Times that Try a Princess's Soul

Ok, so just forgive the horrendous poetic license that I just took with that title. But trust me, the soul of the princess...it's tried....and Tried...and...well you get the picture, right? Let's start with the fact that after years of having teenagers and young adults of all shapes and sizes underfoot in my home, I now am dealing with peace and silence within the walls of my humble apartment. And as if empty nest syndrome wasn't enough, my biggest client is having major problems treating me as an independent contractor and not an employee. It's not enough that he still isn't paying me at the correct level for the difficulty of work he demands, but now he wants more hours without paying for them. AND he can't seem to grasp the meaning of 'overwhelmed'. See? Sounds pretty trying doesn't it?
So tonight I'm going out with my best buddy "G" and her super-fantabulous guy in hope that I'll be able to relax, have fun and ease my weary soul. At the least perhaps I can get into enough trouble to take my mind off the rest. Wish me luck!!!
