I recently had a friend ask me if I would consider watching her two children when she goes back to work full time. It would be a paid postion so that would be good but then there is that part of me that has been like " I will never do child care full time for work...it's just not me." So is God just testing me by answer our prayers for $ by giving me a job i don't really want, or am i really that good at child care that God is like "don't be stupid, you'd do great!" kind of thing. Either way, i think God has quite the sense of humor.
Ah, i almost forgot I would be watching a 2 year old, and a newborn. LOL...i laugh now cause maybe God's trying to prepare me for a big family...lol...i just don't know. Need some thoughts, and please make some humerous ones, i need a good laugh to go along with this plate of humility.

hmmm.... two year old, Ellie, newborn.
Is this friend satisfied just to come home and find you all alive?
That's a lot of bodily functions to deal with.
But then again, they go home at the end of the day....
It could work! You are doing child-care anyway, why not???
yeah, that's what i've been thinking. We've really been praying and considering it alot. I think though some things would really have to fall into place, like being able to trade in our car for a mini-van. I think I would go crazy if i couldn't go any where with the kids, as well as needing a double stroller for the babies, for walks and such. Other than that i think we could make it work. And we could use the extra money to save for carl's schooling, trips, and some other little things...
Lot's to consider and pray about still.
I'm a little late on the commenting but I understand your back and forth...I am taking on a new adventure teaching some home school kids once a week....
Your husband knows you best and some of it the question is emotional and physical energy...
I think you have the capabilities and it definitely will help monitarily, but you have to weigh that against the stress and energy.
Also, Ellie is getting bigger and not as dependent with consant nursing like the first month or so and having other kids around do help.
I don't know if this has helped at all but these are my thoughts...
