I currently work from 8:30-5. I could sleep from 6-10, work from 11-4, catch a nap from 5-6 and then start over and catch up on sleep and "time" on the weekends. I might also work 2 nights during the weekends. They are a 7 day a week operation.
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I don't know WHY we need the money. I really don't. I look at our budget and wonder WTF?
Have you done that thing where you track every single thing you spend money on, write it down?
When we did that, the first item was: "$1.29 - Target - notebook to track expenses."
Seriously, though, it helps with seeing where exactly the money does go. We were pretty shocked, and we thought we were pretty frugal. This might help you with sticking to the budget, therefore not necessitating a second job.
I wouldn't have said anything except for how you phrased it.

But we need the money.
You need sleep and time with your family, too. I hatessss the idea of you giving these things up because of budget pressures. ::shakes fist at universe::

I actually do KNOW where the $$ goes - I don't have groceries, car gas, or cigarettes worked into our budget. It's mostly just a list of bills subtracted from our take home pay.

Ah. So the second job would cover these expenses?

Oh, honey. Even if you manage to fall asleep immediately each time, that's 5 hours a night. You'll burn out so fast, it won't be worth it.

This is true.

And, honestly, I can't imagine it being more than 4 hours a night, really. There's always something. Phone calls, baby girl, dumb dog, spazzy cat, hungry husband.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy birthday, Nora!
I had a gay friend who thought it was cool when straight women had crushes on him. He would flirt up a storm with these women and do other things to encourage the crushes.
In Teppy's shoes, I would be so tempted to mention this story to Crush!Boy next time he acts up. OTOH it might not be conducive to actually being friends.

Aimee, your sanity is worth more than that! I feel like Peaches the Starfish: "There has to be another way!!!"
