I am gonna save and make money...somehow, someway. Even if it involves selling my family!

Who in this "economy" is not looking for a little more green in their wallets? Talk about a cliche'! I am sick to death of the housing market, sick of my hubby's pathetic paycheck and sick of being in debt. How do I cure these blues? (oh so much fun with color this morning!) Well, aside from all things practical...I did get a job, it just hasn't started yet and I am completing my Masters in the fall. So in the meantime I find interesting ways to make ends meet.
1. I farm out my husband as a "model" ( I know, kind of like Kramer modeling underwear.) Kevin is a character and has a "look" apparently, so why not take advantage of it? He has a billboard somewhere in Seattle where he is dressed up as a doctor selling insurance. Whatever works. Currently I am trying to get him on game shows. Being a teacher he has had to miss some great castings. Not even sure if he enjoys it...that is me, always trying to get him his 15 seconds of fame. But it's fun, for me!
2. Got 3 kids. Cute enough, hell, they can model too! My 3 kids have modeling contracts...sounds super-pageant Mommy. NOT. They model for a company where I take the pics (I am a photographer) and we get paid in clothes. Perfect for this family and no creepiness involved. They just got in, so I will let you know if it really works out. My 3 year old has another contract through a real agency but has yet to get a decent casting. Doubt he could sit still for 30 seconds to even get a photo. Maybe is they were doing a shoot for candy and needing hyper-active kiddos!
3. A.Get husband enlisted in the Navy. This one is not working so well as my "better half" is not so game on my new idea. I want all the groovy benefits, free housing and more. B. Get husband teaching for Dept of defense...this one may have legs. They pay WAY more for teaching than regular schools and they pay to move us and house us. I am IN, baby! I would honestly move anywhere as I am up for a new adventure.
4. I am going back and forth between buying lottery tickets and robbing a bank. I have a sinking suspicion that neither will bode well....so much for trying!

baby Love...

If only they stayed this sweet and cute...

I would have a million babies. Watch out Duggars, you have got competition! Wait. Hold that thought...I have an adorable 3 year old that reminds me non-stop why I don't have a million little tykes padding along the carpet. They grow up, damn it. First it's the crawling...once that starts, it's all over people! You are on constant look-out for choking hazards. My baby currently enjoys a good periodical for munching. I often swipe bits of chewed newspaper and magazine from the inside of his cheeks. Then the walking...which really means," I am finally up and the only way to go is down" ie: FALLING. How is something so natural so dangerous? I have thought of padding the kids in football gear and helmets to avoid any damage. But people tend to look at you funny when your toddler is in full pads and a mouth guard when you are checking out at Safeway. Especially when she is a girl. Oh but I do love a good baby. Mine is literally moments from crawling, so I will change my mind, soon. Then it will be first words...which we all know eventually leads to talking back. Oh, why do they have to grow up?
