I am working Wednesday & Thursday now, so just very part time. It is my goal to be a full time SAHM by February 2010 and it's looking good! If I could sell my car, I could stay home now but I don't think selling my car is going to happen just yet. Here are the main 2 reasons why:
1. I am not actively posting it. I did post on Craigslist once and put a flyer up @ my husband's job. But other than that, I haven't been too motivated because of the next reason.
2. I owe too damn much! When I financed the car I have now, I traded in another car in that I owed more than it was worth, so I had to roll my leftover loan from that car onto my new loan. DON'T EVER DO THAT! I would owe $3,000 less if I hadn't done that (although I wouldn't have been able to get the car!) Oh, and I don't have any money saved to put towards the car so I can sell it for less, so I have to sell it for what I owe, or really close to it.
Anyway, today is going to to pretty quickly, I think. I work from 8:30am to 1:30pm. I am supposed to be working 7 hours a day. I wanted to work Monday/Tuesday but my boss needs me on Thursdays to help with childcare @ a live-in drug & alcohol recovery center. Since I don't want to work split days, my only other option would be Wednesday & Thursday because I will not work Fridays- I haven't worked a Friday in 2 years and I love it that way. The reason why I can't work 7 hours today (or any Wednesday) is because my flexible job allows me not to use childcare so I only work when my daughter is in school. And at her new school, she gets out early every Wednesday.
I have to admit, I am a little bit worried that I'm not bringing in enough money. I am selling quite a bit on ebay but I have only sold $7 worth of items on Craigslist. I need to repost my Craigslist items and keep on top of it because it's my goal to go shopping at Goodwill outlet 1x per week. I figure if I can do that, I should be able to sell enough to bring in a sufficient amount of money. But in order to do that, I need to sell what I'm buying!
