Summertime Sadness

But, not really! I just thought of that song as I was thinking about summer. (My fiance, My Freddy B, loves that song!) 

There's no better time than summer, especially when that well deserved break comes along, that I have worked my tail off for all school year. However, before we get all "teachers have it made"... Let me just say that while I may have finished work on June 8th, I will NOT be paid again until Aug. 31st. Yeah, you read that right! A ridiculous amount of time, to stretch the very small amount of money I was paid out for the remainder on my contract. 

With that being said, I have begun to fill out applications for part time positions to pick up while I am on summer break. Is it considered a break if I am working part time? Well, it'll be a mental break! ;) I was speaking with a friend this morning about summer & working. She made a valid point, that if the job is something you enjoy, it's almost a benefit. You make money while getting a brain break because it's something you enjoy. There's a saying about that right? Something along the lines of, if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. 

That's what I am hoping for! :) 

There's another part of me that would really just love to be home for the entire summer & work on the projects that have piled up around the house. However, in my convo this morning with my friend, she made another great point! (She's so smart! I miss her dearly!) She said, those projects around the house end up costing money too. While you're working on them, you think, "Oh! I need this! I'll go to Target!" And if you are anything like me... I can NEVER get out of Target for under $80+. EVER! 

So, here's to part time job happiness and good times! :)
