One Less Worry

We found out today that Shannon's unemployment was renewed!  They even paid him back pay from the last few weeks while the unemployment had lapsed!  I then suggested to Shannon that we get that phone reading from psychic, Nancy Bradley!  My in-laws had a few readings from her as well as took some of her classes.  So far, all of her predictions have come true for them.  Shannon called to make the appointment and our appointment isn't until October 28th!  That will give us plenty of time to come up with questions for her. 

Since I made a few videos about the beauty products I use, the company has asked me to make how to/demo videos and video blog posts for them!  They would send me products to use and then I would make videos and video blogs about them.  They asked me what I am charging to do something like that and I am not sure what to charge!?  They are also looking for other people to make videos for them, so I am on the lookout for other people to ask! 

Kyle has occupational therapy and speech therapy tomorrow!  We're going to have to change the day of the week we go to therapy due to Shannon's school assignments.  He would prefer another day of the week that we go. 

Kyle starts school next week!  I did get him two pairs of shorts that he can wear to school.  I think he'll need two more pairs of shorts and then I'll work getting more pants and shirts for him! 

Over Two Months Ago!

Monday was our weekly laundry day!  Since the weather has been so hot and horrid, my MIL wanted to get an early start.  With the humidity, you start to sweat after being outside for a little as 1 minute!  Plus it gets hot and stuffy at the laundromat!  I had three loads of laundry this time around, dark clothes, light clothes, and towels.

The other day, Shannon announced that his unemployment isn't set to renew, because Congress hasn't passed the bill to extend unemployment benefits.  Of course his first thought is that I should go back to work!  That made me mad...why me?  He needs to go back to work too!  Then again, I thought, "what the heck do you think I've been doing all this time?"  I've been applying for jobs for him for months now.  He's gotten calls but he isn't calling them back because he doesn't want to go work at a hotel again! 

The other day, I realized it had been over 2 months since I last heard from Speakability.  So I took the time to call and the person I needed to talk to happened to answer the phone.  After I had told her my name, she knew exactly who I was and where we lived.  She had the nerve to ask if we were still interested in having a speech therapist [for Kyle], and I thought, "DUH, why else would I be calling?!?!"  She said she would call with a name [of a speech therapist] tomorrow morning! 

I've been comparing the different online colleges that offer "studying at your own pace" and am now reconsidering Ashworth College.  I already have an Associates Degree from them.  When I looked at the classes for a Paralegal Studies Degree, I saw that I have already taken 9 of the classes!  I contacted the school to see if any of my classes would transfer over to the Paralegal Studies Degree.  Just as I thought, I would only need to take an additional 11 classes, which equals to 2 semesters and 1 class!  I told Shannon this information and he says we don't have any money.  Yet, he hasn't called the bank to cancel/dispute a charge for a subscription we didn't authorize/renew.  In other words, he doesn't mind paying for things we don't use!  So that makes me upset.  Also, he's wanting to get a psychic reading from the same psychic his parents have used in the past. 

For the last few days, I have been writing like crazy at hubpages.com!  I joined some of their affiliates to earn some extra money.  If anything, it's been fun writing different articles and publishing them online.

I decided to...

A few days ago, I decided to quit college because I was feeling way too stressed and overwhelmed with it all.  Being responsible for Kyle, doing our chores (cleaning/organizing), job searching for both Shannon and myself, and studying for school became too much for me.  Even when I tried to study, Kyle would be by my side.  I felt like I didn't have the help I needed from Shannon.  I have always been a "day time person" so I can't see myself doing school work at night.  Now, I am now less stressed and not feeling the pressure.  If I do decide to do school again, I am going for a "self-paced" online school.  I am looking at Penn Foster, if I do decide to sign up for college again. 

Since I am no longer in college, I am trying to focus on job hunting again.  I applied/re-applied for 3 new jobs in the last 48 hours or so.  We live in such a small city, there aren't many jobs around here and if there are, they hire their friends or family.  Lately, I miss working in the hotels and hotels/casinos!  I wouldn't mind moving back to Northern Nevada to work in the hotels/casinos!  I hate it here!  At least Northern Nevada had public transportation and an actual mall!

There is a psychic named Nancy Bradley that my in-laws have consulted with 5 or 6 years ago.  Everything she has told them has come true or is about to come true.  Everything that she says about them (their family, background, etc) is also true.  She has the same ranking (or whatever they call it) as Sylvia Browne.  I've been suggesting to Shannon that we get a reading from Nancy too.  Well, he finally asked me if it was okay with me if he does and I told him, "go for it!"  I need her advice too!  He also plans on asking her about Kyle and his special needs.
