Job hunting?

Ok here's the thing. I hate jobs! I hate the word job and every time I think about getting another job, I envision myself hating that job as well but I NEED and want more money. Because $20.00 dollars for food a week just isn't gonna cut it. So, here's what I've been thinking, if I'm gonna get another job it needs to be something where I don't have to be supervised, I don't have to do much, I don't have to be on my feet all day, and I get paid at least $18.00 an hour. The only thing that comes to mind is a security guard (if your lucky enough to find it), and truck driver. I don't want to do either! lol So over the New Years holiday I kept going back and forth on what is my next move?, what am I gonna do? And then it hit me, DAY CARE! I've thought about doing this before but I feel more serious about it this time. I figure if I set up a day care I will be in the comfort of my own home, I can set my own hours and pay, and I won't have a boss on my back because I'll be the boss. The only thing is that it will be involved because kids are very active little people but I don't mind that. I know it won't be easy all the time but I do know it will be a hell of a lot better than what I'm dealing with now. So now it's time to get serious! I told you guys that I would be sharing everything I do so there's no wondering about the how's and when's. Here is my plan of action:

Complete the day care application 

Get the house ready for the inspection

Research what people are charging in my area

Get approved

Advertise my butt off

I'm gonna give myself 2 months to get it all together, the rest is out of my hands.

Today I wanted to do something soft an simple so I came up with this combo. 

The Real Food Challenge "Kinda" lol

    For the month of January I want to do a food challenge each week and layer the challenges to see how well can I adapt to a healthier way of eating. Next month I will be doing my best to maintain consistency. So for this weeks food challenge, I am going to be doing the Real Food Challenge. From what I read you have to eat organic fruits and veggie, drink natural juices, teas, milk and can have package items with 5 ingredients in it or less. That’s all fine and dandy but organic food cost to damn much and I am on an extremely tight budget of $20.00 for this week so I plan on following the rules BUT not buying organic until I can afford organic and I won’t be following the juice part at all! Right now I need my diet drinks until I get the hang of making delicious teas. Now that we are got that out of the way, this is what my grocery list looks like:

Shrimp

Chicken Breast

Cauliflower

Celery

Salad

Tomatoes

Red Onion

Salad Dressing

Head Lettuce

Green Bell Pepper

I do have some things in my fridge that I don’t have do buy (thank god!) so I just be ok with this list. I’m praying I will be able to get everything for $20.00 dollars and I will report back with the haul. In my weight loss video/blog psot, I am going to show what meals I made with this list. Wish me luck!!!! :O)

Update!

I spent $28.56, which is a total fail to me. The only reason why I was able to spent the extra $8.56 is because I did a return today on my mother’s pour shield guard that I got for her Kitchen Aid mixer and also with the help of some change in my purse. I really was trying to save as much as I could but I have a bad habit of spending every dime to my name and being broke until the next payday! Ugh! Lol I did have to get some things that weren’t on my shopping list like baking soda and green onions but those 2 things are not the reason why I went over budget. That’s ok, I plan on doing a $20.00 budget next week as well until I am successful and I will continue to do this until I start making more money. Now lets pray that this food will last until Friday! Lol :O)

Level One

Hey lovelies!

 Today I want to talk about upgrading my life and yours too. I feel like, as I’m getting older I’m wasting my time working jobs I could care less about, stressing about losing weight EVERY FREAKIN YEAR, and never being able to go on vacation whenever I want. I really want to find ways to generate large amounts of money and find a fulfilling career. I’m pretty sure I want to be an affiliate marketer but I need to get really serious about it. I figure if I’m going to get serious about affiliate marketing then I need to make sure I document my success and failures and help as many people as possible along the way. I’m also going to try my hand at investing and anything else that will help you and me make some extra money.

  So have you ever heard of a computer game called world of war craft? My brothers use to play this game a lot, me? Never could get into it when I saw them playing but my brother found a guy that applied the principles of the game into his own life with great results. So he decided to do the same thing and guess what? It’s actually working for him as well. From what he told me, in world of war craft, you have to level up to get stronger armor and become more powerful but leveling up takes a long time. So he wrote on a piece of paper that he was at level 1 with nothing. To get to level to he needs to get a car and a job. Well he now has a car thanks to the down payment from my grandma who called him out of the blue telling him that she wanted to get him a car and me putting the car in my name since I have a job, but get this I DON’T HAVE A DAMN CAR!!!!!! Lol I’ve been using my parents’ car since mine gave up the ghost last year October. I didn’t think a dealership would let me drive off the lot with a car but guess what Nissan did. I still can’t believe it, only because I realized I could have save up my own down payment and got me a car a long time ago. So I said all that to say this. I’m going to try this level up thing and see how it works for me. If you like the idea you can try it too. How I plan on helping you guys is by documenting my success and failures along the way so you can see how I’m actually acquiring these things. So tell me what you think. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
