LEAP OF FAITH

I am taking a leap of faith.

In the past, I have been a stay at home mom and a working mom. I have done both. I have loved both. But I really think I love staying at home the best.

Aside from listening to the same cartoon five billion times in a day and your toddler destroying your neatly folded clothes because he wants to be like Godzilla knocking down the buildings and the fact that no matter what you clean, it is instantly. Dirty. Again. because the little trolls...er, I mean angels....like it better dirty, I think. It is very rewarding and the lowest paid job in the world, if you are counting in monetary value. If you count kisses, hugs, smiles, and "I love you"s, then you are the richest person in the world.

But I digress. Back to my leap of faith. I have been praying and pleading for a way to be able to stay at home with my girls. I am emotionally exhausted from working 60 hours a week and having nothing to show for it, sometimes not even a paycheck, since I work on commission. But I have to work, right? I have to pay the bills, right? Can you get a paycheck just being a mom? Somehow, I don't think so.*sigh*Now what do I do?

Are you in the same boat? Dying to stay at home and not knowing exactly how to do it? Go with what you know. Do what you love and figure out a way to do it from home.

I've always been a writer. Poems as a child. Songs for when I really can't figure out what I want to say, and just writing in general. Sometimes when I talk, I get flustered. Or think of what I should have said 30 minutes after the fact. But writing, that's never happened. Writing is my passion.

So I will be a freelance writer and do what I do best. Be a mom. And take care of the rest on faith.
