I'll start: I made it through a busy, sensory-stimulating event at the gym where I work and didn't get overwhelmed. I was still able to keep up.

Awesome!

I updated my resume and sent a couple applications today. I’ve been at the same job for four years (the longest I’ve been anywhere) and am getting burned out.

Cold calls

Door to door

Cash register

****Currently learning how to proofread/edit/blog so I can stay at home and take care of my kids****

I envy people who love their jobs and can do the same thing for 40 years!! !! However, having this many disparate jobs required me to acquire a range of abilities and breadth of knowledge that gives me a bit of confidence--I know I can do whatever is necessary to survive on my own.

Juggling kids and work, though, is a whole different ball game...

Dish washing at IHOP~ 10 months
Floor cleaning at WalMart~ 25 months
Custodian at a sporting goods store~ 3 months

I have a lot of physical & mental disabilities limiting me with finding employment & I haven't looked since I got together with my current girlfriend 7 years ago. I relocated to be with her & had a lot of adjusting to do. Plus she kinda likes & needs me around a lot cuz of her issues. I really need to get a part time job thou where I can keep my benefits. I was on SSI before I started working & it switched to Social Security Disability after I quit. I also have Medicare & Medicaid. We really could use some extra money coming in thou cuz we have a lot of debt. We're trying to get a new apartment & are on waiting lists for different places so my job search will have to wait.
