So I have been seriously thinking doing something "different" than my current job. For those of you who know me, the last few years have been very trying with my job. I am fortunate to only work part-time, and yet at the same time, what happens in those few days leave me so mentally exhausted. I do have my Reading endorsement and am seriously considering leaving the "classroom" for a bit and possibly being a Reading Specialist. We shall see. However...
I have some SUPER creative/talented people around me. I have friends who are photographers, so they don't have the 9-5 jobs, but they have jobs where they can use those creative abilities. I have another good friend who has started an online baby/kids boutique and makes such cute accessories for kids and actually makes money doing it. Do I have those abilities? Ummmm, I think not.
So what can I do?? I am not a "salesperson", so doing things that requires "recruiting people" for a service/party is not my thing. I know people can make money with Mary Kay/Pampered Chef/Candle/Jewelry parties but once again, the non salesperson part of me "feels bad" for asking people to come to these things.
Sigh, any ideas? Different things that I can do "from home" that would help bring in a few dollars?

I watch two children two days a week and make 400.00 a month....what about spending two day's a week cleaning house...my friend does that and makes 800.00 a month. In Portland area you could maybe make more!
Praying God gives you a creative idea for how you can stay home and still make some money! That is such a hard question - and one I think all of us have asked at one time or another. I think the key is finding something you enjoy doing and figuring out a way to make money doing it. But that is much easier said than done! :) I spent a lot of time last year working on my little creative business and didn't make much money to show for it. I did enjoy it...I just wish it was more profitable :) So I am still trying to figure it out myself!
Go for the reading endorsement Lori! I know if I had one, I might try leaving the classroom. You'd still be in a field you are familiar with (& are VERY good at) yet be relived of the pressures of a classroom teacher.
