I run a licensed daycare in my home. For the most part we have had ups and downs with kids coming and going but this has been the toughest financial dry spell we've had. Currently there are 3 kids coming full time but we need 5 to stay afloat (I'm licensed to watch 8). Jason goes to school full time and works nights part time. I have the daycare and go to school in the evenings. I also sell Avon, DoTerra, and sew for a local boutique. My Avon and DoTerra sales are virtually nil and the sewing isn't steady. I am at a loss as to what else to do with the little free time I have left in a week. My husband suggested he quit school to go back to working full time. That was sweet but he is so close to finishing college, just a year and a half left. I have not gone through supporting our family this long while he's at school only to have him quit so near the end. I told him I would leave him if he did that...and I meant it.
I started going to Marinello's School of Beauty this past May. I will be finished by the end of next summer. At the moment that seems so far away. I am studying to be an Esthetician. I prayed a lot about going back to school and I felt spiritually shoved in this direction of education. I am loving school and all that I am learning. For me it has been a delight. I am hoping it will lead to a steady income once I have graduated.
In the mean time, what now? I am going to distribute more flyers in local stores and even branch out to schools and may even go door to door.
All I ask for in the way of help are your prayers.
