It's kinda wierd, but I did just borrow money from my eldest for gas forthe next week. SHe got a job at Old Navy and I just LOVE hearing her complain about having to go to work. No worry, they're going to pay me for subbbing after my student teaching ended for May 14-30 on June fucking 30th.<br /><br />Missed you.

Good example! To bring stuff like this home to my kids I can't use dollars I have to use iTunes - they only understand money in iPod value...<br /><br />But I will say one thing about kids who no longer can look forward to a cleaning lady (how many years I don't remember), they know how to clean a house. And, unfortunately, so do I.Linda Pressmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01809808676659629555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-10050208398556015232010-06-20T00:40:43.640-04:002010-06-20T00:40:43.640-04:00Is it okay if I just refer to all the other commen...Is it okay if I just refer to all the other comments as being good advice? I know a couple of women other than myself who have worked much longer than I at the university and have access to very good pensions who just won't leave.

I like reading books, having special projects around the house, keeping up with friends and family. It's getting the time to DO those things is what I think sucks. So in a way I envy you having extra time at home with your family while they are still mostly there.Life As I Know It Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733963455243806298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-33660839738497747232010-06-19T13:42:01.172-04:002010-06-19T13:42:01.172-04:00I'm so sorry, Lisa.

Because I work freelance at home, apparently F. sometimes forgets that I have a job and confuses me with our imaginary free maid. <br /><br />I went on a rather petulant strike some time ago, but without announcing my intention, just to see how long it would take him to do a single dish without prompting. The answer: 13 days, and you don't want to know what the sink looked like by the time he valiantly hefted a sponge. <br /><br />That news about the unemployed being denied a chance to even get a foot in the door was absolutely depressing. Write that novel! (Advice to myself, as well.) I have faith that you are worth so much more than the world realizes yet. So show 'em. :)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-10252023320351796882010-06-19T13:23:47.460-04:002010-06-19T13:23:47.460-04:00I do understand.

I went from good income to a job with 2/3 at 2/3 the rate of pay, and from there to living on savings and my credit card for four years while fighting Social Security for the SSDI I paid for over the years. I know the frustration of a rice and beans diet on months when medical payments were high. I still live in official poverty, but feel quite well to do, by comparison.<br /><br />Hang in there Lisa. {{{hug}}}TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11397335545286040472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-4014130927640443192010-06-19T09:47:49.291-04:002010-06-19T09:47:49.291-04:00Make 'em special brownies, and domestic bliss ...Make 'em special brownies, and domestic bliss is right around the corner.<br /><br />I always do the laundry while watching the local sports teams suck and/or choke, takes the mind off the misery. <br /><br />Oh, and booze.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-63483167662013100342010-06-18T22:51:08.537-04:002010-06-18T22:51:08.537-04:00...and that's why I buy a sack of flour and ha......and that's why I buy a sack of flour and have been working my way through cook books.<br /><br />Sweetcheeks, it hits dudes, too.
