Feeling Chillin'

Wow...Long Time....

Wow, it's been over two weeks since I last wrote.  I was all excited about being chosen to be featured on that Parents Page, and then I just got worn out.

I do enjoy my working from home job very much so.  When I'm doing it, it's a lot of fun.  But, when I'm not working, I spend much of the time stressing about it. 

Why do I stress over it?  Because of the 15 hour minimum per week of work.  ::Sigh:: Fifteen hours is so little, yet so much when it comes to making sure that you have fifteen hours of complete silence a week between the hours of 7am and 4pm with a three year old and a one year old at home.  hehe

My mother in law has been helping me with things.  She watches the kids, but you know, she has her own health problems that wear her out too, on top of having her own job, her own stresses, and all of that fun stuff.

The first two weeks I didn't make my minimum of 15 hours.  They were nice about it.  There were extenuating circumstances that prevented me from getting the hours and they said not to worry because they are VERY understanding about that sort of thing.

I just really want for this job to work because we need to get out of this financial rut we're in.  We were doing good and then I had to get an annoying little thing called "Health Insurance" which costs more than an arm and a leg every month.  It costs an entire body! LOL

We'll see how it all goes.  I just don't want to wear myself out so that I don't have energy for things that I needed to do already before this job.

I'm gonna try to write more again.

Goodnight and I'll let you know how the job works out.

    I am (not by choice) a SAHM.  I was put on bedrest at week 7 of my pregnancy, had my children 11 weeks early and have been suffering from severe postpartum depression ever since (they say I was depressed during my pregnancy).  My husband and I have been discussing the "Money" situation as well and I have been thinking that I might need to find some job that I can do where I stay at home.  I am glad to see that someone else watched that episode of Dr. Phil and that you are actually going through with it.  I will keep watching your journal to see how you do with this new job and then, perhaps I too will apply and try and get a job.
