Hi,

    I'm an official "stay-at-home mom" now in part. I have exactly 12
    hours of paid childcare a week in which to run my business, I lose
    several hrs, a week of this to household stuff...so I figure I work
    about 20% of a full time job, this excludes the summertime weekends
    when I do perhaps 8 shows or so and . I used to be full time and do a
    full show schedule. 

    Right now I earn about 20% of what my husband does...which figured
    hourly is almost what my husband makes in his "real" job.  Of course,
    I don't get the health/401K type benefits but I do get an extremely
    flexible schedule which improves our family life. Although I almost
    hate to admit it, I had a good year this year. I did lose most of
    those $300 - $700 sales that really made it fun to be an artist
    though. I am now spending way more time than I want to on the $35 -
    $90 pieces, but I won't be complaining. I know a lot of artists that
    are working some pretty low skill jobs to get insurance and a
    guarenteed income these days. 

Karen
