UGH, i know i haven't posted really too much on here latley, i've been a bit stressed out with things goin on at home, and basically right now, my life is terrable. i'm not working anymore, cuz after working at hooters for like a month, i quit, tried to get unemployment, and got offered my old job as a debt collector, and quit there after a week so that i could stay home with austin.
well now i'm broke and i hate it!
Shawn makes really really good money, but he's payin a lawyer for something that happened, and he's prolly goin to be goin to work release for 90 days for, and our rent for our one bedroom apt is 525 a month, which is way way way too much for the location. they upped the rent after he moved in and got on the lease. plus car insurance too..ugh
well we aren't able to get any type of assistance, because his take home and gross is too much. so now we pay all our bills, and we have no money to get any food. seriously, all that i have is ramen noodles, and thats all. it sucks. we get wic too, but we aren't able to get food stamps, or anything else.
n then shawn will blow his money on dumb stuff then too, and i have no way of keepin track of what he brings home and what he is spending it on.
my lease runs out in january, and then i have to move into shawns moms house cuz my sister and her family are stayin at my parents house, and at shawns moms i will get her bedroom and thats all. plus his sister and her family are moving back in there and they drive me crazy.
i wanted to look into gettin a income apartment for the time that he's in for, but after he gets out in march, i don't know if it will be worth it, cuz they will up my rent once he moves in.
i dunno, i'm just upset about it, and i don't have anyone to talk to...
sick of being broke *rant*

Will he get paid for work release? Maybe when his income changes you can apply for assistance.
Do you have an extra room or a couch you could rent out for a little extra cash?
How about looking for another part time job? In most cases you can not get unemployment if you choose to leave your job.
Have yout hought about going to school? You could qualify for financial aid which many mamas use toward living expenses.
i live in a one bedroom apt, so renting out a room or a couch isn't gonna happen, and my lease is up in january, n we are moving out after that.
work release will take 20% of income for rent, which will cut things low, but i don't think we will be able to get it even after that, we will have 2 look into it. i can't really get a job or look into school until after march, because i will have to take shawn to and from work release to work. and it's a hour one way trip, and he works nights, so it's gonna be real interesting when i have to pick him up every night and then take him to work release every morning.
just really sucks, and the idea of moving in with his mom, really really sucks. and i know that we will be there past march, and i'm seriously gonna be bananas there.
