i took the plunge

i've been thinking for quite a while that i needed to do more for my family in the money department. since i'm home full-time with pbs i'm not bringing in any money. i feel guilty for that but at the same time, i feel blessed to be able to have this time with pbs. i know i could never get that back or replace being there for all of his firsts. i struggled with the decision of staying home vs. going to work full or part time, and i still do sometimes. that's why i decided to take the plunge.

i started researching, asking questions about starting my own at home business a few months ago and found a company that i felt would allow me to stay home, work my own hours, and that i believe in. i have started my very own mary kay business. i'm going to try it out, make the most of what i know i can do, have fun meeting new people and make some money while i do it. i will get to get out of the house for a while a couple times a week by myself. i think that will help me to be a better mother and wife to pbs and js.

i want to feel refreshed from my time away and be able to contribute more to my family. i love my family very much but need some me time once in a while. this business will help me to get that and more, all for my family.
