"HOME" work

no not homework like from school. I mean HOME work...working from home. My husband tells me yesterday that he wants me to quit my job and stay home. To that I ask, "for what?" This 2 word question ended up as one of the most heated arguments we've ever had. I've never been the housewife type so it pissed me off that he was trying to make me become that. Look I'm sorry I don't think its necessary for me to vacuum, mop the kitchen, do laundry and scrub bathtubs and toilets everyday. I mean who does he think I am? Cinderella? Well anyways...back to my original point...I have ventured into the home business world and have even signed up with 4 different companies, wait 5. So my husband says I should just concentrate on those 5 businesses and forget about working outside of the home. The thing is, how am I supposed to "WORK" at home while doing all the things he wants me to do since I won't be working outside the home anymore? How am I supposed to concentrate on my businesses when he's already got a "chore" list waiting for me? I love the job I have, but he's right. It doesn't make the income that would actually be beneficial for us to send juju (my 4 month old) to daycare every other day. He calls my paychecks gas money. I should be happy that I don't have to work, but the thing is I really do enjoy it. And to that he added, well just work at home. How do I tell him that in order for me to work at home my "chore" list has to be drastically cut down?

To let go, or not to let go...

THAT is definitely the question. Older son "J" came home with his progress report today. NOT GOOD. Not even close. First things first, this morning I got a call from his teacher asking if I've seen and signed his take home folder for the past 3 weeks. When I said no, she informed me that he has signed my name for the past 3 weeks attempting to pass it off as my signature. She also informed me that he has not been doing his assignments...6 to be exact. When he got home, I almost blew up! I mean fifth grade and three F's and two D's? Come on. So here's the real problem. He and his brother "C" are supposed to be going to Colorado this friday to spend thanksgiving with their dad. My husband doesn't think I should let him go. And I pretty much feel the same way, but I had already mentioned to him that he still could go. Can I re-nig something like that? I don't know what to do. What am I supposed to say?

Welcome intro...

Hi y'all and welcome to my world. I'm a wife to one of the most accepting, honest, and Damn GREAT looking men on the planet and mom to 3 boys ages 10, 8, and 4 months. Being the only girl in my house is definitely a change of scenery for me considering I came from a family of all girls. Yeah its great to have all these men love me, but then again sometimes its just too much testosterone. Too much "ugh, me man, you girl...go cook or knit or something."
I work outside the home and am venturing into the home-business , business. So hope you enjoy and come back frequently to find out whats going on in my world.
