Aaand...she's back again

I'm trying out the idea of having separate blogs for my separate interests again. I think this might be more about politics and such - more of the "grown-up" side of me that has nothing to do with being a mother. Yes, it's hard to separate many things from being a mother, but it's nice to have something that is mine rather than my family's, if that makes any sense. Anyway.

Over the past 6 months or so, our finances have become a serious issue. Mr. Evil had to take a big pay cut in order to continue working, and he didn't get any sort of severance package whatsoever (please don't ask). I should say I'm limited in what I can actually do (like useful money-making skills). I pretty much suck at anything other than music, and it's been 7 years since I have had any students at all. In those 7 years, the opportunities for advertising have slowly gone away. At least out here in the Middle of Nowhere. We have no actual community bulletin board that I know of, no real community center, not even a coffeehouse anymore. There is a bulletin board at the library, but I think it's more for community events than actual businesses. But it never hurts to ask...

The one place where I could advertise would be at church. That's out for fairly obvious reasons (re: my other blog). I'm not quite sure what to do next. There is always McDonalds or Target, but that would mean working nights and weekends. You don't want to know the fights we've gotten into over that one.
