Doug and I have decided that its important for me to continue to stay home with the kids. I really want to homeschool them and that would be out if I work full-time during the day. I am looking for ways to continue to stay home with them during the day but earn some good income. Doug works 7:30 am to 5:30 pm M-F and has every other Friday off. I am now open to working at night when Doug gets home (usually a bit after 6pm) and on weekends. It won't be fun but I'll do it. I need to bring home after taxes about $1000 per month. Its not like I am unskilled or uneducated. I have an extensive work history, and a BS in Business Administration so you would think I would be able to find something. Its hard to find something to do at night that pays well though. I need something reliable so a lot of the work from home stuff like selling various things wouldn't work out and I am not very good at sales anyway. I'm not pushy enough. I'd like to start working in January so if anyone has any ideas for me or knows of any places that are hiring please let me know.
I was earning almost that much when I was babysitting full-time at home and it was nice because I was home all the time but it was extremely bad for my temperment. I wasn't able to take Elijah out to do stuff in the community or go to our homeschooler's group. I wasn't able to participate in MOPs which is a big blessing to me. It was way too much . Its just different when its other people's kids. Part-time babysitting is nice and I can continue that I just need more money. So I'm praying for some direction.

I wish I had done what you are doing.
mom
Joanna you are definitely doing Gods work now ~ I see it!!
I'm in the same boat as you Joanna ~ trying to get through this transcribing school so that I can bring in some much needed money.... I'll keep a look out...
I am in the same boat as you. Even with what I'm doing, I need to do something different.
Nothing is a more fulfillinf job than motherhood, but I will be praying that God would open a door for you to bring in some income. And I am glad you are in MOPS too..you BETTER not leave. :) ~ Kin
