Every now and then, a month comes along where there just isn't enough money. This month happens to be one of those months. I have been super stressed, worrying about how I am going to pay all my bills. My car's transmission is going out, which means eventually I will need to buy a new car. I pray every night that I can make it to February, that way I can use my tax refund to buy something dependable. The kids also go back to school in two weeks, and I don't have even half of their supplies yet. Thankfully their dad bought them new shoes, so I don't have to worry about that.
All this stress has we wondering if I should try to find a second job. I know there are a lot of people out of work, and finding a job I can work only on the weekends will be hard, but I have to do something. I know I could probably work weekends at the McDonald's I used to work at, but I have been away from fast food for a long time, and I dread going back to it. But, it's not like I can become an Atlanta Private Detective or something like that.
I usually make enough money blogging every month to pay for gas and all the "extra's", but this is a slow payout month, so gas has to come out of my paychecks. I know gas here is cheaper than it is in other parts of the country, but it still costs an arm and a leg to fill my car.
I know September will be better. I just need to make it through August.

You and I are in the same boat. Here's hoping we both make it through August!
I understand your dilemma, I am right there with you...it is so frustrating...wishing you only the best and hoping things will pick up for you soon...I will keep you in my prayers...
Sorry you're having a hard time of it. I hope things get better soon. I think we are all having the stress of not having the money we feel we need to send our kids back to school with good clothes and supplies. At least the ex bought shoes. Wish mine would.
