I started to re-read "The Power of a Positive Mom" by Karol Ladd. According to a study done just over 10 years ago, a stay-at-home mom should make just over $507,000 a year. With homeschooling thrown into that mix, I should make about $35,000- $40,000 more than that... give or take depending on the state. Wow! We could be millionaires by now if I actually got paid! We would drive that extra- large SUV, live in a house by the ocean, fly to visit family whenever we wanted, liposuction could be a reality (lol), and a personal trainer... the girls could each have their own high- end surf boards and any gaming system they wanted...
But I don't get paid. We have a nice car (more like a cross-0ver type of thing), take $10 lessons on a borrowed surf board, play on the Wii we were given as a Christmas gift, and I am continuously on a diet and riding my elliptical an hour every day. I pray and God provides. That's all there is to it. Prayer.
