You make plans and God laughs...

So a couple weeks ago I got a bit blindsided at work.  As soon as I got in, I was called to the office of one of my managers.  She advised me that they were letting me go.  I was shocked and confused. 

Mostly, I was concerned about my little girls.  I had been trying to get my bills in order and under control before the girls came, so I could handle everything after they arrived.  Alas, this new twist messed my plans quite a bit.

So, I'm slowly getting back on my feet and getting the apartment in order.  Since I'm not bringing any money in, I am keeping up more of the chores and prepping for our move when the lease is up in May.  I wish I could afford to be a stay-at-home mommy, but that's just not in the cards right now.

I have applied for government assistance for the first time ever.  It's a crazy and overwhelming process!  Honestly, that's the major stress in my world right now.  I am looking for a new job, but I'm not expecting many companies will want to hire someone who is six months pregnant.  I'm trying to be positive, but some days it is more of a challenge.

If anyone has any brilliant ideas on how to actually earn a living while taking care of my girls, I'm all ears.  Sadly, I'm not great at sales, so all of the options of having sales parties don't seem to work for me.  But I'd love to be able to do some photography!  

So wish me luck and let me know if you have any ideas!  :)
