I've worked at home 2 days this week. If this keeps up, I might have to mention they don't pay me enough to drive over here every day. Emilie is looking at a new job that starts at 6 am! I'm trying to work with her, suggesting Dave drop her off with me on his way to his first inspection in the morning. At least that would start me at 7 versus 5:30. I think I want to cry! I talked to Tony before this began that I was interested in quitting them since I still haven't gained any new clients. We barely make enough to get by at this point. His work is random and not consistent. Though mine is consistent, it still stings I make below the poverty line with a 4 year college degree under my belt. I made twice this in SD. It's so frustrating. Dave had a "dispute" with a coworker and wants to change jobs, too. I have terrible timing. I was going to talk to them about it then everything changed. Though, at this point my argument would be they could find a home day care for much less than what they're paying me. Since Emilie changing jobs would be a huge pay cut.
I started making my own house hold cleaner a couple months ago. I love it! I think I'm going to order some essential oils as soon as I can fit into our budget to "flavor" it. Who knows, I might get all crazy and start making my own shampoo, deodorant, and lip balm. Of course, that's after I finish off the giant bottle of Garnier I bought at Costco. My mom got me a membership while she was here. Tony and I decided to get a small deep freeze off Craigslist at some point so we can stock up on 5 lb bags of frozen veggies. I believe we would end up saving money in the long run. I also started freezing my own fruit while it's in season and cheap.
I'm sure I could say a lot more but I'm still at their place.
Love.
