Home is where the heart is.........

With Eli here, the plan is for me to now be "officially" a stay at home Mom.
Although, I interviewed with WFeliciana which is my dream job; I haven't heard back from them which is what I halfway expected. Not many school systems want a school counselor with only one year of experience...but it was worth the interview.
Staying home. The idea itself terrifies me to be honest. I never thought of myself as a stay at home wife or mom. The occupation was not ever on my to do or even will consider list. Then I had Tanner and the idea of paying someone else the equivalent of a small fortune only to miss him all day was a little crazy. But, one in day school made sense sort of, but two in dayschool amounts to maybe "clearing" 300-400 dollars a month more....
The hubby and I discussed- couldn't I do "something" and make 300 dollars?? And, so the search for $300 dollars a month has begun. I have so many good friends that have incomes generated from the free time...I would like to think that maybe with God's blessing I could do that too. So, will it be something crafty or simply counseling for clients on the weekend??
Really, not sure. Recently, we have been discussing maybe with the new shop Danny has plans to build- maybe I would just be responsible for marketing all of his woodwork. Considering custom antique cypress picture frames...

Eli was born on April 27,2009 weighing in at 9lbs 1oz. Big BOY!
He has curly dark hair and big blue eyes and two dimples on either cheek have been sighted by numerous awed friends and family. He has been nicknamed "Squeaker" because when he gets hungry he starts snorting like a little pig- therefore squeaker. His dad started it and then well what can I say- it fits for the moment. And besides one short stay at the NICU at Woman's where he underwent surgery on an infected "bobo"- he is home and healthy and happy!
