Ok, so I have been applying around for another job, I'd hate to leave my dad high & dry though; which is why I worked for him so long before. Well I just started Friday but we really need more $ coming in and 7.50 an hour isn't cutting it. Even with the back paychecks he owes me...still a few but I don't want them until I need them so I have a bit extra every time. He still owes me about 10, but with the holidays and the snow and my being sick I haven't had many hours on the last couple of pay periods. It is starting to hurt....and scare me. I hate being this low on funds. I don't want to continue living from paycheck to paycheck!
I wish Tom would hurry up and do something! He just doesn't know what he wants to do with his life. What kind of job he wants, if he wants to go to school, etc. He doesn't want to get stuck doing something he hates but at this point we just need money- even part time money. He is afraid if he starts school he won't like it or he will discover that it isn't what he wants to do anyway and will he will have spent too much money not to continue. He is a very smart man but has no confidence or direction and his parents never expected much of him. I am trying to support him and encourage him without nagging but it hard, especially with the situation we're in.
I am thinking about getting a part-time night job. I just hope it doesn't come to that. I have applied at a few places that will let me use my degree. I don't want to get a second job. I want to be home with my kids, I've always wanted to be a full time mom. Home school full time instead of just making lesson plans and grading. I want to teach my boy, he deserves more than I am giving him right now and he doesn't want to go back to public school right now- this makes me happy.
