I am seriously thinking about quitting Kohl’s for good. I’m techincally working 4 jobs now, and it is getting to be a HUGE drag. My main source of income is child-care. I watch 3 girls for 45 hours a week making about $20 more a week than I made working 35 hours a week at Kohl’s. However, I am not on my feet all day, I get to be at home and I don’t have to use gas to get up there.

I have my photography business that is doing very well. I make enough off of that to support our spending habits

I just started doing freelance technical documentation for a medical spa… which eats my free time.

I hardly get to spend time with Paul.

If I quit Kohl’s. I would lose about $100 a week. In April, I’m getting another child… so I would make that back.

It is just becoming so emotionally, physically, and mentally draining and I am making myself sick… esp this week with Papa’s death and everything going on…

I just don’t know what to do. Any thoughts?

[EDIT]

I quit Kohl’s.

I got this from Myspace and I think it tells a lot about me.

01] Do you have the guts to answer these Q’s and re post as The Controversial Survey?
sure

[02] Would you do meth if it was legalized?
absolutely not

[03] Abortion: for or against?
Against 100%. There is a reason for everything and there is no evidence or hint to when a human soul is placed inside a fetus, therefore killing at any stage of pregnancy is murder.

[04] Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
No way! I think it would take a VERY strong woman who knows what she’s doing, how to overcome biggetry, and how to control her temper

[05] Do you believe in the death penalty?
Nope, lock ‘em up forever!

[06] Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?
yeah. I don’t smoke, but I think it would cut down on a lot of un-neccesary crime

[07] Are you for or against premarital sex?
It’s a choice that should only be made by adults who can handle the outcome of a child. I believe people should wait til they’re married, but I have no right to judge.

[08] Do you believe in God?
of course!

[09] Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?
Personally, I believe that marriage is a sacred bond between a man, woman and God. However, I can’t (again) judge someone for who they love. That is wrong.

[10] Do you think it’s wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?
You can’t blame someone for wanting a better life.

[11] A twelve year old girl has a baby, should she keep it?
If she entered into a relationship with the intent to have sex, then it is her decision to be an adult and raise the child. A 12 year old has no business having sex in the first place–that is disgusting.

[12] Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?
No

[13] Should the war in Iraq be called off?
You can’t call it off. We’re too far in over our heads to just pull out (that sounds really bad haha), but I think we should start making steps to recover Iraq instead of further demolish it and risk the lives of our soldiers.

[14] Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
Yes, God takes us when he wants us.

[15] Do you believe in spanking your child?
A swat every now and then is normal. I am the product of an abusive family life, I know the difference between a spank (thanks Grandpa… I know I needed it a few times) and being beat and abused (stupid asshole). However, I do believe that to really mold a child, you must talk to them, let them know WHY they got a swat, and how to keep from getting it again.

[17] Who do you think would make a better president? McCain or Obama?
McCain.

[19] Are you afraid others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
I, personally, don’t care. “Who are you to judge the life I lead? Before you go pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” Bob Marley.

Well, a lot has happened to our lives in the past month. I started watching children 40 hours a week. I’m still working about 15-20 hours at Kohl’s a week, too, to catch up on bills. Plus, with my photography, I’m busy as hell!

Speaking of photography– I think I have finally found my calling! I have two weddings in October, one in November, lots of family photos to take, a family reunion thing in three weeks that I have NO clue how this woman got my name… it is really taking off! I’m so blessed and thankful everyday that I am getting to do something that I LOVE to do! I thank God everday…

We went to look at couches this weekend. I think we decided on a microfiber one. We just can’t decide if we want the one from Sav-on or the one from Home Style Furniture in the mall. :/ There is a $150 price difference, but the more expensive one comes with a lifetime frame waranty. Paul said we have to pay off my camera equipment first.

In the market for a new car for me too. I want a Nissan Maxima. Or a Saturn Vue. Who knows.

I guess that is all for now.

Peace and Love.
