what puts cash in your pocket?

I'm always scared of saving and planning for big travel things, because the fact of having to try so hard to save puts such pressure on the holiday to be amazing and I'm always scared it will go wrong...so I never do it. Stupid girl = the amybird

 

I wish I could go back and play my cards better so I couldve been a stay at home mom! Its sooooo hard being a working mom....all I can think about at work is my baby! When she was younger she would cry when I took her to daycare and it ruined me. I used to show up to work with smudged mascara and a broken heart every morning.

 

Im saving now to travel once my daughter is in her teens. I plan on going somewhere grande every summer....gotta wait till she's strong enough though to carry her own backpack!

 

Come to Norway!

 

I haven't made it all through this thread yet, but wanted to say to Mandy... I have deep respect for you. My son attends a special needs school and the work that aids give to these children cannot be matched. I drop off my son and pick him up everyday so I'm on a first name basis with the staff and the children and just about every week I have an amazing story to tell about one of these kiddos. Big big hugs from me to you.

As for my employment.. #1 I'm a stay at home mommy of two little dudes. I haven't always loved it, but I LOVE it now.
#2 I make a full time living online now. I never thought of myself as a computer nerd, but when you want to be home with kids and day care for two, plus driving, plus work clothes, plus gas... I was maybe bringing in $500 a month. So I figured out how to make money online and now I make more money than I would if I were outside the house working full time without extra expenses. This is the reason why at the age of 29 I could finally get the dreads I have always wanted. I always worked in the hospitality industry and could never get away with it... (Even had to remove my nose ring and tongue piercing at one job. hrmphf)

It seems a lot of people on here want to sell stuff at festivals. I would LOVE to do this. What a wonderful excuse to go to a festival. If there is anyone in the BC/Alberta/Sask area, maybe we could partner up and work shifts or something. lol I don't want to miss all of the action!

not a money person either...would prefer living in a hut somewhere and growin my own food pretty much. there is balance though, and its about 'means to an end'...since it seems there's no way anything's gonna change any time soon about how things work and how money makes the world go round, then all i can say is that as long as the 'end' dont harm anyone directly or undirectly, its ok to get your means and get by...capitalism and materialism will always be shit though

um..that was about what i read on the first page anyway

bout the topic though..um, some random things i do and parents mostly still, cant afford getting a job where i have to go some place, schools a headache for a few more years

 

Floyd Fest is in July here (well Floyd) tickets are usually 150 bucks for the three days. I think it is awesome that you can get in free if you volunteer just 4 hours a day to clean up or with the children. Will be tons and tons of vendors there Im too excited!

 

callie, i hope you didnt think that i was implying you were mean...

i thought your comments were a lil, well, harsh sounding, but from what i've read from you you seem to be a pretty kind person...i wrote it off in my own mind as me just takin it in a way it wasn't intended...

 

HAHAHA I don't think my mortgage co. would accept that either. :S lol

 

Haaa guess you just havent heard enough from me to get my mean-ish sense of humor maybe. No I am not mean. SE is my nemisis....we have been doing this since I first started posting. Sad thing is we probably have very similar personalities it seems, just different idea's. So we clash...know what I mean.
I dunno....I find him rude and bullheaded.....hummmmmmm sound familiar....

 

Oh and you are fired! Fired I say....boy toys must always agree with their suga mommas

 

fine...the job wasn't payin well anyways!

...but...but...i dont remember disagreeing

...>_>

<_<

and you can't fire me...I QUIT!

...unless you wanna re-hire me ?

I also work with kids with autism and other developmental disabilities. I love it

 

awwww daisymelon....its moms like you that inspire the hell out of me!!!!! Mothers of special needs children are the strongest women Ive ever met! You ladies juggle so much physically, psychologically, and emotionally. I bet your son is an angel!!!!!

And gaiabee.....*high five momma!* Isnt it rewarding as hell?! I used to work with dementia patients but that was way too depressing....people were dying left and right! I love working with little kids because we get to help them have a good, meaningful and productive life!

 

i used to work with autistic children a few years back it was by far the most challenging job i ever had...i gained a true respect for the parents and care takers of children with special needs. after that job i was a youth gymnastic coach... and now i am the director or creative development for a music production company.... and i work also work at a film and video game store on the weekend
