Slacker

Let's face it, I'm a slacker.  A slacker at blogging, at cleaning, hell even lately I'm slacking at watching T.V., my DVR hasn't been this full in months.  I'm sure that some of you notice that it has been a long time since I have complained about dealing with school work, well that's because I'm a graduate.  Yes it's true, 3 1/2 years and $70,000 later I got a small piece of paper in the mail saying I now have a Bachelor's Degree.  I dreamed of this time.  I thought about all of the things I could get accomplished when I didn't have to spend hours doing or complaining about homework.  Well the time has come and I have turned into a first class slacker.

I still clean the same amount I did before (just enough), I don't blog as much as I would like, and I sometimes feel that I don't even give as much attention to Mason as I should.  All of this so called "free time" I thought I would have is now consumed by going to bed at a decent hour (I didn't realize how much of my homework got done around 2 am) and reading.  Oh man have I been reading.  I discovered our wonderful local library and I have been going through about a book a day.  I know... nerd alert!  Well I think it is time to put down the books and get motivated.

It is time to face the facts that I need a J.O.B. bad.  I have a lot (a looottt) of student loans to pay off.  I don't want, or expect, my husband to pay these off since I am the one that made the (misguided) choice to go to the school I attended.  Leaving Mason is not going to happen.  I can't.  Literally I cannot imagine leaving my son to go to a job that would barely cover what I would have to pay the babysitter.  It just isn't worth it to me.  Since my options are basically limited to starring in internet porn or babysitting for another family I have decided to (obviously) become a babysitter.  Unless any of you have a better idea for how to make money from home without leaving my child that doesn't involve a scam or getting naked :)

This new venture isn't ideal, but it will hopefully allow me to earn enough to pay off my loans and stay home with Mason.  I'm sure it will take some adjusting to but it's better than the alternative. Let's just hope I find someone willing to let me watch their child while I have Mason and pay me lots too!
