Or a multi task job for a company. Hospital administration.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-35687020716216315012013-10-23T09:59:24.512-05:002013-10-23T09:59:24.512-05:00My husband is self employed also, so I work full t...My husband is self employed also, so I work full time so that I can provide health insurance for our family. I think that once you start earning a regular paycheck AND have good affordable health insurance, the burden will ease up on both of you considerably. No it won't be ideal - but it will be better than it is now and that's what you need. There is a lot of comfort in knowing that even if something happened to my husband, I could still carry our family (it would be tough, but we could at least keep the house and pay our utilities). <br /><br />I'm so sorry you are having such a rough time. You are a smart and dedicated worker and you won't have any trouble finding a job, I'm sure of it. Just keep hanging in there and don't be afraid to reach out for help. Now is the time you need to let people help you. (and by "people" I mean me. :) )<br /><br />xoxo<br />Jill A https://www.blogger.com/profile/18314858719315620032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-73473565603204960592013-10-23T07:02:18.352-05:002013-10-23T07:02:18.352-05:00Huge huge hug for you comrade.

Register with placement agency, fill out application, send resume. Two new contacts a day when there is no immediate fit/answer. <br /><br />I agree, you really need to do this for your family right now and to protect you and the kids in the future (hopefully nothing happens to your hubby, but you are in precarious state if it does with the way things are right now).Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.com
