I have not felt like writing too much lately. I blame it on the economy. Our health insurance went up, it was already sky high. Trying to make ends meet has become near impossible. So I am job hunting. I don't want to go back to my previous field, accounting. Too high stress. So I have applied to walmart of all places. Checking the want ads. The problem is going to be my leave of absence from the work force for 7 years.
We won't be homeschooling Kota. Too expensive right now. Last year his school had only kindergarten and first grade in it. This year he will go to the elementary school. Hopefully some of the kids he had problems with will be going to the other elementary school in the district. Kota is looking forward to going back to school. What I need is a job that will work around his school schedule. Hah! Doubt I will find that! Even if I could just find something part time, a few hours a day.
Tae Kwon do - Last night I tried a new kick in class. They are all about pushing you to try new things. This was a jumping kick and I did it pretty good. Taking class helps me release my frustrations and anger. Anger at how this economy has deteriorated and how we used to be able to survive.
I found a cheap grocery store around here. They don't have name brand stuff, its all off brand. But so far everthing has been good. And its saved me a few dollars. Its also right next to our tae kwon do place. So while Kota takes the second class, I do our shopping.
Its easy to get discouraged for me. And I don't remember ever having to struggle so much to make ends meet. So for now, its back to filling out employment applications. And keeping my fingers crossed that someone will call.
