If it's a new year, why does it feel so much like the old one?
If I were still in Ohio my best friend would probably be moving in with me, possibly forcibly, by the end of the month. Forcibly because it would be about an hour drive to where her mom lives and she doesn't like being far from her family. Obviously she likes her family.
The woman works three jobs and can't afford to live. She babysits three kids almost every single day, she works in a flowershop for her family and she 'hauls Amish'. Hauling Amish: Amish don't drive, therefore they call someone to drive them where they need to go, dubbed hauling amish.
Being as she's a single white female and has no children of her own, the county she lives in refuses to be of any assistance. She's lucky to have heat. She has a cell phone but she doesn't have a house phone, no cable, no internet, she had heat thanks to the system and her landlord is on the borderline of being a stalker.
If I won the lottery tomorrow, which I won't because I don't play, she'd be one I'd give money to. I know she'd open a daycare and run it the way it's supposed to be and the kids would not only get taken care of but have fun and learn things, too.
If anyone is looking to invest in opening a daycare that she could run, let me know... she'd be thrilled.
