Money Tree, Where Art Thou?

I recently started contemplated a return to work. Except this time around, I have two children and a mom who will no longer be my daycare provider. So looking into daycare made me realize I can't afford to go back to work. How sad is that? I mean, $8/hour for daycare...are you serious?! I'd barely net enough to justify spending 40 hours away from my munchkins.

This sucks. For real. I need to figure out a way to work from home. IDEAS! Anyone have any ideas?

The Recession's Still a Brewin'

You know times are tough when stores like K-Mart are running television ads for their layaway options. I wasn't even aware layaway was still around. Growing up in a humble (aka poor) household, my mom lived by the 'shop now, pay bits at a time' practice. I'm familiar. I just couldn't use it because I'm a gen-x'er...I'm all about instant gratification.
