That would be great! :) My daughter is a little social butterfly; my oldest son is a bit of a shy one; and my youngest is rambunctious as heck!!! Little one drives me bonkers :)
Yeah, Christmas is going to be a bit different this year, anyway. We were planning on doing a small trip (overnight at a ski resort) instead of gifts…we’ll see how that works out; I have a friend who owns a property management company for condos at a ski resort…might be able to get a cheaper rate.
I just wrote this on a post and I didn’t get criticized about it…
So If you don’t mind me saying this but… Put your trust in God for he is the way the truth and the life. He is all answers that needed to be said. He can and WILL help you if you ask it of him. If you need help just call upon him and he will be there for you.
Anything outstanding in that “outstanding” is your own definition :) Needs to be done; or outstanding…either one :)
Yeah, that’s me too..working on things that I have put off for far too long.
I read your post about the business partner thing. It’s a good idea, I think, if you implicitly trust the business partner…otherwise, just hire someone when you can to do what you don’t want to do.
No, we are all still here in Texas. Gayla has offered me a spot up where she is and I am seriously considering her offer. I would be able to get away from much of my familial crap as well as learn to deal with a colder environment. :)
That stinks. Well In the past week people have been getting sick AGAIN in my school. Brace yourself for the Winter. Having such an early “flu season” is odd.
I answered the question you asked on your most recent post and I deleted the ones before it so that you didn’t have so many on your profile all asking the same thing :)
Hm. I’m getting my Master’s in Elementary Ed. I’m three classes plus comps away from it.
However, the more time I spend in the schools, and the more I have seen, either professionally, as a Christian, and as a mother….the more disappointed I am. I’m considering homeschooling…though I’m not sure if I have what it takes…lol
Or tutoring. I’ve thought about tutoring or maybe even starting a kindergarten readiness sort of daycare…
I have an 8, 7 (as of 9-30) and 4 year old.
What grade did you teach? I did 3rd and 4th grade…
I am kind of in business for myself…I sell Mary Kay; mystery shop (home based businesses); and I’m the financial person in our house, and have purchased some rental properties (before and after marriage) that I maintain. Those are all sort of “being in business for myself…” But I’d like to write a book; make more money somehow…without having to go back to work. LOL :)
Hm. Maybe I will look that up. We have some serious medical bills that will be coming in soon and I need to figure out a way to make some extra cash :s
I could do a 500 word article in less than half an hour, I think….
Wow! Three finished stories!! I’m impressed! Maybe you are too hard on yourself and they are great…’course I do understand the need to edit.
Sometimes, though, with this book that I want to write, I feel like I’ve bitten off more than I can chew…the story has been inside of me for a long time, though, so I think it has to be told. It’s just a matter of organizing my thoughts into a coherent story and then organizing that story into something a few ppl would want to read….”just….” LOL
Maybe I’ll try to work for guru.com. Is it hard to get a job with them? I know about working for pennies…I do mystery shopping, and it doesn’t pay much at all, but it’s a way to bring in a little bit of income/enhance our lifestyle…and I can schedule it around the rest of my life, so it works.
Can you email me your websites? If you don’t want to, that is ok, too. Maybe I should start a website like that to “get my name out there….” But would ppl steal your work??
Are you a teacher (I ask b/c of the education reference; and making money from it…)
LOL. You know Sans, right? He said, when I told him that I got that much done that quickly, that he read a recommendation that a writer should just “go for it…” :) I can write a pretty good poem in about 10 minutes.
What do you write? Have you had anything published??
I’ve been working on it for about a week and a half. It’s about me, my daughter and my mom…kind of a “full circle” sort of thing…how my daughter is my inspiration and is teaching me to be a better mom than the example that I had. Though that is sort of the “plot” of the book, and that is not fiction…the actual events in the book will be mostly fiction.
