Monday monday!!!

Well Monday has arrived and I find myself at home, taking antibiotics, cough syrup, nasal gel and trying to keep Dooley from stealing my cough drops.  I have a respiratory infection and probably for awhile, but I visited the doctor on Friday and he loaded me up. 

I have missed work since Friday, although I have been writing my income level from that is not enough yet to sustain us on days I miss from work, or to replace my lost income from the school.  I've started inquiring about going back to school to get my teaching certification and my degree in education.  I have thought about being a teacher quite a lot lately because I enjoyed it so much while I was at the Day school at the church.  Before then though, when i was in my twenties i considered it then.  I love history, science and math, and reading and writing of course.  I've been looking at online schools all morning and I will need to do this online since we live so far away from a major metropolitan area. 

I finally finished my dog treat recipe book and hope to get it set up on line on my website for sell.  I'm praying for it to be a hit and make us some money.  That is one of my goals for the day, to get it up on the website and ready for purchase. 

Other than that I'm thinking a lot about the fact that my daughter and son maybe moving before Christmas.  They aren't moving out of state, but they won't be five minutes away.  If and when they move, most of my family will be driving distance of at least two hours except my baby sister and her kids.  What exactly does that mean?  Probably that I will want to move closer to my daughter.  I have already asked my husband how he feels about moving and I was answered with a question.  That is okay.  I know God will lead us to where we need to be and if it means closer to my daughter or my mom, or staying right here, that is what we will do, at least until my grand babies start arriving. 

I guess that is enough rambling for the day!  I have things I need to work on, and information I need to gather.  May you all be abundantly blessed by God in whatever it is you are seeking from Him.  Love, L

Thursday, October 15 - Life Update

Okay so we are tired of the rain. One and half days of sunshine out of 14, 1 cloudy day... Not a great way to start off October. We are almost finished with the job in Canton. Hopefully we will have it finished by tomorrow. My website is under construction and I have found some wonderful Christian sites that allow you to be an affiliate and advertise the items they have to sale. It's commission, but I think I found a couple of really good sites that offer wonderful things. One of the biggest updates is that I have decided not to go with the literary agency that I have been talking and interacting with. It just doesn't' feel right. So I'm back to finding a publisher. However, I think, once my friend Amber is through with the edits, I'm just going to post it on my website for sale as an ebook. Okay that's it for the day or for right now. I'm up way earlier than I need to be... but need to work on website and stuff before my physical job.. Maybe this is why I'm so tired... May God Bless you all!

Just A Note -

It seems I've been gone away on a long trip, and I am just now finding my way back. The month of July turned out different than I thought it would be, Thanks God. First, my daughter found my husband and I a rent house. It is quite affordable and as of 8/1/09 it was our place. We are still in the process of unpacking and sorting, sending a lot of stuff back to storage. I've been working for my husband since 7/7/09. I was quite scared that I wouldn't be able to handle the responsibilities and the work, but have found that I am a lot stronger than I thought. If you don't know, my husband and his brother James, do exterior remodeling and vinyl siding installation and repair as well as metal carports, decks, patio covers, and roofs, replacement windows and the list goes on. We just finished a six week job in Eustace which is at Mabank and Gun Barrel. The deck turned out awesome and I will add a picture on my blog. With me working for my husband, we have been able to catch up on a lot of our finances and been able to move. I'm not sure what finally convinced my husband that I could work with him, but I love it and so does he I think. Also, I've been contacted by the editor of an online newspaper that is local about doing some writing. No pay, but lots of exposure. Once we get settled and I get organized, I will begin posting at least once a week to my blogs. Please keep reading and letting our mutual friends know about my blogs. May God Bless you All.

Becoming a Freelancer

Okay if writing is not your thing, then this blog is probably not for you, but if you want to be a free lancer in anything and work from home, then heads up. There is a website called getafreelancer.com and it is free to subscribe to the site. I've gotten three writing jobs all of which are ongoing from that site. Check it out! Also so tips about working from home, you should never sign up with a company that charges you a monthly fee and you need to check them out completely before signing up any way. Do a search on google for the owner's name, go to the Better Business Bureau site and see if they have had any complaints and if and how they were resolved. This goes for any internet business as well. Search the web also in snopes and any other search engine that talks about scams and such. Blogger will be the first to tell you about scams. Oh and by the way, wwww.realdataentry.net is a scam and a fraud. Although they are very good to stay in touch with you, they never pay off so don't believe what you see from people who have received payment. Check it out before you sign up
