Homebody, not by choice

The elementary school where I have worked for the last 2 years was unable to work around my BYU class schedule, so, I was not hired back. I learned this 2 days before school was to start. I have looked online at other job postings within the school district. I have applied to 4 of them. I have also thought about substitute teaching. So, that is what I am doing today, revising my resume and going to the temp agency. While I would be limited in the type of subbing jobs I could take because of my schedule, I figure some income is better than no income. Hopefully the subbing is just until I can get hired on as an aide at another school.

I have also had the time this week to study for finals for my 2 online classes. Chloe and I have run errands and cleaned the house. I admit, it has been hard to wake up in the mornings. I know I need to get up to get the kids up for school. But I don't have the drive to get myself up and go workout before going to work since I don't have work. It's like, what's the point of getting out of bed?

I'm just not proactive to structure my at home time. I should set a schedule; when to workout, when to study, when to clean, when to play on the computer. I love making lists, so this should be up my alley, my problem is sticking to the plan.

Not having a job at this time makes me worry about bills. My tuition for this semester was paid by my mini-scholarship. Today I noticed I have a Pell Grant credit to my BYU account, so I will be paid that in two weeks. That will help with book costs, maybe get a laptop for my studies. I had applied for student loans to help with living expenses, I don't know when those come in. Kyle wasn't too happy about my getting loans. He's still paying off one of his student loans. I feel that after I graduate, I will get a job making more money where I will be able to pay off the student loans. I'm not worried about the future finances, I'm worried about the current ones.

I hate being in limbo.

  1. check into perkins loans, They forgive the debt if you work 5 years. Or atleast that used to be the case.

  2. I hope that subbing works out for you. Or that something else comes your way that might work out better.

  4. yeah... well, tell him we grew up robbing Peter to pay Paul, and as long as we keep ourselves spread throughout different states, and continue spreading the financial burdens around a bit, we'll be able to keep Peter off our tail a few more years. In the meantime Paul just keeps gettin fatter! lol!
