Settled in....

Finally I feel like we have settled into our new home. And realize why owning a home is not as glamorous as it may seem. Already one of our pool springs broke, had to replace a water heater, and on and on... the list never seems to end. Although it is nice to have your own home, the costs and amount of work that is needed to maintain the home have just added financial and physical stress.  I now realize why about 50% of marriages fail due to financial stress. This has to be the only reason Hans and I ever fight, it is difficult when I have decided to be a stay at home mom therefore relying on one income for the house. I am starting to wonder if we will be able to afford another child at the rate we are going. And as you all can see by now starting my business has proven to be a difficult task. I think that it is just that first beginning hump I can't seem to get over. So I am thinking about taking the easy way out and either buying myself a YUDU which is a small little screen printing machine sold at Michaels, which provides a simple and pretty inexpensive form of getting images on screens. Or I may have to search for a work at home job, but the only ones I have ever seen are medical transcribing and you have to go to school to learn how to do that. Any ideas? For some reason I always talk myself into believing it is just easier to work for someone else, and it probably is but I know that owning your own business has to be more rewarding, right?
