I officially start June 1st. I will be working for a fragrance vendor in our local Navy Exchange. I will work 17 hours a week, flexible around my kids! YEAH!!!
I am responsible for stocking the 85 product lines on the sales floor and helping them to sell, as well. I haven't worked out of the house in almost 15 years. I can certainly say I was a bit nervous this am.

I have to go to Atlanta, a five hour drive from me, in June for a conference. I'll go the day before and they will pay for my hotel that evening and then meetings start at 9:00 am. They will pay my expenses.

During the summer months, child care may be a bit of a problem. I can rely on my 15 year old dd to watch my younger two, but I will have to pay her, since she will not be able to sit for other people.

Anyway, I'm thrilled!
