One thing is without hot water we have to go places (moms and sisters to take showers, which takes more time.) Plus I had cooked a turkey and got grease all inside stove, but I had nothing to clean it with. So I couldn't cook here for days. So I was cooking at my sister's, again taking more time than needed. Finally did self clean (we all, including dog, had to be out of house 3 hours, which is why it took me so long to do.)

I have to get off computer so I can finish up Josh's school work with him so I can bring them to their Grandmother's so I can go to work. I am really grateful for all the babysitting jobs, but I wish I had more cleaning jobs. I make about $10 an hour babysitting. With cleaning (with the exception of Tues.) I make about $20 an hour. But some money is better than none.
