So tomorrow's my last teaching day for some months, and while I'm gripped with cold white terror at the prospect of not being able to pay for food, bills or my bank loan and Visa repayments, part of me is reaching for exhausted fingers at the vision of being able to just sit down and watch an episode of True Blood or Moonboy at 10pm with nothing hanging over me. Or being able to take the kids to school, or go for a coffee.
I hope something comes up FAST to cover what is going to be horrible poverty and stress, yes, but I'm also looking forward to a week or two of finishing up other work commitments, organising, socialising (in a way that doesn't involve things that cost anything) and getting enough sleep.
Having said that, if you know of a job I can do, er, let me know.

Oh no. And yet Yes! I love that you have more time for yourself, that's great.
Poverty's not so bad. It reflects more on the kids I think more than anything, this year poor puppychild had a frugal birthday and didn't throw tantrums or anything, but there was a definite lower lip going on. Still, she got her ears pierced! It's something.
I deal with the poverty by working backwards. Meal planning. Not using the tumble dryer. Giving up Sky. That sort of thing. Oh! And himself started a pizza delivering job. It ticks us over. The bills keep panicking us but there's nothing we can do so we try not to worry. Not easy though, the not worrying! I find that whenever something big needs paying, things work themselves out somehow. Just about.
Not really looking forward to Christmas though! Poo.
No, Christmas is scary. I don't have the Visa card to fall back on (and worsen the problem) anymore.
A wobbling lower lip's worse than a tantrum though, isn't it?
