    Default spend less and make more

    really that is the only way to get out of debt.

    We were doing so great but even though we planned well for my being off work and the medical expenses we pretty well wiped out the savings and then of course things broke and a client left and no new clients in my childcare... It has been bad for all childcares lately

    Anyway I signed up 2 part time boys yesterday. so hopefully we will be again well on the road to debt free by Spring.

    You're so right Meg gotta watch what you spend and save even more! I hope you get out of debt soon. I hope my dh can get a job soon he's taking classes this week to upgrade his skills. We really need medical and eye insurance again!

    Hope things start improving for you. Maybe with the 2 new kids word of mouth will get you another one.

    Fingers crossed for you.

    maybe you could put the word out that you would be willing to sit for a few hrs in the evenings or on sat/sun so that parents could get out and get some x-mas shopping done or perhaps even a date or two....

    I suppose that would work but not going there... even though baby sitting actually pays better than childcare per child

    big difference in childcare/preschool and baby sitting... LOL 10 hour days are enough for me.
