General Goings-on

I know I haven't posted in a little while. I'm in a bit of a funk lately. Things have been really slow at my primary job the last couple of weeks and I'm getting frustrated. During my down-times (which have been frequent) I find myself wondering if I'm in the right place. I'm becoming less and less satisfied with where I am, but have very little time to do anything about it. Between my regular job, my part-time job, 5 kids and church activities I barely have time to sleep!
I have done this much, though:
1) I sent my resume in to two different companies for a position as a writer of academic research papers. (pay is anywhere from $8/pg to $20/pg)
2) I've been looking into starting a freelance writing career. I've begun taking some of the things I've already written to see what may be viable material.
Hopefully things will get better soon.
