I filed a transfer request for my son last year before the school ended. He is starting kindergarten next week. The transfer request was for the school right next to his day care!
I got the call last week that his transfer request was approved!! YAY!
Then just a few days later, my whole plan and world got turned upside down for a day! It caused so much stress, planning, and more stress!
I was losing the daycare help through the state. Yes; That's the only help I get through the state. I pay taxes damn it, I should get the help. These people don't take into consideration your house payment or rent. Rent alone for a 2-3 bedroom is nearly $1000.00. We are buying our house and our payments are less than that. What about 400.00-600.00 for food a month to feed 7 people?! What about the car payment so we can make it to work?! What about insurance you are required to have on your car or you get ticketed?! What about the health care you are now required to have and is completely out of the roof for a family?! What about school supplies and clothes for the kids?! You basically live pay check to pay check just to make ends meet and have a little bit of entertainment (which I think should be required so you don't work yourself to death) only to be turned down for that little bit of help. Instead of the people trying to survive; help is given to those that don't have jobs, that don't really try to get a job, and that sometimes sit on their butts. (I'm not saying all people that get assistance are this way) I have seen it.. I know it happens.
No; according to them, I have what I make and I don't owe anything to anyone.
End of Rant!
:0) I lose daycare as of the first! Thank goodness my daughter is going into second grade so I only have to worry about her for couple hours out of the day.
In the moment I was stressed to the max! What was I going to do?! It worked out, because everything always does. I'm just glad I didn't have to quit my job.
Thank goodness for my job. They are allowing me to bring my son to work with me before class starts (afternoon kindergarten). I've just got to figure out how to keep him busy for 4 hours while at work. Locking a kid in an office for 4 hours will be tough, but I'm willing to try because I can't afford 800.00 a month in daycare! I hate paying someone to raise my kids anyways, but in order to live the least bit comfortably, we need a two income home.
It's amazing how things just turn for the worst instantly. That was my stressful week!
So after it's all said and done, I enrolled my kids into the school that is within our district. I lost daycare, no sense in my driving across town each morning. My daughter starts tomorrow and my son starts on Tuesday. This school is within a few minutes from work and home, which will cut down my mileage even more. haha. I could use a tank of gas in roughly a month. Cheyanne will be able to walk to school with her friends on our block. I'm just hoping this all goes smoothly. Fingers crossed for me!
PS. Does anyone have ideas on how to keep my son busy during the week. Monday-Friday 8-12pm. I'm planning on setting up a little work station for him so he can do learning, and coloring, but I've got a job to do, so all my attention can not be on him. :0(
