I find myself in the unusual situation of having only one client in early October. I normally have 3-4 clients a month now. My November clients are due late in the month, which buys me some extra security of the possibility of not being "on call" for a possibly a week or more? Depending on when my early October client delivers, I may have something most of you take for granted.
Time off call.
This is a rarity. Hasn't happened for a year and a half.
No weekends away at the beach, no trips to south GA to see friends and family, and I haven't seen my grandson Benjamin down in Tampa for.......I can't even remember. Too long.
So, no matter who calls and how desperate they sound, I will not be taking a single new client due in October this year. And as soon as my October client delivers, I will be heading south.
Hoping to see friends in Thomasville, family in Valdosta and my sweet grandson Benjamin in Tampa.
Now, let's just be praying every baby will cooperate. I need this time off. Need some time where I'm not constantly getting phone calls for every imaginable complication or question. Time when I can NOT think about mothers and babies.
Except my own mother and my own children and grandchildren.
