Since my son has been born I have been working a lot. I have been able to spend more time with him in the last few days, since I had to evacuate my home due to the Waldo Canyon Fire. This was an unfortunate way of getting to spend time with him, but I am loving it. I didn't realize how much I have been missing in his life. Now I will be starting school in August as well as working full time, I will be missing a lot more.
What can I do? I want to spend more time with my boy. He is my life, and I do not want to miss him growing up. I need to find more ways to make money at home. I know there are great ways to make money, I just have not figured them all out. I signed up to sell photos yesterday, I am trying to write more online, so what else can I do?
The next few weeks I will be trying to figure this out. There are a lot of decisions to make, and I have to do what is rite for my son and I. Life is too short to be missing out on everything he is doing. I guess I will work hard the next few weeks to figure it all out. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.

Evacuated From Colorado due to Smoke From Waldo Canyon Fire
The Waldo Canyon fire is just miles from my home, and has burned over 17000 acres. The Springer fires was also just miles from my home in the other direction, it has burned over 1000 acres. Due to both of these fires I had to leave my home.My 12 month old son began to have breathing treatments due to the Springer Fire and once the Waldo Canyon fire started all you could see in the sky around us was a cloud of smoke.
I had to make a very hard decision. I left my home and my job so that my son and my mom could breathe. We are now sitting at a camp site near Custer, SD. I love camping, but I would love to be at home too. I do not know how long I will have to stay here, but I am hoping no longer than a week or two.
Financially this is the hardest part. I already live from one paycheck to another, and have been trying to get ahead. This is a big setback in every way possible. Because I have not been at my job for a year, I did not qualify for FMLA, so there was a chance of me not having a job to return to. My boss is fighting for me though, and I could not work with a better group of supportive people. They are fighting for my job, watching my house, and taking care of my cats. I love these people so much. If I do lose my job, it is not there fault and I know it.
I am praying for all of those that do not have a home to go back to, and all of the people that this has caused a disruption in there lives. I also pray for the men and women fighting to save homes and stop these fires that are going around Colorado.
