About that extra income

I thought that maybe hubby and I could earn some extra income by helping out my parents. We've been helping them out, but not in a employee-employer situation this week. My dad has been really ill and has been in the hospital and we have been running back and forth visiting, and I have been making lots of phone calls to try and secure him a place in a decent rehabilitation facility. Obviously, family comes first, so I am glad that our energy has paid off, but I am worried about how we are going to catch up.

I think my hubby will do some handyman type work for them this week, and that should help us pay off some of our essentials. Also, we heard from his job that he will probably be back on the project next week, so we'll be seeing some paychecks coming in soon. In the meantime, I am going to try to pull money out of my ears.

With the way the economy is, there have been all sorts of news stories and articles on how to save money and cut out non-essential expenditures. But, I feel like we are already doing a lot of that- ie. no cable, not spending a lot of money eating out, etc. I'm going to "sleep on it."
