I've never been rich or even "well off", but I haven't been this financially strapped in quite some time. I'm super stressed about having our taxes done this year because we cashed out our 401K's (I know STUPID). I did my 17 year olds taxes today and guess what?? He owes federal taxes!! Which means I owe them because he isn't working right now! I hate to whine because I know I have it so much better than a lot of people.
Besides fearing that I owe the government moocho moola, I'm juggling which bill gets paid on time this month, got one car in the driveway needing an altenator, the husband's trucks exhaust is going to fall off any day now, the dogs are out of heartworm medication...I know not a big issue in the winter but after paying big time last year so our Lab wouldn't die from heartworms I'm trying to keep up on the preventatives, plus the husband and I both need to desperately go to the doctors, I have a lot of old doctors bills I'm paying from being in the hospital for two days last May...the list of worries go on and on.
No calls for interviews this week or no callbacks from the Henry Ford job. An old friend from my last job emailed me today asking me to send her my resume because they were hiring in her department...ray of hope??
Ok...I'm through venting...Have a lovely afternoon all!
There is also a city job I'm going to go test for in another week that I tried for last year. Last year over a hundred people showed up and tested for it, so I'm expecting the same or even bigger crowd this year. I suck at tests..always second guess myself on multiple choice and am probably right the first choice I make and then I change it. I did pretty well on last years test. After receiving a letter from them saying I didn't make the cut I emailed them and asked how badly I did on the test. She wrote back and said I did pretty well, but that they only took the top 10 to interview and I didn't do that well 
. Oh well, gotta keep trying right??
