Good news/bad news

Well, the bad news is that I have $115 loan payment due today (don't have it), have a quarter of a tank of gas in my car (no $$$), and I have to pay my post office box rental fee by Sunday ($39.... don't have that either). Not sure what I'll figure out about all of that. On the up side (yeah, there is finally an up side!!!!), I got a call about my second job today, and it looks like I'm in! It's nothing fancy, nothing glamorous, but it's another paycheck, so I'm excited. I do the drug test tomorrow, and go find out a start date and all of that stuff, I guess. It will probably be a couple of weeks, at least, and I may have to take my last two vacation days at my full time job to train on my new part time job, but at least they are paid. I know I'll be tired, but it will hopefully give me a chance to catch up on things and finally start whittling away at this mountain. And another celebration for me... I had parent/teacher conferences tonight with my daughter's teachers (she's a sophomore in high school), and she's doing really well, even in her college level classes. What a good girl. Now if I could just get the money thing figured out, I'd be doing good.

This is great news. Plus even with the problems you sound so upbeat. You are doing great. You have a plan and I just know you're going to make it.

Your daughter sounds great. Kids are such a blessing.

Congrats on the positive news on the second job! I'm sure things will work out for you and I'm also sure you must be so proud your daughter is doing well in school.

Best wishes,
