This week's paycheck will only have 3 days on it (DH had Thurs & Fri off), next week's check will only have 4 days because of Memorial Day.
And if that weren't bad enough, instead of having one week off in July, we were just informed that they will have TWO weeks off.

Whiz, his company shuts down in July and in December.

About your toy business....have you tried to get your catalogs or brochures for the toys in front of the right people? Maybe you could go around to daycare centers, pediatrician's offices, park districts and that type of thing and ask them if you can leave some of your brochures there. Just a thought.
Heather
Heather, thanks for the input!
Can you maybe create a 1-page color flyer highlighting a couple of the items and distribute that instead?
Heather
Heather, great idea!
"And since I've only made a few dollars so far (since I don't do "toy parties") it might not make sense to spend money and possibly not make any money."
Here is an idea. Ask the daycare centers not only if they will put out your flyers in the sign-in area, but can you do a display if there is room? I used to have a child in Children's World and there were all kinds of items on a weekly basis. Sometimes books, sometimes picture products (keychains, frames, etc.) with information how to order. And I know that I was not the only one that bought...

Oh, Aravis, I know how frustrating it is when the money just isn't there! With my dh's continuing "underemployment" we never know if it will be or not (June looks especially dismal here), so I feel your pain!
But it sounds like you have a good plan for cheap meals, etc. (thanks for the reminder about those!) and I hope you can get some of those Discovery sales you're after!
