After stalking Melissa on here for a bit last night, I took a look at a community called postsecret. I love it. Some of the posts are definitely 14 year old girls going through heartache...God, do I remember those days. But some of them are very insightful. I like it.
I need to find a second job. I'm thinking I could look for a job babysitting in the afternoons. If I go in to work on time (7), I can be off by 3pm and be an after school nanny. And there's plenty of families in the area. It's just a matter of advertising and all that crap. I thought about putting up some flyers at the grocery store and stuff, but who really stops and looks at those? And what percentage of those people have kids - since that's the audience that I'm targeting...Maybe I could go to some places where moms hang out...Babysitting's an easy job, easy cash money. We're so broke right now, it's ridiculous. I can't believe what a difference it is to have to depend on my own money, rather than my dad's. God, I was spoiled. I'm starting to understand what it is to be responsible with money...And I'm not too thrilled about it. Before, I always had Daddy as back up if I wanted to go shopping or get my nails done or overdraw my account or whatever. Can't do that anymore. I make pretty good money. It pays the bills. But that's it. Chris's paycheck is supposed to be the extra spending money, but when he isn't working, that means no money...Last week, he was late to work on Monday, so he decided to take the day off. He doesn't have anymore vacation, so that's one day with no pay. His employer has a points system where if you take one day off, you can take a second day off...kinda like a freebie. But again, he has no vacation or sick time left, so that's two days with no pay. He realizes around 10 pm that he never called the boss to let him know he wasn't coming in on Tuesday. STUPID!!!! He called the boss, boss said he couldn't tell Chris anything, but basically, if the higher ups wanted to fire my husband, they had a reason right there. Wednesday, Chris went in to try and beg for his job. It worked, he keeps the job, but was suspended for one day, with no pay. So that's THREE days with no pay. So his paycheck today is about $95...And I don't get paid again until next week. Less than $100 to get us both through the next week. It's going to be pretty impossible. I have to drive Terrie to the airport on Sunday, so that's a bunch of gas gone. Ugh. I hate being broke. I want to go out and buy some clothes so bad. Shopping is my therapy...When I get stressed out or upset about things, there are two things that make me feel better. Going shopping and getting my nails done...God, I sound so ... materialistic? Well, I am. Sorry. God, what a ramble. I'm going to find Sims2 downloads
...I'm sure I'll have more rambles later.
