Today was the BIG day...Michael got his first paycheck from the new job. wait...don't get too excited. We were quite disappointed when we realized how much would be taken right away with taxes, retirement, and insurance. It made me question if I could really do the whole SAHM thing. It was almost like a punch in the stomach...I am having the best summer ever being home with Anne everyday. I took this and #1 panicked #2 cried a little #3 DECIDED to get MOTIVATED!!! I can either get a job and pretty much work to put Anne in daycare OR work my tush off to create things for hello dearie. I am choosing the latter. Up to this point, hello dearie has pretty much been for fun or a creative outlet, whereas now I will need to rely more on the little income it brings. I do know that God has always provided for us, and trust that we have made the right choice. It really feels great to walk in faith :)
With all that said...I have to make myself a schedule of some sort...make a list and check things off. I know so many of you are productive people...how do you do it??? One thing I have got to do is get off this dang computer. I am so addicted to reading blogs, facebook, twitter, google, and whatever my mind can think of and before I know it ALL of my free time is gone....am I alone in this?

Anyway...sorry to dump all that out there. I really am excited to have a little push to get back into "creative mode" :)
