Hi Mamas,
It's September tomarrow, and we are moving into fall this month. That means we will be using our A/C less (depending on where you live) and the cooler days will be upon us by the end of the month.
I'm joining you ladies this month. Honestly, I always hope it will get better. I have hope against hope in my heart. I try my hardest, and yet things aren't looking better. I had a postpartum client who backed out because her MIL wanted to take care of the baby. Honestly, I was counting on that money to catch up with some bills and buy a pair of shoes.
The newest pair of shoes I have is a 3 year old pair of fake crocs, and they are horrible looking. They don't feel good either. My birkenstocks are completely worn out. They are 10 years old, and I've worn them into the ground. I went to price a new pair of birks the other day and they were $109 with a $10 discount. I'm nearly ready to ask the owner of the store to sell me the pair FOR $10. I have too much pride to do that, but really, how will I ever afford that? And I have wide feet, with some feet problems in the past. I stand for HOURS. I really do need a good pair of shoes for my feet. I feel frustrated.
I stood to make some serious money with my postpartum client, and I am still so bummed about that. I did apply for fs and got it and now I am due for a renewal in September (which means this is for October).
Many of you have it much worse, with more children ect, so I won't complain to much except to say, where will my clients come from? I need new clients and I need them now, to pay bills and buy my children's homeschool books.
Hope things are going better for everyone else!

: crap, crap, crap, crap, crap....... It does say that I *should* receive 100% of assistance available to me, but it won't go to my fuel supplier until January 15, 2010. I am so hoping that I get a better job between now and then so I can keep my heat on.

: i NEED good shoes--but there is no way i'm able to shell out $100 or even $60 (eBay price) for new Earth shoes. If i get that amount, it probably has to be spent on groceries! 
I hope you get some good clients coming your way soon, too... 
: for your interview Pumpkin Pie!!
