Life of Riley

I have always been found of that saying and it certainly applies to my life right now. For the third year in a row I have been blessed with having 2 months off work.You see the nature of my job is selling software to CPA's. There are two months during the year that CPA's are heavy into tax season. The last thing they want to do is speak with me during that period.I made a deal with my bosses a few years back to take the time off, fore go my salary and just receive commission during that period.Yes its a little less money but I get to pretend I'm a stay at home Mom two months out of the year. I change my alarm clock from 6am to 7:30 am. I clean the house, make better dinners, exercise more and am just generally in a good mood. I have worked all my life from a very young age. I only took 2 weeks off when Andrew was born because we had just bought our first home in San Francisco. So this time off for me is a very very big deal. I have lots of things planned day trips, projects and trying new things. In two days Terry and I take off for a week in the Dominican Republic. So while folks in Austin are still dealing with cold temps, Ill be drinking a Mojito and most likely getting fat. The Life of Riley is the life for me. The only difficult thing about it is when it will come to an end on April 15th. Until then I plan on enjoying every moment.
