Just a Notary......Not!

I would like to take my hat off to all the notaries out there who do this job and still manage to run a family home as well.

Whether is kids/grandkids being ferried everywhere, shopping (the not for fun type), cooking, washing, cleaning without help (someone mentioned “househelper” – what ever that is) or maid, you ALL are very special individuals.

I just thought you should be acknowledged since I haven’t ever heard mention of the special roles you all play in this business on any forum. IMO

Thanks James, that was very thoughtful of you! Juggle is the name of the game. Happy Holidays!

Thank you so much..I juggle so much I should join the circus! That was very nice of you to acknowledge that what we all do is unique to say the least..I love every minute of the profession and I hope the good Lord lets me continue..

I am fortunate to work with some great companies and know I am truly blessed. My Not Rot family is awesome too. I have learned so much from everyone and I want to say that I appreciate all of you too!

Too funny Claudine- I often hear circus music in my head...

having a 5 1/2 year old, a 5 mos old, and a husband that travels frequently for work is more that what most people can handle. When you add my crazy schedule to the mix it is just nuts around here. I often refer to our life as "crazy town". I do have to say I would not trade or change it for the world. I left behind a 6 figure corporate job and all the bs it had to offer 6 1/2 years ago and have never regretted it for one minute!!!!! I love the variety and change that this business offers...it is a good for people that like to moving and running around!!!!

Thank you James....we all deserve a pat on the back!!!!!

James, that is so sweet of you!

I don't run family home, but I do have a host of responsibilities and run alot of other things. Having worked & lived in Corporate America it is kind of nice to have my ego stroked every now and then....lol

In addition to my other hats....

I also have a full time job running a grant-funded youth program. Thankfully I work at home and my hours are flexible, so I am able to do signings as well as take care of my family and home.

I couldn't help but notice that you struck a chord with the ladies on here, James. Thanks for your post!

I actually meant this for all...

and definitely not directed to people like me.
