Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

Well, maybe not desperate measures, but different measures for sure. I'm actively trying to figure out what to do with this thing called "unemployment." Even though my Master's is in Education, I find myself more and more hesitant to go into the education field as a normal teacher. I just don't know what I want to do, except I'd love to teach college-level education courses. I've had one offer but most of the work was on the weekends, and I just can't do that when my husband travels all week.

I have to figure out what I can do from home to make enough money to pay for The Princesses tuition and anything else we need at this point. I think a semi-mindless job would be ideal, and a lot less stress than teaching! With a husband that travels, it's very difficult to be a working parent and spend 50 hours or so working each week., along with raising two kids. I was a single mom for years and I swear, I don't know how I did it. With The Rockstar still being homeschooled, I've got to find something either very part time or something at home.

My brain is working overtime in this capacity, but I know whatever I decide will have to pay our bills. I'm kind of glad our situation (read: Having hardly any money!) has pushed me to pursue something that interests me and that will help me pay our bills. While I decided I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom and wife for a long time, when desperate times arrive, I'm ready to take them on and do what I can to make life easier for us as a family. It's tough, but hopefully I'll find something that can work for me!
