Sometimes I feel a little guilty. We are struggling big time over here, but we did make this decision together. I wish I could go and spend a little money on myself sometimes. But, it's worth it to be able to SAH. I love being a SAHM, and wouldn't even consider putting DS in a daycare. What's the point!?!? So he can get sick every other week and he has to share the attention of one caregiver to how many other kids? And I get to pay for it? 
: No way. Besides being as frugal as I can be so we save money, I also try to sell plasma at least once a week. It gives me an hour to read my book each time, a little alone time, and I am doing something good for a person who is in need of plasma, such as hemophiliacs or burn victims. 
DH stays with DS, and it gives them one-on-one time as well. Bonus, if I go twice a week, it's forty-seven bucks. (20 first donation, 27 second donation) That's just under 200 bucks a month, for about eight or nine hours. More money than I've ever made for 8 hours worth of doing nothing....
