Ohhh it is getting soooo close! Ok just to make sure I have it straight, your first name is Michelle right? I Mark everyones surgery on my calander so I can keep them in my prayers on their special day!
I remember those days when the kids were in school. Ahhh how great it was when they went back and all of the sudden there was either more time for me, or less time I had to pay a sitter when I worked. Both were cause for excitement.
Good luck with your last class, and your pre-op appt. YEAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY for you!

good morning,

Today my son is going camping overnight with Gramma. YEAH !! A kidless evening ...
I have an appt with the workforce development because of my continued unemployment. that will take all of 5 minutes ... but it takes a half hour to get there ...
that should be fun.. I plan on doing some shopping at a store there so it won't be a complete waste of time.

Have a good day buddies,

God Bless,

Jenn

Jenn, Have you talked to the Workforce Development about a program called Workforce Investment Act Program? Each county in all states have this program, but it is NOT widley known. It is a program that if you qualify by income guidlines or are unemployed collecting unemployment, diplaced homemaker they will PAY for new training for you!!! My daughter and I just had a meeting with our local agency, and they will be paying for her schooling to get her Associates degree as a Pysical Therapists Assistant.

Might be something worth looking into!

Hi Phyllis,

I have looked into the possiblity of gettig retrained for something else, unfortunately I already have my Bachelors in Chemistry, so I don't qualify.. I know a few people who are receiving aid to complete their associate's or complete a bachelor's if they already have their associates. Also I have defaulted on my student loans so that sorta messes with anything that is Federally funded .. they won't give it to me ..

Thanks anyway for the input

Many Blessings to you,

Jenn

Jenn, Understand the student loan situation and with having a 4 yr degree you don't qualify. Here is another suggestion, since you do have your 4 yr degree you maybe able to substitute teach in the school system, Check with the department of education for your schools. Here in Ohio as long as you have a 4 yr degree you can substitute in any grade, pay ranges from 80.00 - 120.00 a day depending on the school. That is what I am considering doing after graduation in December and while I am obtaining my Masters.

Hugs

hello

I have looked into that around here and to be a substitute teacher here in new york you have to get fingerprinted which is $100 and you have to pay for yourself .. I don't think that they can pay you back for it either ...
and they are only 8 bucks an hour

thanks for helping
