I've been blessed to be able to stay home with my kids for the last four years. I'm hoping that I'll be able to continue but it doesn't look promising. This crappy economy is starting to take its toll on us. My husband, a housepainter, is having a hard time keeping money in the business account and I only just now got to put our paycheck (we're incorporated so we get salaries) from two weeks ago into our personal account. I have no idea when I'll be able to put this last paycheck from Friday in. We have assets such as two extra business vehicles and a house that my dad lives in as well as a house that my husband uses as his office & supplies storage but I don't know that we'd be able to sell anything at all let alone for a decent amount of money. Plus I have the problem of what to do with my father. He's a whole other blog.
So the thing I'm pondering is going back to work as a waitress or bartender a few nights a week. That would suck really bad but not as bad as putting my kids in daycare and hitting the forty hour work week. It's not quite that bleak yet. I am already tired all the time and behind on doing the books for my husband as it is. Sometimes I do miss restaurant life but not enough to actually want to go back. I guess for now it just means cutting back as much as possible. I'm all about the Equate and Hy-Vee brands now baby!
