I was just wondering how many of us work full-time along with doing Pampered Chef?
 
I teach full time (not doing summer school). However I have a full PC summer, so I should be just great!!
 
I work pt but it feels like full time! I work in a medical office 2 - 3 days a week, not home til about 6:30 - 7pm and then I also do medical transcription at home, which can be done at anytime of the day but I usually get up around 6 to get on top of it before my son wakes up...then I spend my other time working on PC...there is a lot of juggling...but I love my PC business and my goal is to make that my full time and only job...hopefully the hard work and time invested will pay off...
 
I am home with my 2 year old daughter during the day & also baby-sit my 3 year old nephew M-F from 8-5. He'll have a newborn sister soon that I will also be watching when my sister goes back to work in August & then I'll be having #2 in October. I have NO idea how I'm going to manage PC with 4 kids--2 of whom will be babies!
 
I work full time during the week and then my husband and I have 2 other businesses, we mow lawn on the weekends for 3 places and we do custum baling in the summer. I can't wait until I can quite my job and do PC full time.
 
I have a full time job from 8am to 4:30 m-f for an engineering company
 
I work in my families tax office full time year around M-F 9am-5pm plus I got to school full time!! I also do 2-4 shows a month.. and I am a full time mom my daughter will be six next month.. workingon second child.

I am none of the above options - My kids are all fur kids I work part-time at a health food store Part time means anywhere from 10-33 hours depending on the person creating the schedule
 
I'm retired...doing PC full-time (but part-time hours....though some weeks it's a lot of 'part-time' hours).

:)
 
I don't have any kids, but I work full time, do 2-4 shows a month and do some freelance web designing in the rest of my spare time!And I should really be working towards a Masters degree:p
 
I forgot to mention that I have 2 kids. One getting ready to start kindergarden and one starting preschool. My goal is to be able to leave my full time when my son starts kindergarden in 2 years.
 
I work M-Thurs 8-5 as a legal secretary. I also keep books for a couple on the side and am on my city council. So, I say I work Full Time. I have a son that will be 3 in July. And trying to decide if we want to go ahead and have another.

I try to do 2-4 PC shows a month. The past few months I have been doing about 5 or 6 not counting caties. I keep telling my husband God is telling me to quit my day job, but he does not agree. He has agreed that if he gets a raise that teachers in Alabama are up for that I can go to 3 days next year if my boss agrees.

I also work full-time at a hospital in the Construction department 7:00 am - 3:30 pm. I have three boys 7, 3 and 1 1/2.

However, my oldest is with his dad every other week. But, when he is home, I work 5:30 am - 2:00 pm, so I can pick him up from school an hour away from home. Traffic is murder those days. Don't even how much my DH and I spend on gas on those weeks! I can't wait for the summer. :)

My goal is to quit my job by time my youngest starts kindergarten.
 
I help my husband with his Roofing business, our office is in our garage. I have two girls 16 & 13 who are in sports! I would like to do 6-8 shows a month, this month didn't make it.

I work 8-5 M-F as an accounting assistant. I work PC part-time and am a part-time appointment scheduler for an independent insurance producer. Plus, I am 31 weeks pregnant with my first baby...I am thinking something is going to have to give, but it won't be PC!
 
I work full time at an alarm company. I have a daughter at home & 3 boys grown & raised out of the house. I'm a newly single mother. Would like to go to PC full time within 2 years
 
Oh I forgot to say I just started selling in April & have made my 30 day qualification & have 2 recruits already. I really love doing this
 
I have 3 kids (5, 2 1/2 & 15 mos.) at home & also do the books for my husband's business.

Hmm, it doesn't look like I do much when I type it out. Why am I so exhausted? :)

The three kids part is what is so exhausting!!!!!
 
I work a FT job (7-4) as a HR Generalist. I also have a 1 yr old at home. I've been doing 5-8 shows a month as well. I'm the "bread winner" for my family, but would love to replace my FT income with my PC business. I would love to stay at home with my daughter.
 
I work full time besides being a wife and Mother. I also do partylite besides pampered chef.:eek: . I must be nuts
 
I work full time in College Admissions and do btwn 2-4 shows a month. I am currently looking at going back to get my masters and am looking for a new ft job. I would also like to be doing 4-6 shows a month starting in June.
 
I work full time not going crazy with my 5 kids and one husband who works really long hours. I'm trying to make a good go at the PC thing so I can stay at home with my children when they need me and when I need them. They are 13, 10, 6, 4, 14months.
 
I work full time!
 
Me, too! I'm a computer programmer.

That is awesome! Keep up the great work. :)
 
I work 40hrs a week, wait tables 2 or 3 nights a week (though on a hiatus from that since my car accident), just started PC, trying to do 6 shows a month .... no kids... yet
 
I work full time, usually 7am to 4pm or 5pm. My husband and I flip houses on the side, we do all the work ourselves. We have a 3yo daughter, considering having another. Plus PC, which I do really part time, more for a hobby.
 
I teach full time (6 more days til summer break!--but who's counting?!!?) I just started PC last August, so I'm really looking forward to filling up my summer with shows!
