Rl] finally have five seconds to chill and I have a sick baby sleeping on me

I am in NO WAY complaining tho, this little turd keeps insisting he’s too old to snuggle mommy so I’ll baby sicky all night if ingest the chance lmao

Also catching up on 911 at last so that is awesome at least

Hands are tied up more or less, big ol 4 year old is taking my whole space, can’t even laptop but jeez zero complaints to have a small break at last and get some lovin’ in with my Junebug

I only get to see the kiddos for an hour in the morning on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and only like six hours max on Saturdays and Sundays- so I’m really really diggin baby time with sicky

I super NEED a new job with same or better pay, but hours that are easier on the fam. Starting an hour before they get out of school and staying until middle of the night is so not working

Problem is I’ve never gone to any school after high school and limited work history really cuts my opportunities

I’ve been applying to anything and everything regardless of their requirements as far as work history and education b u t it’s not doing much so far :/

I’ve been so stressed and emotionally/mentally/physically dead I can’t even right now

Bad part about catching up on 911 is it’s really really REALLY intensify my want to either be a dispatcher or emt or nurse or cop 👀 if I had the time and money to do the schooling oooo boy I’d be doing something actually HELPFUL to the world

I worry about the idea of losing people effecting me but also I have always had the BIGGEST want to help save people so 🤷‍♀️

But no money and no time for the needed education so

I’m just another useless person doing a whole lot of nothing in the world 🙃

Hey, dude, I'm sitting here trying to research whether Cali has a program like we have here in Ohio...if they do you might be able to get your county to pay for some schooling, on top of the Pell grant

The program here is called Ohio Means Jobs and they pay for schooling if it's in a projected high-growth career

I'm going to school this year on their dime, I even get gas and stuff reimbursed

unbearablylight: oh snap?? I could buckle down and do courses regardless of my work schedule if I didn’t have to try and find the $$$ for it

You might go to the Dept. of Job and Family and see if they know of a program like this

unbearablylight: I know we have like a couple things that could help pay but I have qualified for any of them but I haven’t looked too deeply into financial aid stuff so I just might

unbearablylight: I should be off Tuesday so I’m def doing that, thank you hon!!

That's where ours is from. I researched the same thing for a program in Colorado for a friend not long ago but there requirements there were a bit different (it was tied to unemployment there) so it might be a little different there too

But Cali is the kind of state that I'd expect to have support like this

I did find this

unbearablylight: I’m gonna check it out online tonight and go down Tuesday to noodle at it

unbearablylight: you’re the best ty!

I hope you can connect to something that helps!

You're welcome hon
