I want to contribute too...







I really didn't have much to report today but I thought I would get used to the idea of blogging every once in a while. I am trying to build a small business from home by painting and selling artwork for children's rooms. I put my paintings on facebook and have gotten a pretty good response from everyone. I have three orders so far and hoping to get more! Maybe everyone will share my work with their friends! Since we have decided to upgrade from the "Green Monster" (the green Explorer) to a 2007 White Tahoe, I felt the need to contribute in some fashion to the family income. I know we can handle the payments but it's just nice to say I contribute in some way. Let's not discount the fact that I am Mommy all day... but it always help to have a little financial contribution as well. I would imagine most stay at home Moms feel that way every now and then. We know we have a hand in everything that gets done around the house and for our children but yet we still feel the need to do more, to make ourself "useful" in the financial area of our home. I feel the need even more because I have a college degree and have completely abandoned the idea of USING it!!!! =) I just never imagined I would be staying home with my child. However, for now, I can use my talents to bring in a small amount of extra cash.



Speaking of the "Green Monster"... we are headed to Andalusia this afternoon to hand it over to my Mom. She is purchasing the Explorer and giving up her mini van. I have to say that the mini van she had was an accident waiting to happen. So, I can look at this exchange two ways: we are helping out a family member or it was just a good excuse for me to get the vehicle I've wanted for a LONG time! Either way, Life is Good!!
