The R-E-A-L Housewives of Sumner County

Its hard to be transparent this day and age. It's hard to let the world know when you need help! When most people around you are doing perfectly fine; emotionally, financially, physically, spiritually, etc. It's just hard to admit that you're just not doing so well. But, people NEED transparency. They don't always need to think that everyone around them is doing SO much better than they are! Sometimes, there is freedom in just stating the TRUTH. So, I am here to state that we are not where we thought we would be at this time in our lives. A huge "thank you" to Obama and the economy. Gas is out of control. Healthcare is out of control. The economy is out of control. So, therefore, we are one of those families that have taken a huge hit and since we can't depend on the government to make changes to help us out, we are choosing to help ourselves as best we can. So, with that being said, we are starting a new venture this week! My sister and I are the new "cleaning ladies"! LOL We have been "hired" by my mom and Butch to clean their new 5 bedroom cabin each time guests check out. We have also been "hired" by Dennis to start cleaning some of his remodel jobs, insurance jobs, etc. when the contractors are finished working. We are excited about this new opportunity, mainly because it gives us the chance to help our families out financially. We have both been praying for a way to help our hubbies out and we feel that God has brought us this opportunity to not only contribute financially, but to also allow us to spend time together as sisters. My hope is that most of these jobs will be done while my kids are in school, so I can focus completely on them when they are at home. Pray for us as we begin our new journey as the modern day cleaning housewives! :) And, THAT RIGHT THERE is what it is like to be REAL housewives in todays economy!
