its a bit hard....
Sharing is caring?
I know I should share more but it makes me feel very vulnerable.
Does anyone else feel that way?
Goals:
Change my health coverage: current coverage stinks. I think we have found one that we like, now I just need to approach my boss about paying for it.
Get signed for a class for winter term: Found out my financial aid has run out and I still have 12 classes plus my student teaching to do before I graduate. If I don't return to school by January I will have to start paying my loans back which will be a financial hardship.
Find a new job: I have applied for two jobs and been on two interviews. Both working in the childcare field. The pay is horrible and not even half of what I am being paid now. My thought was to try to gain some experience in the field I will have my degree in so I will have some experience when I graduate but it looks like that will be next to impossible with the pay scale they offer. So I will be writing a new resume to look for something more in line with what I am doing now. Health coverage for our family is a major concern and more money would be awesome.
Home Improvements: I have a painitng project that needs to be completed and our carpets need cleaning. I am seriously thinking we may want to consider buying a carpet cleaner as we have two furbabies and they make mistakes now and then. It is around 90.00 to have the whole house cleaned so a carpet cleaner would be paid for after 2 1/2 cleanings. At the moment I am too embarassed by not having this stuff done to invite friends over. Jay wanted to invite a friend of our over to watch the big game on Sunday and I said no but I really wanted to say yes. Does anyone else feel like that about there house?
Those are the biggies for me right now.
Mel,
You wrote Cathy's and my life. Jobs, dogs & student loans...
Do you have an investigator here in Texas?
I have 6 more hours to achieve my Finance Degree and at one time it seemed a long ways off. Remember that an absolute truth is that time will go by however whatever we do with it is up to us.
