10 Things to do When Unemployed

 What is a middle-aged mom wantreprenuer to do?

1. Write a children's book.  Don't all moms go through this phase after having a child or two?  Me. "Oh I'm so creative as a parent let me tella you a children's story."
2. Revive an old business or hobby.  Or watch Flea Market Flip and think I will re-purpose junk.
3. Calculate unemployment over and over.  Yep still no more money than the last calculation on my calculator.  Damn it feels stupid to even use a calculator to figure the weekly sum.  Not lump sum just so we are clear. 
4. Cry.
5. Download an e-book on how to trade options but never read it.
6. Stay with me... I'm being as honest a possible!
7. Go through the list of skills you don't have, "I can't do this, I can't do that." Or my fave - Imagine what you could be like George Costanza in Seinfeld. Architect anyone?!
8. Contemplate baby-sitting for supplemental income although I can't imagine having a 3rd child around.
9. Contemplate doing some sort of voyeuristic porn like pumping breast milk while ironing in my tummy control panties, no?  Well I have to admit when I watch Shameless I am envious of the ways the characters come up with to make money.  Just saying..
10. Troll Facebook at 3 a.m. or Dlisted,  I prefer the later.  Every time I go onto Facebook someone has posted an "online sticker" with an inspirational quote on it! WTF is this the best middle-aged people can come up with?
