Work at home

Have you ever thought about working from home? I have thought of it many times, and have tried and kept trying to do things that maybe one day I would be able to stay at home permanently. Everyone who knows me knows about my book business that I started back in 2000. I started it by selling my own books and CDs that I didn't want or need anymore. Now I have tens of thousands of books to sell. However, that only brings in a few hundred dollars a month.

Well, since being laid off 2 months ago, I have found so many things out there. It is exciting to see that it is possible to stay at home and still bring money into the household. Right now I am really getting into a field of mystery shopping/auditing/stocking. For example, today I mystery shopped Tommy Hilfiger Kids. Not only did Jaden get a new dress that I will be reimbursed for, but they also pay me for my review of the store.

When I got back from that store, LeCount went to Dollar General to do an audit of their trac phones. It only took 10 minutes.

My biggest project is coming up this weekend. I have to go to McKinney's theatre and count heads. It will be grueling because I'll have to see "Fred Claus" about 100 times, but hey, it beats having a Monday to Friday job and paying for day care. The "Fred Claus" assignment is for this weekend and the next 2 weekends. I have to count how many people go in to watch the show (at every show time slot). So, it will be a 12 hour job.

I am excited about all I have learned about work at home opportunities. Maybe I will write a book about it. Hahahahahahaha!!!!! But, seriously, no one ever tries to tell you that you don't have to join the rat race. And, it's ok to stay home with your children. In fact, to me, it is the best way because no one can love your children like you do.

Good night!
