I'm a little bit of everything -- otherwise known as a mom! I wrote a
couple of stories at one point and sent them off to children's publishers,
but, with no success. Oh well -- that was "great business idea number 412"
I believe... I'm always on the look out for something to do. But, as the
husband of my dearest friend once commented "Both our families would be a
lot better off financially if you and [my friend] would stop trying to come
up with ways to make money!"...

I think we come up with all of these plans more as a way to keep busy. As a
mom, sometimes you are overwhelmed with 101 tasks (all at once and most of
them sticky) while at other times one feels a little useless.

Thank you so much for your kind words -- they really make me smile! (and I
don't even have to do your laundry or fix you a snack!) BeMa

As a homeschooling mom of two I can definitely relate to this. LOL

LOL BeMa,

We must be kindred spirits. I'm a frustrated writer
and a mom too! As a homeschool/soccer mom to one and
a drill team/soccer mom to the other - there's always
lots of sticky mom stuff going on here too! Would
love to find a money maker too, but all I ever come up
with is more really cool stuff to do that has no
financial gain in view! Latest of those things being
letterboxing...
