Wow, things have been a little hectic lately! Last night I went out to a concert and between it running a little late and the 45 minute drive home, it was after 1am before I got to sleep – then there was a 2:30 am wakeup call from my littlest angel and then the alarm at 6:30 to get the oldest ready for school.

Yep, that made for a tired mama this morning, and yet still there was work to be done.  Still is work to be done for that matter, lol, and it’s 9pm!! But I’m not going to get much more done, I think I’ll work a lot better tomorrow if I actually get a decent sleep tonight.

Things have been good though – I talked on the phone yesterday with a new client and was excited today to see them mention me on their awesome Sparkplugging blog – Freelance Parent. Make sure you check out their post if you are freelance writer, they have some possible opportunities in the works and I know they love to work with other work at home moms!

I also had a call from a potential client later in the day. In the typical nature of my work at home schedule, she called during the 10 minutes I was out picking my son up from the bus stop! I called back promptly and we’ve played some voicemail tag. If it’s meant to be we’ll manage to connect eventually!

The potential client mentioned Skype in her message to me yesterday – something I’d been meaning to check out but hadn’t quite gotten to. Lately though I’ve been making occasional long distance calls, especially to the US, so I finally went and signed up yesterday. If you are on Skype and you want to chat sometime look me up – I’m laurie.mapp there!

The new logo for my business site is coming along – feel free to check out the current version (some changes still to be made) and let me know what you think. The new one is on my blog and the old one is still up at my site. Sometime next week everything should be finished and both sites will have the new green and grey color scheme and new logo in place.

Ok, time to do a last few things and then bed for me – take care!
