There's nothing like a hug and a kiss to make you feel better!
How many more things can go wrong! Last weekend we decided that its about time to buy a house and move on with our lives. That same weekend our car broke down. I spent all of Monday on the phone with mechanics, and friends trying to figure out what to do. The mechanics said to junk the car and that it would be a waste to try and fix it. That's hard for us to do, because we haven't had a car payment for a while now. Old silver has been such a good car for us. The mechanics were shocked to hear how many miles we got out of it, I guess Intrepids aren't known for their high millage, but for some miracle ours went well beyond it's life expectancy. The Church is advising that we all get out of dept and work on food storage(which there is no room for in our home now). What better way to show that we are listening then to go and do the complete opposite. We are so excited to get into the house, but totally bummed about having a car payment. For a while now I have been trying to find a job that will work well with Breadon's schedule of being able to send him off to school in the morning and being here to help him with his homework when he gets home. He is doing so awsome in school, and I don't want to mess with that. If any one can shed a little sunshine on my rainy parade please do so! Before I go in a corner and start to cry. We could use any advise you may have! Thank goodness for such awsome neighbors, friends an an amazing family that help me when I need it most. I guess it's times like these when ones faith is really tested. I pray that I will pass with flying colors. Sorry for the not so happy post, I have been reading a couple of others and I am glad to see I am not a lone in the ranting department!

Jenny, did you guys find a house? Sorry, it seems like when it rains it pours! I hope things get better soon. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you. Chin up!
Look at jobs in the school. You could be an aide; they usually need teacher's aides to help with grading papers, making copies and checking the kids' homework and reading. That way you could be working during school. There is always the glamorous lunch lady option that I chose, too. We don't work as many hours or make as much as some aides, but you could definitely get a car payment out of it. I would say good luck, but I know you guys will find something that will work wonderfully for you! :)
I totally understand Jenny...Not fun, But really it does end and things get better. When we moved into our house it made a huge difference to have some space and a place to call home for a long long time!!! You go girl!
