I'm gonna be in USAToday!

The local Business reporter emailed "me" (as part of a reader feedback panel thing), asking if due to the economy, I'd had to cut back or modify my expenses. To which I commented about having to hold 3 jobs as a single mom, with limited options to move in my area - I make too much for most of the complexes around here - they're "tax credit" aka Income Restricted. I make too much for most, yet at the one I am living at, 45+% of my primary income post-tax is going for rent alone.

Anyhow, apparently I have enough of a sob story - or am like enough other folks... I've been selected to get my picture taken & used for the article!! They want a pic of me @ my apt as well as at the 2nd job *at night*.

At least I made sure to not throw the ex under the bus - he's making the effort to be helpful w/ childcare on wkends I can get extra shifts... only took him almost 32 months...but he's trying.

And, since my boss knows I'm looking, she'll try to work in that I'm trying to get ONE job that will pay the bills. :)

*send happy thoughts*
