How Quickly Everything Changes. Are You Prepared?
simplesahm | August 8, 2007 In yesterday's post, I talked about my son's recent hospitalization and how thankful I was that I was able to spend every moment with him without worrying about work issues.
Today, I've been obsessing about our medical bill that will be arriving shortly. I really don't have a clue what we are going to owe and I am anxious to find out so we can plan accordingly.
Ever since I started working from home my income has always been used to pay for the "extras". My husband's income pays our mortgage and related bills. My income covers groceries, dining out and other family activities.
Ironically, we just got our tax return at the beginnin
g of the month. We were thrilled. "Traci, you can take a bit of a break now and focus more on the house and kiddos", my husband assured me. Even though I love my business and wasn't planning to slow down, it was nice to know that there was a bit of a safety net in place.
Within a week, everything changed. Rather than thinking about spring cleaning and decorating projects I am wondering if I need to put in additional hours "Ebaying", proofreading or writing. I am not dreaming about planting a spring garden or painting my daughter's room anymore. Suddenly, I am back at work...with a vengeance.
