I don’t often mix my business stuff with this blog. But today, I make an exception. I won’t bore you with stats and other things. See that 125 banner over there on the right? The one that talks about Matrix Madness, That’s a program I have been a member of for awhile now. Honestly I haven’t done much with it. But the other day I got paid. Now it wasn’t a lot of money. However, it was money for working the program. I cannot/ will not guarantee you will make any money. I do know, if you do nothing, you will certainly not make any money. Go check out the link, and if it seems good to you, sign up. I will even let you put your banner on this blog for a short period of time if you join under me. Or click here
Just a quick update. I’d always seen things in movies or on tv where the character talks about having the breath knocked out of them. I never knew what that felt like until today. I had to go get something out of my car this am. I wasn’t paying attention to the stairs (there are 5) or the distance from top to bottom probably 6 feet total. One second fine, next airborne. Well I’m not sure falling on one’s own ass is technically airborne or not.
Ok, it wasn’t exactly my ass either. It was more like my back just above my waist (hit one step) and just below my shoulder blades (hit another step).
I couldn’t breathe for what was only maybe a few seconds, but it felt a lot longer than that. I got up, calmed down and remembered how to breathe. It hurts like hell. No insurance means no Dr, but if it’s not better tonight I guess I’ll have to self pay at an ER or urgent care place YAY.
I need to find employment, I also need to get after school care for my kids. I’m not one to just trust my kids to any old “Day Care” facility. When my daughter was very young, we sent her to a licensed care place in Ohio. She was one of only like 6 babies. They forgot to feed her one day.
We tried a private sitter, that sucked as well. Ive been a stay at home dad fro almost 12 years now.
I know many people would see no issue with leaving her home alone for a few hours after school. We are not those parents. Not saying she wouldn’t be fine, but there’s always that “what if” scenario in the back of your mind.
Because they go to different schools, it’s not practical to pick them up at the same time, even though school ends at the same time for both(Stupid idea that).
So I need to work to pay for after care and I need after care to work. See my dilemma here?
After school is also on the expensive side. Add another problem to the list.
We’re officially NJ residents again. I’m not going to say it was easy. Well easy to leave PA. Didn’t really have to think about that at all. Also we did all the packing and loading. Thanks to my dad and brother, we got the truck unloaded here. My dad was a really big help in that regard. It will probably take 30 years err a year to get everything put away somewhere. We went from 3/4 of a duplex to approximately 1/2 of a duplex. But it’s worth it. We went from a mediocre school in pa to one in the top 30 here.
Now, I need to find a job. It’s not easy given several factors. We have one car and the kids go to different schools. The furthest from here is about a mile one way, the other is slightly closer. It’s really too far for me to walk with my kids. Plus, my wife’s job is about 20 minutes up the parkway. There is public transportation, but due to the layout, she’d have to go to Newark switch trains and go to her job. It’s also a 2 hour train ride to go 20 minutes. Makes no sense. So, drop off the kiddos and take her to work. They get out at 2:50 she gets off work at 6.
So, I need a job where I can start at 9:45ish and get off no later than like 2:30.Or find something that starts at like 8:00 pm and never sleep. I’m thinking there aren’t a lot of jobs like that out there. Even if we had 2 cars, I’d still need to be able to pick the kids up from school. I don’t know of any after school programs around here that would pick them up from school.
Aside from that, this town may yet turn out to be my favorite place to live in NJ. It’s got so much to do, unlike hell err Hazleton was. No driving 20 miles for a book store or decent restaurant. We’re within a few miles of almost any store I could think of needing. We’re also within 10 miles of my sister and mom. No more 5 hour trips to come here, see the family and drive back to PA in the same day (TY for doing that baby).
So, we’re settling in and I’ve sort of got my pc hooked up for now. Just need a desk and place to put it(out of the way).
I’ts been a few weeks since my last entry and I missed it.I’ve also missed my twitter buddies.
