I have many things to be grateful for this Monday!
* a great weekend overall!
* My boys doing great at their sports this weekend and having fun doing it! Tyler ran 23:53 this weekend, he's shaved almost 2 minutes off his running time in the past few weeks! I know that isn't easy and I'm proud of him for working hard and achieving it! Daniel is playing much better football these past 2 weeks and you can see the joy and pride on his face now when he comes off the field. He has made a touchdown in each of the last two games. This Saturday he caught lobbed balls that are hard to catch, 1 turned into a touchdown and 1 he made while surrounded by the other team & he had to jump to catch it! His tackles have been great! BTW, the other team was the trojans, so you can imagine the jokes that come out of those games. Especially when the announcer says things like "No. 19 Daniel Montgomery brought down by a pack of trojans" LOL
* Great time with my parents visiting yesterday.
* My husband was able to fix my mom's truck without any hiccups and saved her a bunch of money.
* That my little man didn't turn into Oscar the Grouch yesterday when he had to go all day without a nap & that he slept through the night last night even though he fell asleep at 7pm yesterday evening!

Waste away Wednesday
That's what I should call this day b/c to be honest I just don't have much I can claim that I have accomplished lol
Honestly I don't feel like getting much done today either lol I should probably cook dinner, wash a few dishes and vacuum at the least.
My brain has been so busy the last two days with nonstop thinking about how to work a little from home. LOTS and LOTS of internet searches, a lot of time and way too much reading! I have turned up a few possible leads for part time pay, but I'm waiting to hear what they thought of my application. This has become a big issue for me lately. Once again school has started along with the sports and we are broke week after week. With lunches, school fees, paying to get in and watch my kids at their sports, driving to the sports, sending money for them to eat on away games and so on, it's eating up all of our extra money and extra time. I'm going to school to get a certificate in Medical Transcription, but that is more and more looking like it maybe awhile before i can use it for a job if ever. I started the schooling b/c a relative of my step-mom's married a woman who worked as a Medical Transcriptionist. She had been doing it for 8 yrs and needed more workers, so that was a possibility of a job. Not anymore though since they are all ready divorced less than a year later. The other problem I'm running into is that everywhere you look companies want you to have 2 yrs experience as a transcriptionist. Now my question is if that's all anyone wants how are you supposed to ever get experience doing it? So I'm looking for an internship, but we all know that is not going to pay well or have great hours. I'll take it though, but I've heard those are few and hard to find. I've considered day care again, but I keep talking myself out of it. For several reasons like how would I run the kids everywhere, Bryan's speech appts that I still have to sit in on and now my daughter will be getting braces in Nov. That means more dental visits on a regular basis and we have to drive an hour to the dentist just to get it covered by insurance. So it would not be a good fit. A friend of mine has been selling her craft stuff on Etsy.com so I'm looking into doing that with the crafts that I make as christmas gifts. I know I won't have an income but if I could get some extra money here and there that would help some. I've applied to get Bryan into early head start preschool. He's 3rd inline on the waiting list for a slot. IF he gets in then I'm going to start applying to some call center jobs that I can do from home, definitely not my first choice but I'm pretty limited on what i can do.
Keep your fingers crossed that my hubby can get on at the factory where my dad works here soon. If he does that will mean like a $12,000/yr raise in our income. My brother is getting to go work there again which is wonderful for his family. Kind of funny though b/c he's spent the last 2 yrs taking online courses for becoming a web designer or something that he do from home, and now he's getting a job where he'll make to much to probably ever use his degree.
Just have to keep my chin up and have faith that something will work out.
