Well, I'm here!!!

[drknlvly6781]

This is my first personal journal entry. I joined cafemom on advice from a friend to promote my business, the Free Online Cash System, but I hope to gain more than that from here. I would like to build a network of friends that I can rely on for information, and support when its needed, and boy do I need it now.

First, I am a single mother that is living at home with my grandmother, grandfather, and two kids. This seems like the perfect thing, but its not. I am stressed constantly because I have no space that is my own. My kids father isn't in their life, and just recently he stopped supporting them financially. It hurts to see them come up without a true male role model in their lives, the same way I did. Sure they have their grandfather, but he is disabled and can't do much with them.

Second, I am working from home in the business I mentioned above. I am in the beginning phases of it, and haven't seen a good return just yet. Sure, I've had plenty of opt-ins, and I'm not giving up because its a great opportunity with no out of pocket costs to start. The founders of the program tell me it takes 90 days to see results with the program, which I understand, but still its frustrating not to see any income coming in when I am working hard on it five days out of the week. I won't quit though, I want to be the next Robert Puddy or Ewen Chia. In short, I want to be the first female household name when it comes to online marketing.

I've tried traditional jobs, but when you have two children, can't drive, and can't afford child care its very hard to keep one of those, so I choose to stay at home and work my business. I just can't wait until I can say that I've actually made money with this system.

I wish I had more moms to connect to, both those that work at home, and have traditional jobs. All my friends are either male, or single women without children. There are things that I can talk about with them, but most of my issues with the children fall on unknowing ears.

Finally, I will be an Aunt soon!!! My sister, who is married, just found out a couple of weeks ago that she is pregnant with her first child. I have to be strong for her because I have two children, and she looks up to me for support and advice. I will give her all she needs, but I hope that she doesn't ask me to babysit lol. I love kids, even my own, but I hardly get a break from the ones I have. I dont' want to lump yet another one, even if it is only for a few hours!!!

Well, so ends my first personal post in my journal. I know that I was all over the place, but there are a lot of things on my mind this week, today, this month, in general. Hopefully my future posts will make a lot more sense!!!
