What a Smashing Night!

So my friend came over last night, who I haven't seen since October of 2006. She is getting married on March 29th so she had lots of fun wedding plans to share with me. I'm now seriously thinking about revising my resolutions because my lovely husband smashed into her car. I still can't believe this happened! He's not used to having someone in the driveway and he usually centers his car in the garage since we only have one car so all those added up into two smashed cars. My friend has had so many car accidents that she took this one rather well but again was she going to be a bitch, probably not, under the circumstances? I felt terrible and still do. We don't have the money for this and we certainly can't afford our insurance rates to go up. I didn't sleep well at all last night because I'm trying to figure out a way to make some money and contribute to our family in case my husband's second job ends. It's temporary so we never know when it's going to end. We have money in savings but I don't want to use it now when we actually have him working two jobs just in case we might need it more when he doesn't have the second job. It's always something, I swear! For all the times things have worked out for us, we've had double the amount of things not work out.

R took Little man to return something so I have the place to myself, and it's actually clean since I went into a cleaning frenzy last night since my friend was coming. I'm going to be taking a walk soon and hoping that helps my mood. I hate when things like this happen because it sends me into worrying about money mode and life is no longer fun. I did call my district office and got information about substitute teaching. I have to send an e-mail on Monday to get more information and set up an appointment. You have to interview with the superintendent of the the schools before subbing because he likes to know who's going to be in the buildings. They pay pretty good $89.60 per day but then I don't really end up making that much because daycare for Little man for 1 day costs $40. There's a shortage of subs though so hopefully I'll be able to get some jobs. My mom also offered to come for days so I could sub in which case that would be free for childcare.
