Be Your Own Boss! Yeah, I long ago reconciled myself to not being the breadwinner. And, yeah, all the paying jobs I've had were only "paying" in the broadest sense of the word. And, yeah, I hated most of them, even the ones that weren't legal temping. And, yeah, taking care of the kids is the most rewarding job I've ever had.

Still, it's kind of depressing when the first check you've seen in months with your own name on it is only forty dollars... and it's just a rebate check for some software you bought a while back.
