This moment in time

I really enjoy reading. It is my ME time. I try to read every night. It’s almost like an addiction. My usual books are paperback non0iction books I find on sale or borrow from friends.

A few hours ago I was sitting in one of our Adirondack chairs reading a book. My son was asleep in his crib. My daughter was a few feet away playing on her swing set. She said to me “momma! Momma can you help me”? I asked her what she needed. She told me she wanted me to push her. My mind yelled “NO!” But my heart responded to her with a “sure thing kiddo.”

I pushed her for only a few minuted. She told me a few minutes into it that she loved having me push her and it made her “so very happy”.

A moment like that can never happen again. That book is still here. In addition, it will be later.

Stay-At-Home-mom income=$0.00

I don't make any money. Not a single dime. Some days the whole "Weeds" TV show looks like a good diea. But I don't even know how to buy drugs...where would I get them to sell them???? Plus the whole going to jail part if really not to high on my agenda these days.

I am looking into USBORNE books as an option to make some extra income for my family. But I wonder how well that will do.
Pro: Only one person in the area is doing it. All the other at-home-business ideas seem swamped with people. There is potential for growth!
Con: The economy- will people be willing to spend $ on books for their kids?
Pro: Reading to kids is important
Con: $100.00 to start up.

What do you suggest????
