My life as a new mom

The Real World (and not the MTV show)

So I am very excited to be graduating from college finally but graduating from college brings up a whole new set of stressers! What am I going to do now??? First and foremost I'm going to be a mom and here is where the problem comes in, how can I both make money and be the mom I want to be? I need to make money but I really want to stay home with my daughter as much as possible. I know I have to make money but I just wish there was someway to do it at home. I was planning on substituting starting in August but I'm not sure if that will pay the bills or not. I figured substituting would allow for me to stay home a few days out of the week and still make money. I think this is still the best route to take but here is the one question left lingering. If I work a few days a week and the Mav has to go to daycare will my working just be paying for daycare? Who knew there would be so many questions. I thought life got easier after not having classes and homework to deal with, but I guess the real world is here now. YIKES! I'm not totally sure I'm ready for it. At least now when I'm job searching I can say, "I have a degree now pay me more!!!"
