A New Year, a Fresh Start?

Caroline didn't go back to school today due to a nasty cold. I do hope that when she does return, those two girls will be considerably nicer. If the ugliness (bullying) continues, and nothing changes, then we will look for another school at the end of January, before the start of the spring semester. I really hope that we don't have to do that. That would be a major bummer.

Sunny and freezing cold here. I found out I accidentally paid Caroline's private school tuition twice at the end of December, and I can't get the bank or the finance service to reverse it. And then we found out that a new transmission for our minivan will cost $4000!!! This is not the right time to see over $4000 leave our accounts. I told Bill maybe I should get a part time (actually I meant to suggest a full time job), but he really doesn't want me working outside the home because of the myriad of doctor's appointment Caroline has, in combination with three others', and the fact that we never know if Caroline won't be able to handle school again, and need to be homeschooled, or whatever. Oh well. I see his point.

I need to think of more creative ways to bring in money out of the home. Thinking, thinking....
