I have had my real estate license for over six years, and for the three years prior to Chickie's birth, I was a busy, active real estate agent. I loved it, but switched to being a full-time mom when she was born. I did continue doing occasional work. Being able to only work occasionally, and to say no when I want to, has been absolutely wonderful.
I haven't done any real estate transactions in over a year, since early in my pregnancy with Zoodle. Yesterday, though, I listed the home of some friends. It's fun to be back in the game!
Fun...and tiring. I always tend to forget just how many hours it takes to get everything in place at the beginning of a listing. I'm also preparing for Chickie's birthday party Saturday, and Monday the kids and I will be headed to Arizona to visit my parents. So it's a BUSY week, and my blog posts may not be top priority!
I will, however, be sure to have a post tomorrow. Today is Chickie's third birthday, and tomorrow is The Engineer's and my ninth anniversary! More on both of those big events tomorrow.
Be sure to check out last night's post announcing the art giveaway winner!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHICKIE!!!!! We hope it is the best day for you! And Happy Anniversary you two! Congrats on 9 years!!! 9 years is so exciting! Hope you get to do something super special together!!
Happy Birthday Chickie! And happy anniversary to the two of you for tomorrow.
The housing market is pretty dead over here, I hope it's better where you are.
Lots of wonderful events to celebrate! Enjoy!
Happy Birthday! Three is so much fun!!!!
I know what you mean about the work life balance stuff! I got my real estate license in Oct 2006 and my son was born in Aug 2007. I loved the RE work before he was born, and still do, but it has been such a blessing to get to lay low while he's little. Maybe I'll actually get to meet you when you come to AZ next week since I attend SRC- it's always more fun to read a blog when you kinda know the person!
Happy birthday, Chickie! Also, happy anniversary to you and the Engineer!
Sara, Anna, Becki, Kerri, Mom, Sasha, Lyndsay, Crazy Mo, rainylakechick, bARE-eYED sUN, Jenners, Sandi, Faith, Isabella, Sandra, Our Scoop, Rachel, Tia, Special K--THANK YOU!
Becki--Don't worry about it; it's not like she's running short on toys. :)
Sasha, Lyndsay, & Special K--I know, not long ago at all we were all sharing our birth stories with each other! Crazy!!!
rainylakechick--Ha, maybe we'll run into each other in Yuma. That would be so ironic!
bARE-eYED sUN--Thank you for reading; I'm so glad you enjoy it! I enjoy your TOMW responses.
Jenners--Geez, me too. This week is definitely more busy than I'm comfortable with. But we all have those weeks occasionally; I'm glad they aren't all like that!!
Sandra--Thanks for including Zoodle! :)
Our Scoop--We are going to dinner (just The Engineer & me) Friday. I think we should plan something really special for next year, 10 years!! Like a trip somewhere!
Rachel--Our housing market is definitely soft but is WAAAAAY better than most of the country, thankfully. We didn't have the huge jump in values the last few years, and we aren't seeing the steep decline. Gradual changes like we've seen here are so much healthier than the "bubble" that grows and pops.
Julie--Oh, I do hope we get to meet each other! I'll just be there one Sunday, the 25th.
Becky--Thank you! :)
