The Last Six Weeks...

What have the last six weeks been like?

Well... That is how I have to start because I do not know where to start. Within the last six weeks, I have regained custody of my 15 year old daughter, Megan. I have started a new term at Kaplaln University, College Composition II and Anatomy and Physiology II. I have also been to court for back child support, and was found in contempt. Meaning, I need to spend 25-30 hours a week trying to find work to pay my child support when my child now lives with me. To top matters off, I live in a very rural area with no bus service, and I do not have a vehicle. How would the judge like me to do this?

Well, my fiance's boss kind of took pity on me. He told me he would give me a vehicle as long as I was available to take his wife and three daughters wherever they needed to go. Well, this is a good thing. They are Amish, and they rely on a driver to go far distances. This is even better. I am allowed to use the vehicle for my own personal use, as long as I supply my own fuel. Great!! I love driving them. I love the children that I sometimes ferry back and forth to school because the Amish holidays are not the same as ours. I do not mind being on call for them. But, how do I find a job in the meantime that will not interfere with school and these wonderful women's schedule? I am in big trouble right now. The best I can do actually working a job, would be 2 nights a week. I will not work on a Sunday. WHO IN THE WORLD WOULD HIRE ME? So what am I to tell the judge when I go in there and  tell him, no I have not looked for work? Any ideas anyone? I am scared I am going to go to jail.

This has been my last six weeks......

  1. Dang, Kelly, you have a full plate! I suggest you try a couple of little stores and see if they would give you a few hours. And, document your job search, date, place, and who you talked to. You want proof that you are looking. Good luck darlin!

  2. Sue,
    Thanks, but that is not going to get me 25-30 hours a week looking for work. I dont know what to do. Thanks for the comment though. :)
