Michelle -

Assuming those jobs are so small you can get along without either a RTOS 
or high-level coding, you may want to look into the PIC processor. Once 
you get used to the non-uniform address space and some quirky 
instructions, you will find these chips do a great deal. Minimal 
supporting logic, in-place FLASH programming, and debugging with a 
reasonably simple serial interface are big advantages. More resources at 
(among others): [http://www.microchip.com].
