One of my biggest life fears is becoming stagnant. I need change and new opportunities to keep me going or I get anxious. Well I definitely picked the right life. The last thing my life will EVER be is borrowing.
I am a little stressed about finances in June. Since I quit SJ1 (sidejob 1), I knew things were going to be tighter but I was able to make the budget work. Then I get a call from SJ2 stating that because of contract renewals they won't have any work for me for a couple weeks. I normally wouldn't be that worried as it is only a couple hundred dollars but then I remembered that SJ3 doesn't pay ANY invoices in June (some fiscal budget thing) so I won't see any of that money until July. I had already budgeted for the SJ1 & SJ3 financial hit but that took me to the edge of our financial resources. I am going to have to pull the lost income from SJ2 out of savings :-(.
Speaking of side jobs, I think I found another. I know I JUST quite SJ1 to relieve stress but this new side job is small and commission based. I get to work with my little sister and she will be doing most of the work. I am not sure if I will make much money as I am not much of a sales woman but any new source of revenue I can get, I will take.
Spoke with MIL on Mother's Day and it looks like she is seriously thinking about letting us take over her house. I have blogged about it previously but then it was just hypothetical but the way MIL was talking it may become more of a reality. DW and I have decided to start savings for home repairs that would have to happen before we moved in and if MIL still hasn't made a decision this time next year will we use that money to move elsewhere as I really don't like our current house.
On a final note. We maybe getting another foster child or two. I received a call about a sibling group (boy and girl). I told them until DS2 moved-in with her father we only had room for the boy (6) and the girl (4) could move in mid-July. I received a call from the social worker asking questions and wondering if we could make it so we could take the girl first, which we can make work. They have to staff the decision and I should hear from them on Friday. It is still up in the air as they REALLY want to place the kids together initially but the social worker has heard raving reviews about us from others within the department and would prefer working with us. Apparently I have made a name for myself within the department other than raving b!tch!! I get mama bear protective of the kids in my care and can get mean if I need to so that my kids get what they deserve.
Have a great Wednesday!!!!
