international work and it looks like he should have a great position soon. I am the anxious sort so this waiting for a contract is killing me though. It could be a life changing position for our whole family.
We have had our home on the market off and on for almost a year now. I had pulled it from the Real Estate agency in October and out of the blue we were contacted us by a family who found our ad on an obscure web site and they signed a contract. Hope the financing goes well and that we can downsize soon. This house is way too big for me. If I had a maid it would be OK but mopping 3200 sq foot is not my favorite pastime!
Hope to update this with good news on one of the fronts soon. TTYL
