admitedly, yesterday was a bad day emotionally. i really appreciate all of your encouraging comments, because it really helped. i went to bed in a pretty good spirit, and woke up that way as well.
i got a call today to be a caregiver to three teens - 13, 14 and 15 year olds. the 15 year old is a little autistic. the 14 year old is completely autistic, and the 13 year old is fine. there is a tutor at the house, and it pays pretty well. have any of you ever worked with autistic children? okay, well, i have sat in on several sessions, and let me tell you, it is one of *the* hardest things i've ever seen done. autistic children are extremely sensitive to sight, sound, smell, and lots of things can trigger them into meltdowns. it is really, really hard. i can't imagine doing that, even if it is part time. but because it is part time, i'm passing on it. now, my only problem is that i don't know which agency called. she talked too fast. :P
i'm heading over to my dad's to make as much headway as i can with the verification off statements. why he needs 6 accounts is beyond me, but i have to verify every one of them from august on, and i need to finish that up this week. after that, i'll enter in all the missing numbers, and get him a 99.9999% picture of his finances. f-u-n, fun! :D
i am going to be calling the one lady back and try to get her on the phone with me. i left a message around 6, and i still haven't heard back from her. i'm babysitting tonight out in carefree, so i have a long drive too. i need to get moving. but at least it's income, right?
i'm not going to think about finances today.
hope everyone's day is great. i'm going to be doing a survey later. :D
