Money Money Money

Okay, I've been MIA from my blog and not only b/c I STILL HAVE NO CHAIR for my desk, but also b/c my thoughts lately have been consumed by money. And I hate that, so here's to hoping this post will let me get past it.
I have to come up with a way to make an income myself. It must be flexible and it must be from home. I know I could work at a Mother's Day Out program and bring Valin with me, but being "with me" in the same building is just not the same as being WITH ME. So...have you ever tried searching for work from home jobs?! Yes, ha ha ha you must be laughing out loud b/c even though I know there are plenty of legit home jobs, they are pretty much swallowed up by the ridiculous scams online. No, I don't want to make gift baskets to sell online or stuff envelopes or take your dumb quizzes in hopes you'll send me a check in the mail.
So let's see, what are my qualifications...well, that's a big NONE. I have a degree in Health Science with a minor in biology. I have done absolutely nothing with it, except nanny for families. And no, I don't want to take care of other kids in my house.
All I can say is I'm creative. And getting a job, from home, based on creativity is not looking so hot right now....
I know, I know, I'm looking for the impossible, right? Sure, if whatever I'm looking for existed we'd all be breathing easier financially...blah blah blah... MANNNNN
In conclusion, residency sucks and, for being in near 200K of debt just to get here, it pays my doctor man CRAP. CRAP. CRAP. CRAP.
Here's to 6 more years of being poor as church mice.....



P.S. I feel the need to put in a semi-obligatory note that, yes, I know we'll figure it out and get through it. And yes, it could be worse. I know I am super blessed and haven't had to go a single day without food or clothing. It's just that I thought that there would be a small tiny light at the end of his medical school, just a little bitty pick-me-up and things would be a little easier financially. But oh well, we will get through it and things could be worse. I know God will take care of us.
