wish him luck!!

emrhubby has licensing tomorrow for EMR. wish him luck!! <3
i know you'll do it sexy man!

below is a look at emrhubby's pre-reading for the Paramedic course! and all his fancy notes :D
if i could actually express how proud i am of him... well, i can't. i'm emotionally weird that way. when he finds out this blog exists, perhaps he'll finally know.
in the mean time our friends and family are way too proud of him. <3 and tell him ALOT! i try but i can't say things out loud that well. i'm more of a writer.


a new day...

so i kinda, maybe might have panicked a bit more than i should have yesterday...
though that wcb letter was frightening... emrhubby just got off the phone and they said they never got his form back that they had sent him... the form they had said to disregard but in any case - haha - that is all it is. so he'll get another sent to him and then everything will be peachy and our plans will continue on. we also worked on getting our truck payment taken care of while he's off work as well. it's a hefty bill each month and if we bought the insurance we might as well use it!
to say the least... i'm so thankful and relieved. though yesterday it did kick me in the butt a bit and realize how much money i can make if i try. it also made me realize that my novel series is either something i should follow through on or not at all and let it go.
after sending out the first chapter to anyone that volunteered on facebook, i had 3 responses back today and they all liked it and i wanted BRUTAL HONESTY and they said this...


  • It's awesome!
  • It truly is.
  • I want to read more.
  • And I'm not just doing this for shits and giggles.

    •  liked it!
    • i finished and my brain went WHERES CHAPTER 2!!

      • It
      • is
      • WONDERFUL
      • It sounds like a published piece already.

      • So I'm totally excited considering i wanted the most honest opinions EVER and asked for it. i have a few more people reading it and i'm excited to hear their thoughts but wow, maybe i could actually go somewhere with it this time and NOT chicken out!! ??

i can panic or i can fix this.

WHAT DO I DO... WE DO... i'm literally paralyzed in fear.
i've never felt my body so wracked in stiffness.  i've sat here the last 3 months and watched my husband try and try and try. i've watched him give everything he's got. i've watched him run and climb and be amazing. all so he can do what he wants. all the while dealing with his idiot company. and in july he was assulted. and today we got a letter in the mail from wcb explaining there was not enough information to proceed with the claim so it's suspended. when wcb sat there and told us over and over that it would be fine. that my husband has a past history from when he was assaulted before. for the first time in my life i sit here not knowing what to do. i know i should not let this stop us. this is a bump. though it maybe be huge, he will not go back to that crappy job and be assaulted anymore. he will not be forced into anything anymore.
i've done. i know this where i need to step up. i need to figure this out. we need to. we have alot. a house, car payments, bills, debt.... it's like the weight of the world. his schooling that we just paid for... so he can change and never have to go on wcb ever again. or sick benefits. or anything...
last night i sold our horse trailer. that's 2,600 that we were going to dump into our credit card and pay it off. but now we don't know. i should know. i should have an answer for this.
i maybe a stay-at-home mom but i'm smart. i'm smart and i can figure this out. how can i get us through these next 6 months... how can i make this work. how can i pull money from the sky and feed us, pay our bills and still not require daycare.

i'm visual, so let's go through my options... I need to replace $2,200 a month...

1) blow out portrait sessions for $50 a pop (normally $175) - they'll be scooped up instantly 

2) go do part time barn work locally. at a rate of $50-60 a day generally 2 days a week. 

3) take a full time daycare. $700-1000 month likely... 

4) get my book published... get is signed. get something with it!!!! this goal would be a $500,000 advance !! 

5) go work at my old job as a makeup consultant but risk needing daycare. $1,000 mnth 

6) sue Zellers for a cart breaking and my toddler falling out? hmm (yea that happened)

but in all reality, i can and will figure this out. and i dont care if emrhubby needs to quit his dumbass job and stick it. i will figure out a way to make the money we need and pay off our dumb debt. im determinted. now universe agree with me. throw out a sign at me and let's get on this!! i've had enough of waiting around for people. my hubby is going to school and our life will be good and continue on and we will have everything we have now and more!
