Life happens.

My student loans are literally going to kill me.  Maybe not literally, that just brings to mind a bunch of pieces of paper chasing after me with knives.  But either way, these monthly payments of $268 are going to be the death of me.  The second payment is due February 12th, but I decided to just pay it now and not have to think about paying another one until after February 12th.  Looking at my current bank account balance makes me so sad... I have enough in there right now to do one more payment...  Being an adult and paying for my own things is expensive and I don't like it.

My hours at work got cut, so now it's even more part time than it was before... one day a week.  Finding another job could not happen soon enough.  I love the daycare so much and I'll be so sad to so goodbye to the kids, but I need to find something where I have more hours.  I can't even almost pay back these loans with what I'm making right now, and that really really just sucks.

For the money challenge, right now I can only afford to put in small amounts.  Like I said in a previous post on here, I was expecting that life would happen and that there would be weeks where I couldn't put in the amount I was "supposed" to.  I don't want to give up on this challenge, not this early in the year.  So I'm just putting in smaller amounts and checking those amounts off the list.  I think I know what I want to do with the money, so I definitely don't want to give up.

But on the positive side - because I cannot let myself post nothing but negative things - I'm going to another place tomorrow to talk about a job position, so fingers crossed about that!  Even if it's part time, if I can get more than one day a week, it'll be more than I have right now.. which would be really good.
