Surprisingly Insightful

Now that the kids are getting older, I have been having some serious thoughts about returning back to work. But, I really don’t want to go back into the service industry or the retail field. One area where I would love to work would be in the IT industry. This industry is quickly becoming one of the fastest growing fields in the job market and is also showing itself to be one of the better paying careers in the job market. But to become successful in this industry, I really need to get a Cisco certification.

Thankfully I have come across a site that can help me to get my Cisco certification quite easily and quickly. Over at this site I have found lots and lots of information regarding the program as well as information on how a person just like me can be Cisco certified. They also have testimonials from past clients who were extremely happy with their services.

For a 40 year old stay at home mom who is seriously thinking about heading out to the workforce, this field seems to be a dream come true. Not only is there a lot of room for advancement and growth in this field, but the pay that comes with a certification with this career will help me to help the children in all their life’s endeavors. So if your thinking about re-entering the workforce, or your just unhappy in your current job, then I strongly suggest that you check out this site to discover just how you can get started in a wonderful new career that you are bound to be extremely happy with.

Most of you may not be aware of this, but I have set up a small crafting business over at Simply Crafting. Here you will find all the projects that I have personally made up for sale. Most of the inventory of the inventory that I have for sale is homemade jewelry. I have had a couple of sales from my site. But I haven’t sold nearly the amount of jewelry that I want to.

I was contacted today from a friend of mine who is having a yard sale on Saturday. She asked me if I would like to participate in it and try to sell some of my jewelry. So I figured why not. Even if I don’t sell a thing on Saturday the only thing I will have wasted would be my time. So I’m off to a yard sale on Saturday and hopefully the first of next week I’ll be able to come in and post that I’ve sold a ton of jewelry.

While I was surfing the Internet the other day I came across this term, Litigation Financing, and was quite intrigued as to what it meant. So I did a little more browsing and this is what I came up with.

Companies like LawMax are available to help you get your settlement money form a lawsuit or claim than if you went through the normal channels. They realize that you need your money that is due to you in a timely manner and they make every effort to help you get you money faster. They have the money available to help you get your settlement quicker. You make no payments to them until your case settles and if there is no recovery, then you keep their investment and owe them nothing. Honestly, this is a great idea if your waiting for any type of settlement or claim.

I’ve been posting quite a bit about my latest venture. That would be the home crafting business that I’m trying to get up and running. When it’s all said and done I would like to sell quilts, knitted products, plastic canvas products and of course my homemade jewelry. So this is a post to give you all a sneak preview of things that I will eventually be selling. I haven’t been working really hard at the selling part yet as I’m trying to build up my inventory. But, I will show you a couple of pictures that will eventually be up for sale. So enjoy looking at the pictures and please leave me a comment to let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you all.

A little over a month ago I filled out our taxes and sent it away.  My husband is suppose to get a substantial refund back (if I did it right) and I will be getting a smaller refund back.  Now I realize that it takes time to go through the snail mail system and back again, but since it’s been a little over a month I have started hounding the mail lady again. lol

One of my worst faults in life (besides smoking, and that’s another post) is I absolutely hate to wait.  I’m am probably the most impatient person on the face of this planet.  And I especially hate waiting if I know there is something good coming.  But, because I sent my tax forms through snail mail, I have no choice but to wait.  But I don’t want to!!

Last week my husband and I were discussing our financial situation.  I don’t work outside of the home, so any income I can earn online is the only income that I bring in the house.  He does work full time, so all our bills are getting paid and there is food on the table, but there isn’t a lot left over for the extra stuff that we or the kids would like.

In May I left a job that I had had for almost seven years.  So due to our financial situation right now, I did offer to go back to work.  I really don’t want to and the kids don’t want me to either.  But, if it would help us out I was willing to do it.  Thankfully, after much discussion, we decided that it wouldn’t really pay for me to go back.  If I’m paying out half my paycheck to a babysitter, then really what is the point of working.  So for right now, I’ll stay home and try to earn a little extra online.
