Here is how I feel about that concept.<\/p>\n
Just kidding. It\u2019s more like this.<\/p>\n But that\u2019s okay. I am going to make the most of it. I have finally decided to make my income by concentrating full-time on Ebay and freelance writing. Sounds like a weird mix, but it works.<\/p>\n Writing Clients<\/strong><\/p>\n Blogging for a surrogacy company \u2013\u00a0GlobalIVF<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Bloggin for a prescription discount company \u2013\u00a0SimpleRX<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Ebay<\/p>\n Here\u2019s my store<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0I am figuring out the most efficient ways to list, sell and ship my items. The ultimate goal is less thrift store items and more New with Tag items purchased downtown. I figure if I buy the same item in bulk, I only have to list it once rather than taking a gazillion photos\/day. Other than filling orders, I can spend my time taking care of my wee ones and working on my book marketing which leads me to my final two points:<\/p>\n 1.\u00a0My kids are not so wee anymore:\u00a0<\/strong>Stink\u2019s hair is threatening to take over space, and my daughter is getting hips. I feel so strongly that I\u2019d rather have a little less money but more quality time with my kids. Actually, what I\u2019d like is a ton of money and time with my kids but I\u2019ll take the second if held at gunpoint.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0My book is being published:<\/strong>\u00a0I am excited to say I have a publisher for my book. It\u2019s a boutique agency who has followed by writing for a while.\u00a0Happily Ticked Off<\/em>\u00a0will hit bookstores, libraries and Amazon in September. Stay tuned for details and giveaways as it gets closer.\u00a0Here is the publishing house\u2019s website and my write-up<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n More Blogging Here<\/strong><\/p>\n In addition to all the above, plan on finding more of my regular writing on this here blog. LIke this report on Stink\u2019s tics.\u00a0They are dramatically reduced\u00a0thanks to these supplements:<\/p>\n As you may recall, Stink had some pretty consistent vocals this year. We\u2019re talking almost nine months of a quacking hiccup. When I put him on NAC they didn\u2019t subside. But when I put him on the Taurine and Cal Mag Citrate, they almost went away within a week. I don\u2019t know if the NAC helps in the combo or if it\u2019s just the Magnesium and Taurine. I\u2019m not taking the chance for now. He takes all 3 combos morning and night (one pill each).<\/p>\n I am honestly relieved to have less noise in the house, but as I often write about, I\u2019m in a lot of acceptance about tics these days. Stink remains hilarious and eccentric and himself. I can\u2019t really afford to cry anymore about something he\u2019s not crying about.<\/p>\n Well, gotta go. Farmer Stacey is in town. She\u2019s my friend with the 5 boys who lives on 20 acres in Northern California. We met when I wrote on Baby Center and she was a reader, pregnant with her fifth. I somehow didn\u2019t scare her off. We met in real life last month for the first time and she\u2019s back again this weekend. We have had so much fun. I think the highlite of her trip was\u00a0hanging out with the kids and me at 94 year old Grandma Stella\u2019s mobile home park. She got to witness first hand Stella\u2019s assessment of my terrible cooking, dirty housecleaning and big boobs. Plus she had more food and Italian trivia pushed on her than a millionaire at a used car lot.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve missed you all so! Leave a comment and let me know how you and your beautiful kids are doing. As always:<\/p>\n May God grant you the serenity to accept the tics you cannot change, change the tics you can, and have the wisdom to know the difference.<\/em><\/p>\n Follow me on\u00a0Facebook<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Twitter<\/a><\/strong>. I would love to connect with you.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n![\"1\"](\"https:\/\/tickedattourettesyndrome.files.wordpress.com\/2015\/05\/1.jpg\")
