Ahhhh... A three hour rest after work and dinner with my boys has left me completely refreshed! However now it's 11:25pm, and I'm awake with no intention of going to sleep soon and no clue what of what to do with myself.
Work was hectic today, as our District Manager made a surprise visit for the day, and despite his attempts to improve the restaurant, he seemed to slow us all down with constant interuptions and meetings. I'm just glad I wasn't called out on, and he didn't notice that I forgot to put on my non-slip shoes at first.
Childcare continues to be an area of frustration for me... I'm not receiving child support as of yet, and despite DH's lawyer's word that he would pay for childcare, I have not seen those funds yet either. I won't deny that I am receiving assistance, however, the terms for the assistance only allow for a specific 6 hours per day, 1/2 hour of which the daycare is closed. On days like today when school is once again cancelled because of the weather, I am left scrambling trying to find a place for Things 1 and 2 to go before they can go to daycare. My friends have been wonderful in their willingness to help me over the past two months, however there's only so many times I can ask them to be a Mom-taxi for me. I would like to just put them in full-time day-care, however that is just so far out of my budget. It's almost a Catch-22 actually. I have gotten a second job as a furniture rep covering Lima to Cincinnati, however I can't really start that position until I have full-time daycare. And I can't pay for full-time daycare until I start the job and start making sales. I've seen this so many times in the past in the interior design industry. How are you supposed to get experience in a particular niche in the design industry (i.e. hospitality or retail) if no one will give you the opportunity to get experience? OK... So maybe it's not exactly the SAME thing. But it feels like it...
