SO MAD!

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

Just have to vent! As many of you know (since you have all kindly supported me these past few weeks) I have been dealing with my mother and her many serious health issues and going back and forth to Bermuda and Boston from New Jersey, spending like $3000 on hotels and flights to do all this. I have been babysitting part time since I can;t get a fulltime job yet because I am student teaching in the fall to get my education certification (another $8000 to work full time for free basically) and I have only missed FIVE days of work, also giving the woman ample notice and even found someone to cover for me so she didn't have to worry about that. I contact her today to make sure I have the work schedule correct for next week and she tells me that she already asked the girl who was covering for me (a girl who I also got ANOTHER job for) so now that girl is getting MY $300! After I have been a PATIENT SAINT dealing with this woman's little demons! (When I say demon, I mean demon....like got expelled from summer camp at 7 years old demon), she doesn't have the respect to even check with me before she just gives my job to someone else.

Glad I'm planning a wedding too...thats just great when I can't even work in the summer! I think I may need to see if we can get our wedding deposits back because all of these unexpected costs, me not having a job because my college just wants to rip me off and rude rich people and their demon children are NOT GOING TO ALLOW ME TO START A MARRIAGE OFF HAPPILY on top of my family stress. AHHHHHHH!

Katie - deep breath!!!  Once you get over the shock of losing the demon sitting job, you may see all things happen for a reason and that something better might be coming your way!!!  Hang in there.

[Phoebe's Mom]

Losing a job is horrible and wretched.  My DH lost his 18 months ago and is still trying to find an other one.  That not lifting your spirits?  Didn't think so but I so agree with Jane...take a deep breath and maybe have a nice glass of wine.  Think about it, you clearly this was not the best job given the demonic tendancies of the child you were watching.  That must have been frustrating for you. I am sure that there is an even better nanny/babysitting job out there for you with a more pleasant child and atmosphere.  Perhaps,while you are still in school, you could tutor which pays very well and is flexible plus tutoring would give you excellent experience for the future.  Hang tough and think positively and creatively.  Who knows what might be next for you?

[Traci -Bexter & Maggie]

Yes - I would give your name to your principal/teachers at your school for anyone to contact you if parents are interested in tutoring.  Meanwhile, like Jane said, I bet something better will come your way.  I do think it was rude of the lady, though!

[Bonnie and Kona]

I can hardly imagine just how upset you are! You have too much on your plate. The level of stress over your mother's illness, finances, an up-coming wedding to plan and now the loss of your job. I hope that you are able to have a good hard cry and then begin afresh with hope and the strong conviction that you are going to be able to deal with each of these circumstances wisely and appropriately. Blessings to you.

[Leigh & Allie]

I am paying $450 for Allie to stay in a boarding/ day care center next week. Allie has a big room with a window and gets to go to day care and play all day. Maybe you can start a doggie day care/ boarding. I can tell you Allie would be much better then a demon child. Wish you lived in Memphis:0

[Jennifer and Jack]

I am sorry, I know how it stinks... I agree with Jane things happen for a reason. I don't say that from inexperience, I also recently had to stop stop working the lousy six hours a week my doctors would let me work because my health won't allow it ,. Right in the heat of the moment things seem unbearable, but when things like this happen you have to take just regroup and refocus, no amount of money in the world is worth watching demon kids. Have you not seen the exorcist??? 

 

Just kidding, I hope things settle down for you, don't jump to the gun on decisions, just weigh out your options.

[Leslie J]

I'm so sorry about what happened!  Sometimes life seems so unfair, doesn't it?

[Jennifer,Chloe & Myla]

Katie so sorry to hear all of this-you are trying to do the right thing for your mom and all the bad stuff happens. That wasn't fair for her to do to you but it may be a blessing. I hope tomorrow brings better things your way and prayers go out to your mom and you!

[Taylor & Huff]

What can I say? Hang in there. :)
