Yea, every day! Its called being self-employed! I haven't taken a vacation in 5 years. And every time I think I'm doing good I got a bill for a few grand that is due in a week! Everyone thinks that you are rich just because you own your own business, they just don't know how much work it is!

Boy you are so right there Von! I get so sick and tired of that mentality. People don't realize that after the doors are closed you've still got a couple of hours of work left not to mention dealing with employees, govt., etc. One of the things I think people should have to do is run their own business just so they have a little respect for what actually goes on. I rarely take a vacation as well. We went on our first one this last year in the past nine years. That was because I had never taken my wife for a honeymoon. The day after we got married I had to take state boards.

I will keep my 21 hour per week and that is concidered a heavy load. You know you need time to think.
