Well just will say felt like crap yesterday, so pretty much worked, slept, got up made dinner, and slept more. Today worked till about 2 and found out I lost 16 more signs. Now I am debating letting that side job go. Just not making much sense with only 80 signs and all the driving. Hardly worth the money now. Plus I love getting my kids on Friday night.
So Clayton missed a bunch of school a few weeks ago and he still has a few assignments to catch up on. Will be done tomorrow or no fair for him. He had a pretty rough day. Kids started to make fun of him for being in a class to help him focus and calling him names and stuff. He bust into tears when I got to his house and we were leaving. Said he didn't feel well, kids upset him, and he just wanted to chill. I can kind of relate to him. I used to cry as a kid in middle school because people made fun of my teeth. As I got older I learned they were just idiots, and by the time I hit High School, I was a pretty big guy and just whooped their ass if they messed with me. Fixed it pretty quick. So I had a long talk with him about how to deal with the kids and to laugh at them and say Hey your cool. And ignore it. Easier said I know then done. I told him it will be tough, just feel bad for him. He is sensitive, to much sometimes, and I know that makes it harder. He will have to push through and I will just keep telling him to ignore them. He had gone through this before, but been a while and it always passed.
So I forgot to mention how my day started. Danielle calls me twice at 6:30 and I see it when I get up at 7. I call her right away and was like is everything alright, fearing something bad has happened, and her question for me was "Where are Clayton's Pants?" I was still half asleep and could barely mutter a response to this. I was speechless. Really? He has one pair of pants? I always keep their clothes from when they are here and send them home clean the next time they come over. I refuse to send home dirty clothes. I get dirty clothes sometimes and its pretty lame I think. Anyway, all I could think is she is 6 months pregnant and I will just keep my mouth shut. Plus I can sound like a blubbering idiot when I just wake up. She did send them each with money for the fair, which was awesome for me. Really tight right now.
About to crash. Have a busy day tomorrow. Next week will be super busy at work. I have tons of orders to get together, which is good and have to visit lots of customers. Trying to get my boss to sell a ton of old clothing he has had boxed up on shelves for many years, but he wont let it go. Not cheap enough for me to sell at flea market. He see's value in some crazy things. Was hoping to convince him because I could have done a lot of time at flea market on all the stuff they have. Oh well. I just have to find some way to make a steady second income. Might call it quits on the signs in the next few weeks. After expenses I am making about $40 and working about 5 hours. Lost so many signs and the ones I have left are so far apart don't make any sense. If I could sell four necklaces a week I could make that. Could sit on a corner downtown and make more then that. Need to get a plan together and get my site back up and running and a deal with the candle lady I met to sell her candles. Maybe label as mine. Not sure yet. Good Night.
