Life or Something Like It

There are a lot of things going on lately, though they all point back to one thing. I am working hard to make money online. After all we are now saving money for a house and still working toward a future where we work for ourselves. This has kept me up working with the hopes that I can come up with something that moves me from making $300 to more then that a month. I think I have finally gotten to the point where I can easily make at least $300 a month, but more then that gets trickier. Hopefully I will see a boost by the end of this month...

I loved the month that I made $720, but that was a different issue. The reward-athon was going on so a portion of that money came from my guaranteed $3 an article. Now I am not making anything that secure, so it is a little harder!

Well, I am trying Squidoo again...I would be very happy if you might want to visit some of my lenses there...

Last Night

Last night I was having a hard time sleeping and as such I was sitting at the computer working at 12:30 am. A knock came at the door and freaked me out. At first all I could think of was that there was an emergency with Peter's parents or his siblings. After all, it was late and why was some one knocking on the door. I rushed up to the door and looked through the peep whole where I couldn't see anything. I went to the bedroom and woke Peter up just before the mystery person at the door started knocking near our bedroom slider (which goes out to our closed in patio, he was reaching over to knock on the bedroom wall).

Peter got up and threw some shorts on and greeted a man at the door. This man was knocking on our door (and would have been waking us up had I not already been awake) because he had supposedly locked his keys in his car and he wanted to know if we had anything that would let him break into his car and get his keys. I feel bad if that's what happened, but he shouldn't have been coming around knocking on random doors at 12:30 in the morning. Plus, what if it wasn't his car?

Who Am I?

I have been struggling with this question for some time now. To answer the question, "Who Are You?" You often have to use roles you play, things you love, and passions that you have. It is hard to cram all of who you are into a profile page, bio, or "About Me" section. It is like asking you to describe a flower in a single word. With time, this is who I have discovered myself to be.

Wife.

While I don't always know what it means to be a wife and I sometimes struggle with what I think I should be doing even though I don't have the time. I am a wife and I love being a wife. I have been married for about two and a half years to a wonderful man who makes me fell loved, charished, and beautiful.

Mother.

While not always a glorified term to use, and sometimes a difficult role to play, I am a mother. I have a beautiful baby boy (well he is currently 19 months, so he is almost a big boy now). He is a handful and all boy, but I am his mom and love him anyway.

Writer.

I have claimed this title for years. Writing is my passion while for ages I didn't make money doing it, I am now making more then I ever imagined by writing online.

Artisan.

I enjoy working with a wide variety of crafts. I have a particularly strong passion for beadwork and jewelry making, as well as soap making and bath and body products (I have blogs with both subjects: Beautiful Beads and Jewelry and The Soap Suds).

Dreamer.

My husband and I are both dreamers. Our dream includes my income online becoming big enough to replace his income (from his 60 hour a week job) so that we can both stay home and write, work on our crafts, raise our children, keep our house, and homeschool. The goal is for my earnings to be enough by 2011.

This of course is just a start to defining who I am. But in it, you can see that I wear many hats and enjoy a wide open and beautiful world. I would love to hear from you, "Who are you?"
