On the Hunt

Since my last blog post, which I am sorry to say was such a long while ago, I've been hunting for some sort of supplemental income. Since I no longer work at my former job we've been struggling a bit more than I originally thought we would. Going from two incomes to one isn't quite as easy as I had thought it would be.

I think I had a slightly romanticized idea of what it would be like to stay at home and get myself and my hubby ready for our baby. Over the last couple weeks I've learned that it is not so easy as I had thought. Baby items cost a lot more than I thought, and cost of living is a bit more than what we had planned. Budgeting has helped us a lot, but it's definitely not always easy.

So taking into account all the difficulties we've run into since my last paycheck came and went, I've decided that I really need to find some source of income to help supplement what my husband makes. At this point in our lives I'm now almost 9 months pregnant and obviously can't go out job hunting. In addition to not really being able to go out to job hunt, I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to have a job outside of my home. I've been finding it extremely difficult to find any income producing jobs that are legitimate and allow me to work from home. However I'm determined to figure it out.

My husband and I decided a long before this baby came around that when we were to have kids I would stay at home to care for them. I don't think either one of us was prepared for the sacrifices and difficulties we would face, but we will make it through together. We are both still very determined to make it happen the way we want it to. I'm not going to give up on my searching for something that I'm really good at that I can do from home, and until I find that something, I'll just continue my blog and hope for God's guidance as we move through this difficult season in our lives.
