Life in Mommyland

I'm seriously trying to figure out how people can make money doing what they love (i.e. hobbies and such). I've worked really hard on my website and hope to someday be able to run it as a business to bring in extra income for us, but I don't see how it's going ot be possible. I want to deliver a good product and not have to charge an arm or leg for membership either you know? It's hard to think about and figure out as well. I'm learning more and more through school and changed my major to business as well, in hopes of gaining more information.

I did some research and there are some wonderful business search engines out there to ease the stress in looking for international businesses or products. I was reading about masterseek, their site looks so nice! I need to find out who does their web design and talk to them about my website as well. I am in the process of searching for some jewelry businesses (a girl can dream can't she?)to look at some pretty baubles. I noticed I can join and advertise my hopeful business as well. It's like Google but for businesses, which is awesome because you don't have to sift through a bunch of ads or links in order to find what you are needing.

Good freaking heavens my kids are expensive! Eli had his birthday party in May at Chuck E. Cheese and that cost a pretty penny, now Kristopher's birthday is coming in June and we're going to shell out another small fortune for it as well. I love my children but they are breaking my bank for sure. Kristopher hasn't made up his mind about what he wants to do for his birthday, one day it's Chuck E. Cheese, the next it's the public pool, then he goes for the big guns and wants Incredible Pizza! Yikes! Thankfully I signed up at Bloggerwave to make some extra cash with my blogging. Every bit helps and if I blog enough I can earn plenty enough to help offset the cost of the birthday party.

First of all thank God it's the last week of school and thank GOD thi is a four day weekend. I am exhausted and so is Stacey. But most importantly, thank God the kids are at the grandparents tonight! Woohoo! I wish I could say that we've done nothing but relax and veg out all day, but nope. We've been battling the fleas, our dogs are killing us and themselves with the fleas. So we had to fog the house, and then clean up the mess, wash the dogs, and spray the dang yard too. It's been busy as hell and I'm tired. We did get some potentially good news, the grandparents might keep the kids for one more night. THEN we wont do anything but veg LOL!

Kristopher is walking for Juvenile Diabetes on June 2nd and if you could will ya click the link and donate a few bucks in his name? He hasn't had anybody donate on his page yet :( Thanks y'all!

Woohoo! Tonight is the school's Mayfest. I have no idea what to expect or look forward to but they suckered me out of $20 worth of tickets for it. The boys have been looking forward to this all week long and talked of nothing but this and Star wars (of course) all week long. I"ll come along and post how I survived later this evening.
