So Much to Say, So Little Time

I know that I've went and gone ghost again. I really don't intend to do that but these days I just don't have the time for online activities like I used to with working an essentially full time (and then some) job.
However, there are sure a lot of frustrations. I hate the fact that I don't have the time that I would like to have for my personal interests. Then there is the fact that my husband has had a bad winter with getting ill and such so the burden of all of the bills has fallen on me.
I really want to be able to go with my family on a trip this summer to the cape (I've never been to New England) but I simply have to figure out a way to come up with more money in order to be able to do it. That trip is two and a half months away if I am going to be able to do it.
Does anyone have any suggestions at all for ways for me to come up with a couple thousand extra dollars in the next couple of months?

@rebelann1949 I'm anxiously awaiting swago to start. Here it is well past 9 am but I believe the site is 3-4 hours behind me.

Nice to see you, dorannmwin! I'm still the stay-at-home mom . . . I thought with the kids getting older, I'd have more time - but honestly it seems I have less time. I have little nuggets of time to be here - that's about it. If I could get a thousand per month online, I would keep doing it all year 'round . . . but I know that is a long shot - at least for me. If I absolutely needed the money - I guess I'd try to get rid of stuff and sell them locally (books, old kids clothes, toys, furniture, etc). I'd make my home budget extra tight for the sake of saving for the trip (no eating out, no buying extras, etc). Trade in my extra gift cards that I won't use for cash (isn't there a website for that?). In any case, I would try to find ways to come up with the money in "real life" . . . online it takes too long and really not worth the time.

Do you have things you can sell? Consider selling things on eBay and OfferUp. If it is clothing there is other places for that as well. Maybe think of offering Cleaning someones house or part of their house for $$, or help do Taxes, etc. Invent new ways to come up with extra money and if it is meant to be, then it will happen

Oh boy a couple thousand dollars in just a couple months wouldn't be very easy. I really do hope that you can come up with a way as it would be so wonderful. You deserve a nice break after all that hard work.

It definitely does sound as though there's a lot on your plate. Maybe you can sell something, make some crafts or something. Maybe you can search for some ways to earn a few extra bucks. I hope that you manage to find some ways to earn a little bit more.

If I knew that secret I wouldn't have to do any mylotting. :-)
