Making money

That is what I need to do. But how?
I have looked at all these different web pages on ebooks, ad sense, affiliates, online marketing but only end up with an awful headache!
I kind of understand that I need to make a home page in a niche market but what. The people making money seem to be the ones who are writing about making money.
With hubby spending the best part of the month in hospital we are really facing problems. He was hoping to work with MIL on the land but his condition prevents him from doing any heavy work!! So that means one line of income has gone. He sells books on line but that is up and down and because he been away for so long he has to basically restart!!
I teach English but have very students at the moment!
So back to googling see what I can find!!!!

Got the Christmas Tree up

Yes I know it is early but I love getting the tree up. The younger kids helped, teenagers aren't that interested in putting the tree up but of course want the presents and food!!!

I made cookies and cakes so this evening we will watch a movie and have a nice evening together.

Going Crazy

Hubby is still in hospital, looks like he will be there until the end of the month. His kidneys are rather bad, which is worrying. According to the doctor with medication and diet he should be able to recover. So a low protein diet is on the cards, basically vegetarian. Poor guy, he says that salads and vegetables are rabbit food! Also have will have to stop salt and caffeine. So I have been googling that for the past few days!
And yes I am going crazy. We live in the countryside, which is lovely, but I don't drive and it is difficult to get around. There are no stores, doctors, dentists or schools nearby. Last week I walked to the nearest store, took 20 minutes, but the store is really expensive and of course I have to go again.
The other night I got talked into a game of chess with D. He got me into check, nothing unusual, I couldn't figure out what to do and sat there for a while, when I got a great idea. I tried to take my own king with my queen. The kids thought it funny and I was rather embarrassed. Then to make it worse, H, who is six, showed me how to get out of check! So that is me going crazy.

Hubby is doing better

My hubby has been in hospital for one week today. Feels like the longest week of my life!
He is doing a lot better, his blood pressure is down which was the most important thing.
He had a check up with a sleep doctor. Seems to think that my husbands snoring and sleep
apnea might have contributed to the high blood pressure. Today he had his kidneys checked.
At home we are muddling through. It tough and very frustrating. One thing I have learnt is that I should not rely on my hubby so much. Time to grow up and take some responsibility. So I have to seriously study Japanese. Oh bother!!!

Shock

My computer has been playing up and not allowing me to access my blog.
Well life has certainly thrown me a curve ball.
We moved to my MIL's house in May. She lives in the countryside, the house is small
but we have a massive yard. We planned to convert the storage area into a Granny Flat as I know that living together would be hard. This hasn't happened. We were hoping that the income from selling the trees and plants that she grows would be a deposit for this but the market is very bad and there is basically no income.
The last week was the week from hell. MIL had yet another of her total melt downs, all over some misplaced toilet mats. She got so mad, accusing me of hiding them, that I should know where they are. There are 7 people living here, I have a hard enough time keeping on top of where the kids school books are, plus clothes for everybody, I'm sorry but toilet mats are at the bottom of my list. She upset my oldest son who punched a hole in the wall! So that is the end. We went to social services and they will come and see her next week.
The same time as all this is going on at home my youngest boy comes home upset. He had been kicked in the stomach during break time so went back to classroom. The kid who kicked him followed with 2 or 3 other kids. They pulled the chair out from my son, threw a ball at him and told him to drop dead!!! I was already upset because of our home situation so this was really bad timing. Husband and I went to the school and spoke for three hours. I told the headteacher that if he wanted C back at school then the bullies must be removed from the classroom. His option was to remove from C from the class. This got me mad. My son is the victim here why should he be separated from the class. If the school has the resources then the bullies should be taken out not the victim.
Then to just top my week off hubby got sick. He went to the local doctor with what he thought was a cough. Turns out that it was a symptom of congestive heart failure. So he is in hospital and will be for a couple of weeks. He seems to be responding well to the medication but this is a long hard hill to climb.
So I am left to cope with four kids and a batty old woman. I think I'll reserve a bed in hospital after my hubby gets out to rest!!!
