I've done worse things for money

            Oh my, we now have great news. We are going home. Charleigh Joe has been discharged and she is on the mend. She told me the ice cream here was “too good”. I hope that she doesn’t want to stay just for the treats. I know that mama is ready for us to come home. We face timed her this morning and I’m not so sure she wasn’t drunk and I can’t blame her.
Oh lord, how am I going to pay for all of this? It’s just now sinking in that these “vacations and procedures, and hospital stays” are going to cost money and since I am barely making ends meet now, I need to explore my options….
            I already work full time taking extra call as I can, sell Mary Kay, it’s not doing as well as I had hoped but it’s still making some profit. I am an avid Craigslist reader, perhaps I could offer my “services” to those in need but I need to get the money up front on a PayPal account before they see me, otherwise I’m screwed. NO ONE is gonna pay money for as “standard” with this girl.
            Maybe there is someone out there who is looking for a soft, doughy, mother-like woman to boss them around? Someone they could large amounts of money to tell them how to do things, what they are doing wrong, and maybe do some of their laundry provided that they have the appropriate products. The appropriate products would be Gain original scent powder, fabric softener, and dryer sheets.         
            I highly doubt anyone out there needs a cranky housewife (on loan of course) so I guess I’ll just have to figure out other ways to pay these bills. I am quite skilled at a lot of different things, none of which my marital vows will permit me to do. I have a lot of kids but the law stands in the way of that one. I guess I could teach them to quilt or make Amish stoves or something.
 Matthew is a big boy who is capable of doing some manual labor, he just won’t want to turn over that money. Wyatt is quite a salesman and could help with the selling of these products. Cooper however, that may be a problem or a blessing. He is a “people person” who likes to get to know every single person he meets, complete with exchanging personal information and he also won’t let a sale get away. I may have the perfect combination if I can figure out what we can make. Damn those Amish for having the money for those commercials!
Jeremy can help with transportation and “other services”. I would release him to perform if the price was right. Now, we aren’t talking about 50.00$, it’s gotta be at least 2 Benjamin’s to get my attention, and some things are off limits.
Oh if I had been born rich instead of beau…poor. I wish that I could work at my leisure and have the money to provide a decent lifestyle for my family. I wish that I could be the best mom in the world, but I don’t know exactly what that means but, I’ve never gotten a trophy. I would settle for a trophy, any kind of trophy….
Oh well, I guess that Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital will just have to go on the list of people I owe money to and get their measly 50.00$ per month for the rest of my life. But if anyone knows someone looking for a Craigslist “mama”, please give them my name. I would be willing to stretch the work duties to include some non-penetration motherly activities such as baths, diaper changes (you must provide your own diapers), nursing and naptime. This of course will be on the more expensive end of my services. I will not wash bottles, provide diapers, diaper cream, and formula/juice.

If any of this sounds like it could be “your cup of tea” and you have the Ben’s to back it up, look for me on Craigslist, codename Mary Kay!
