See - here is the part I hate. I am here, at my shop, at least 8 hours a day, if not 11 or 12, 6 days a week and the one day I am not here (Tuesday) I spend it trying to get EVERYTHING else accomplished. And I see my friends all out for breakfast or snuggling with their families or having lazy days in their PJ's or watching the waves crash on the

Try to see this as a temporary situation -- just until you are making enough to hire a responsible manager and spend more time away from the business. It's like when the kids were teething or colicky and you didn't get to sleep through the night and seriously doubted that you'd ever get a good night's sleep again. It felt like it was going to last forever, but it didn't. And this won't either. You just have to keep it up until it sticks, until those people become regulars, until 9 breakfasts and 12 lunches sounds like a bad day. Get the business turning over nicely and you'll be able to take time away. First just a half-day. Then a day. Then a couple days. Then whatever you decide.

You are meeting your goals, even though they were very ambitious, and exceeding them. I don't think this "temporary" situation will last very long.

(PS -- I do not watch the waves crash on the shore. I only listen to them. I watch the pelicans dive-bombing the fish. Totally different occupation. *WINK*)

Love you.

I know this is a day (or two) late and a dollar short, but I wanted to just pop in to give you support and *hugs* and whatever. There will be bad days. Reflect on the many years you did have of freedom to pick your own schedule and count that as one of your "blessings". Also - thank goodness for Kelly not being a twit any more and you being the bigger person! I'd still confront her, but that's me, not you :P
