Sometimes when it rains it pours

After a number of applications and resumes that I've submitted for part time, weekend, telecommuting jobs; I've been on a number of interviews, some have extended offers of employment, and I still have interviews lined up. Unfortunately, I've had to decline employment and I'm debating about scheduling interviews as we got some sad news that my husband's grandmother passed away. What does that have to do with my job hunt? Well, if we have to travel for her funeral (which is about a 5 hour flight and another 3 hour drive), I can't see starting a job only to request time off. So, we just need to really watch the cash outflow until we get back.

From Working Mom to Stay at Home Mom

After being the main provider financially for my family for almost 7 years I decided to quit my job, concentrate on completing my degree, decide if I want to pursue my CPA license, start a bookkeeping business, or be a stay at home mom full time. It's been three weeks since I've been playing chauffeur to boys driving them to and from school, packing home lunches, homework time, only to repeat the next day. At first it was hard to get motivated but once I got into a routine it's been pretty fluid. However, after keeping up with the loads of laundry, deep cleaning, and chores I'm starting to get a bit antsy. So I've been on the job hut for something part time while the kids are in school just to get me out of the house and contribute financially, even if a small amount.

Blogging community newbie!

I've decided to join the growing numbers of stay at home moms, working moms, and basically moms bloggers. So what do I have to bring that's different? I can't say for sure. However, if there's a reader out there that I can connect with like many of these other moms that I've connected with, well then it's worth it.
