Lately, I’ve been excited about the idea that if I move back into my parents house I may be able to sell baked goods as source of income. I got so excited about this idea, just yesterday I spent a lot of time on the internet browsing cupcake recipes and looking at how they are decorated. I researched prices on baking cups, and packaging (would still need those even for a side job!). I even thought, heck.. there’s no real bakery anywhere near my parent’s house, maybe I could eventually open one!!

Then today went by pretty smoothly, and I thought maybe it wouldn’t be so bad to live here after all. But just because today went well so far, doesn’t mean that anything has changed. My husband does not support my dreams or goals, and in fact, is entirely 100 percent against them. I can’t live with that! I don’t think anyone should have to live with a spouse that doesn’t support them in even the simplest of ways!

So yes, I do need to move back to my parent’s house. Yes, I still could possibly start selling baked goods as a side job, but no.. I can’t open a bakery there.  I want to live closer to my son, I want to be so close that I could pick him up for a weekend visit, on a lot of weekends. I don’t want to have to worry about the cost of plane tickets and renting a car every time I want to see my child, that’s not fair to him or to me.

Sometimes when you have doubts, you just need a little nudge in the right direction. This was my nudge. Now the only question is.. how much longer do I stay? I’d like to be here for my son’s birthday in late March, can I last almost 2 more months? On the other hand, the longer I stay here.. the longer it’s probably going to take for me to be able to move closer to him… life is such a two way street.
