Working Girl

Ok so by now you have figured out that I am a Cruise Travel Specialist. I have to say that this was not my choice. In a previous profession, I owned an Insurance Agency and then designed jewelry and exhibited it in Arts and Craft shows.
My husband and I moved to Florida full time about 6 years ago. I was happy to be young, healthy, go to lunch with my friends, go shopping, and decorate the house.
My husband, on the other hand has always been a workaholic and worked from 5:30AM to 10:30PM. All of a sudden we are in Florida, and he is bored. He keeps looking at all different types of businesses and wants me to be involved. I tell him "I'm not the one that is bored".
So finally he looks into buying a Cruise Travel Franchise. I said to him "now that is something I would be interested in and I'll help out a little".
I'm thinking, ok, I love cruising, and I can help him a little (key word being little).
We both attend the training classes, so I can at least help him.
We agreed that he would do the marketing and I would take care of booking the customers. Little did I know that he would be so good at the marketing, that I would be so busy, that now I am working from morning until night.
I keep telling him, what's wrong with this picture? Now he's in the pool having cocktails and I'm working getting final documents out and booking cruises.
So the moral of the story is "have your spouse get a hobbie"
