Because of bad economy and us being broke, I have to endure the job Im not thrilled about. The company moved so that my commute is 1 hr 15 minutes along the ghetto area. Needless to say how depressing it is to see dirty Mexican kids running around on the streets. The co. is run by loud mouthed owner whose despotic whims stress the hell out of our CFO. In turn he comes to accounting department and gives us all hell. When he walks into the dept, I feel myself tensing up just seeing him and hearing his menacing voice. Ive been trying to find another job for couple of years. It has to be close enough to home and the money must be comparable to what I make now. Because I dont have education in accounting, it makes it harder to land a job even though Ive been performing the same tasks that any person with a bachelor degree in accounting would for the past 8 years. One place wanted me to go get my Bachelor. No way I would!!! What a ridiculous idea Im not even interested in accounting that much I just do it for money. Secondly, I have to spend considerable time cleaning our place and/ or tame our kid and soothe her to sleep. The plan was for me to get married to a man who would be able to support my staying at home being a mom and a housewife. Its too bad the idea did not work out exactly as planned because I met a man who worked at Big Lots, being 7 years younger. Now hes a computer technician, but his first real job brings of what I make. So we are stuck where we are with our credit card debt after my pregnancy related disability. Im trying to still have fun at least once a week. Its hard to wake up in the mornings sometime to face the day and more financial obligations. Sometimes I just wake up in the middle of the night and worry for couple hours before its time to get on the road again to go to work that I dont really like.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I started my own house cleaning business but it took like 8 months for me to get enough clients to make the money I needed. I did that for 2 years.
Hope things turn around for you soon.
