They add to our life and you can't put a price on that. <br /><br />MarthaMarthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943812281623696381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-24140278795714199212012-05-21T21:41:01.148-05:002012-05-21T21:41:01.148-05:00I am at exactly the same place as you just now.

Unfortunately because I am looking after MIL I really don't have an option. <br />I have no skills to offer anyone on the PC my typing skills are minimal and I would never be able to offer my services to anyone as a Bookeeper, which limits my choices.<br />Can't wait to hear what youre plans are .....Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260642250519868482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-67196016614934059812012-05-21T14:06:03.175-05:002012-05-21T14:06:03.175-05:00With summer vacation time coming up perhaps you co...With summer vacation time coming up perhaps you could provide secretarial services on a temp basis. I know a pet sitter/dog walker who makes a good living. Someone who is recuperating from surgery might pay to be driven or have errands run. I don't know your community but I bet your talents could be put to use on a paid project/occasional basis. I think you have mentioned volunteering at your church which would give you a great place to network to get ideas and work.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-33171531331576838352012-05-21T10:26:21.713-05:002012-05-21T10:26:21.713-05:00very interesting.

There are times when I feel God wants that for me as well but..........financially I can't do that right now, so I guess you could say I am scared to step out in faith.<br />$100 a week sounds like a doable thing. Do the girls who live with you pay anthing at all for rent or groceries? If not, how do you feel about the possibility of them helping you meet this $100 a week goal. I just thought I would throw that out there. <br />I am 50, not much money not a ton of debt....under 5000 for a car and under 50000 for our home but like I stated we don't have much at all put aside. I fritter the money each month and we have nothing to show for it. I admire what you have been able to do these last 3 years.<br />Also.......and this is big, what does your husband want you to do?<br />Keep up the good work as you are a blessing to those of us in the land of the blogs.Lee Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01146224020825165005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-617590846825685957.post-43604735071648127382012-05-21T09:57:54.818-05:002012-05-21T09:57:54.818-05:00I've been home since Feb 2009 after working fu...I've been home since Feb 2009 after working full time since 2003. Husband and I were talking just yesterday how much we like me being at home. I could work if I had to but it would be difficult and would probably not enjoy it. I am truly a homebody at heart. <br /><br />Finances have forced me into the work force as our children were growing up and needed things. I always worked because I had to. <br /><br />Hope you can find a way to come up with at $100 a week!Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898829593961271218noreply@blogger.com
