Dream Big!

I just read the cutest book to the girls last night and they loved it!  It is called Betsy B. Little by Anne McEvoy.  It was adorable, had a poetic feel but very appealing.  My 5-year-old was asking questions all the way through.  It is based on a unique giraffe with a big dream of being a dancer.  "  Loved it!  Check it out, AND if you decide to purchase it, I even earn some commissions!  Thanks for checking it out!

Take time for the little things...

So I asked my husband if he wanted to go have lunch today since we were home and the kids were at daycare, but he chose to have a lunch meat sandwich and chips so that he could do yard work this afternoon right away.  He's says it's just my imagination when I say are you avoiding me?

Decisions

Oh the opportunities, which I am thankful to have.  If only choosing were the easy part.  I have a M-F 8-5 opportunity, and two education related possibilities (which won't be available until August of course) which are only a hard choice because I need to get to work now!  I really don't want to give up my time with my girls this summer, nor any summer, but can not afford to go without work for much longer.  If I elected to become a substitute teacher I could still chip away at my small business idea.  The office job is a great job really!  What if I pass it up and then regret not taking it.  I have wanted this job off and on the last year.  AHHH!

I can't think straight anymore!  Maybe I should say I can't hear myself think with very loud childrens' toys only 15 inches from my ears.   Calgon????

Other than that...

Besides the fact that I am now broke and looking for a fulfilling way to make a living, things are crazy!  We are still trying for our third child.  It's been a year now and now luck.  It is so odd since we barely decided to with the first two.  I blame my two years of teaching high school and the stress that I put my body through, not to mention the 4 years older that I now am.

I still want to move closer to my family, I feel so alone with no unconditional love near me-ha ha!  I briefly thought about purchasing a rental property but came to my senses.  They probably want me to have some income before I apply for a loan.  hmmmm

As for my hobbies...I ended up trading my new Pentax Kx in for a new camera same model because it was draining batteries like you wouldn't believe.  The last 3 sets of batteries had less than 200 photos each.  NOW I have probably gotten over 1000 photos on the first set of batteries.  Whew!  I will post my first attempts at portrait and wedding photography-how fun!!

Handywoman...

I decided to go forward with my most recent brainstorm for running my own business.  I am starting a handywoman/concierge business catering to women and elderly, or perhaps owners of properties that need preparing to rent or sell.  Any ideas on this?  I have created a flyer to take to some contractors and realtors and and just trying to spread the word without the cost of advertising just yet.

I have had my first job which I feel was completed below my standards and now realize that I will probably always feel self conscious about my work no matter how well I did.  Is this true for anyone else?
