Working

I worked the second job today. It was pretty uneventful. I told the manager I wanted to work double shifts on Saturday and Sunday (to leave my weekdays after Target open to be with the kids)and he was quite happy with that. Seems they needed a strong weekend person. That means I'll get 25-30 hours in two days plus 40 hours at Target.That's $660 gross a week. Not bad...If I don't DIE, lol.

So here's my predicament. If you are reading this and know the answer please tell me !

When I go online to ncesc.com on Sunday night it asks me if I have worked, if I have earned money, how much, etc. If I answer no I get my money deposited on Monday morning. If I say no this week because I worked I won't get money on Monday morning. BUT, I won't get money from either job for two weeks! So, do I answer that I made money when I actually get a check or do I manually calculate/estimate my earnings and enter it ? If it's the latter I'm screwed. My car insurance is due next week and my account is on the verge of being in the red.

I'm trying to look on the bright side, really I am. Once I get my first check things should start rolling along smoothly. But the bank taking $100 from me and the state garnishing my account for my car tax (that was only a couple of months late, what happened to charging interest ?) pushed me to the edge. I'm trying not to teeter over.

I'm going out tomorrow night with the girls. I've never been to a Haunted House, don't like being scared. But, I SO need to get out and I don't want to miss another chance to hang out with these wonderful ladies. I might be quite worthless when I get to work Sunday morning. Lots and lots of coffee I reckon.

Okay, I'm cutting this short because my introspective juices are just not flowing.

Oh, on a side note. Olivia had two more episodes for my dad ;) and a fever when I got home Thursday. I think she picked up a bug in FL. Probably from drinking half the pool. She's okay now though. Tylenol,a day of the b.r.a.t diet and some electrolytes fixed her right up. Don't you love it when you nurse them and it works....FAST!
Night all. XOXO.

OH NO! Almost left without pictures !

Look - Triplets !! Lol.

That's a toughy. I am (or try to be, in spite of the consequences) brutally honest. So, I would probably turn in whatever I'm supposed to turn and and have faith in the Universe that all would work out to reward me for my honesty (not that honesty in itself is not reward enough, cuz I think it is). But, dude, you gotta do what you gotta do. Don't let peeps judge you and just be sure YOU can live with whatever decision you make--whichever one you choose.

oh, it's not that I want to get away with something it's that I seriously didn't know *what* I was supposed to do. You can't get to the questions until Sunday, I look at them today and it's clear now. Did you do any work ? If yes how much did you earn? "Earn" not "Get paid". Which means I turn in what I earned and I get nada next week and I'm Screwed with a capitol "S".
