They're all sick!

Eliza had a temp of 105.2 the other night. She has an ear infection. Anya has an ear infection and a goopy eye. Pie had an ear infection and as of this morning has been puking non stop. Janai, well, she is just crazy. :p We are woking on potty training... but she isn't sick...yet.

I have to work on potty training because we have no money to buy her diapers (I don't make her diapers.) So I have a few training pants that I guess we will have to keep washing until the money drought leaves... (I am going to start holding my breath now!)

Here is something... something. I got a letter from the state of michigan saying that they are going to decrease the amount of hours I can bill for (not just me... everyone) from 100 to 90 every two weeks. Just perfect. In essence it is a pay decrease, because while I am going to try to get the money from the parents, I can't count on them being able to come up with it. I know for me, trying to find an extra $20 in my budget is an impossibility. Well, I logged on today to see if those kids that were on, but got taken off, but are waiting to be put back on, are on, so I can bill for them... (they aren't... of course) that we are going to get an increase per hour. But it doesn't say how much. It just says *increase*. I guess they feel bad about not raising the subsidy for the last 15 years, and now that they decreased the hours we can bill for, so now, we get more per hour, but that certainly will be less over all than if we could bill for 10 more hours. LOL

I can't wait until I am done with daycare. I want a midnight weekends job. I am looking... finding one that make enough money is a challenge!

School goes back on the 7th. I am excited. Only two more terms until I am turned down for the nursing program. LOL

And then we get our taxes back. For a short while we won't feel so strapped for cash, a few months. I told Shawn that starting Monday he needs to get up at 6:30 so he can be to work by 7:30. That will increase how much money he gets by $36+ a day. Hopefully, he will follow my plan. If he doesn't... well... I don't know what I will do. Give up, I suppose.
