I Think My Life is About to Get Really Busy
School starts on the 29th. I have classes Monday through Friday. One class a day, but it's a big change for me. I have math Monday through Thursday, and then English on Friday.
We're doing okay financially, but it's something I always worry about. I wish we had more money to save each month. I wish we were equipped to handle emergencies like sick pets, things our insurance doesn't cover, car trouble... but we're really not. I mean, we have resources, but if the car broke down really bad, or one of the ferrets got really sick, we'd be tapped out. God help us if both happened at once.
So I was thinking last night, as I couldn't sleep, about options. I don't want to work evenings and weekends, because we'd never have time as a family. I'd miss Scott and Luke dearly. That leaves me with the option of working mornings somewhere that's open mornings. Like a restaurant or coffee shop.
I'm thinking of applying at the restaurant we like to frequent. It isn't too far away, the staff seems nice, and while I've never worked in a restaurant, I think I could like it there. I just hope my body can handle the kind of work I'd be doing.
I may also apply at the coffee shop that's near our apartment. I've done that before and really enjoyed it.
I just hope I can handle working in the mornings before school, going to classes, and maintaining my family life in the afternoons and evenings. It's going to be a huge change from the way things have been for the last two years. I hope I'm not biting off more than I can chew by wanting to work in the mornings. My therapist only wanted me to take two classes so I didn't wear myself too thin fall term. I hope working won't be too much of a stress for me.
I don't like laying awake at night worrying about money. I don't want to have that kind of stress. If I could bring home just a little bit each month to put in our savings account, I'd be happy. I'd worry less. I'd sleep better. Because even though we're doing fine, I want us to be doing better.
