i dont do this often and i dont know what else to do....
my husband starts student teaching in the spring semester. he has to leave his job to do this. we will be losing all health insurance. the baby will go on chip (the state health insurance for children). we will have nothing. we are going to look into COBRA but we dont know if we can even afford that. from what we are hearing teacher in his field are getting hired almost immediately. but that likely means no job until fall semester next year. 6 months of little to no income.
i work part time at a university. i'm an adjunct. so i get paid little, and i get no health insurance. i'm still hunting for agents (i have an mfa in writing from a pretty elite school.. i've finished my first and second novels.. but so far luck has been against me.)
folks, right now the scene is getting really dark. we are about as skint as you can get. i think all of the christmas gifts this year from us are home made because we can't afford much else. winter is coming. our vegetable garden failed as a lot of people's gardens failed in this area. it was a hard garden year.
i'm just having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
if you have any prayers lying around, any good thoughts, any ideas as to where to submit a ltierary women's novel, writing jobs for blogs or book/movie reviews... etc - where to apply for a high school science teacher gigs, any ways to make money online from home - legit and i am poor (i'm so poor i dont get the R. i'm po') so i can't buy things like arbonne or tupperware - please send them my way....
we are full tithe payers. we are doing all we can. it's just scarey. i know i should be full of faith, my face glowing. but right now i just keep thinking about what if one of us gets sick next semester and we can't afford to see a dr. what about being able to keep food on the table...
it's just getting really hard right now...
so any prayers you have lying around from now on for a while would be hugely appreciated...
thank you so much.
