I am a 21 year old mother who enjoys reading and writing, but I never have the time for either anymore. Like right now, I am currently sitting here trying to figure out how to become a blogger, juggle school, and be a mom. I love writing so much, and sometimes that's all I think about doing. I want to make a career out of it, but my issue with writing is that I no longer have time to focus on writing because life has officially got in the way of everything.
I am a full-time mom who is looking to make more money and go to college online to have a better job, so there is no real time for me to sit down and actually write the things that are on my mind. When I do find the time, it is after everyone has went to sleep and it is late at night. When that happens, I have so much on my mind that it becomes a jumbled mess. I have actually tried to start writing a book more than one time, but I always end up quitting because it gets me nowhere. When I start writing something, I want to tell the full story right then and there instead of waiting it out and making the book longer. I am also really bad about straying away from the topic at hand, so I struggle bad.
Being a mom to a 10 month old, and currently a couple months pregnant with our second child, I look to continue being a stay at home mother. It gets hard every day because when I look at our finances, I see that we are constantly struggling. No I don't want to get a job because I want to stay home, but I need to get a job. I have tried to apply at so many work from home jobs that I have lost hope in those because they want more than they're willing to give you. I have applied to many jobs around us, but none of them will call back.
I am losing hope in the humanity anymore because when a mother tries to work, she can't be a mother. When she's a mother, she can't work a 9-5 job because kids get sick and so does she. This world has some funny expectations of mother's now days. I remember when the dad would go to work while the mom stayed home, and then dad's no longer want the responsibility of their children anymore. When they do that and the mother says she is leaving to make a better life for her and her kids, he can magically become a father suddenly. This is exactly how our world is today, and that is why it is hard to find a job for mother's.
I have looked on Google, Pinterest, Facebook, you name it I have looked for all types of jobs. Every time I find something I remotely like, it says you have to have a certain degree because that is also what the world is about. If I find one without requiring a degree, you have to have a computer with certain things.
Blogging has always been in the back of my mind, but I keep pushing it off because I am so scared to start doing this and then not ever see a result. I think that it would be a good coping mechanism for me as a mother, and as a person. I am going to give it a shot and hope for the best!
I hope that you guys enjoy this as much as I hope that I will! On the side, I will be doing customized stickers when I have time! I have tried to create a business with the customized stickers before I broke down to do this blog, but yet again I have been very unsuccessful. So maybe I can get more posts and things of the sort generating and going so i can be a stay at home mom and bring in enough money to help pay off debt, and to stay in the green!
