Our bills are hitting hard. We're starting to fall behind again. Not too far, just far enough to be annoying. John is working 12 hr days so he can double his paycheck so we can get caught up again and stay ahead.
I've tried talking to John about me getting a job but he doesn't think it would work out. First, I'd have to find a job that is practically 24 hrs because I'd only be able to work the graveyard shift because my school gets out at 9:30. I'd have to get up early in the morning possibly for Logan's school depending on if he gets morning kindergarten or afternoon kindergarten. Maybe I'd get a nap in before I'd have to go to school. Second, good luck finding someone who is going to hire a person who hasn't worked in 6 yrs because she's been home raising babies. The only plusses I've got going for me is that I got my associates for business last year (which in this day and age, probably doesn't mean shit anyway) and that I'm currently going to cosmetology school (but only if I could find a 24 hr salon who gives a shit).
John won't let me quit school, either, so I could work during the hrs I would normally be at school plus weekends. He said he probably makes more working 12 hr days then what I could pull in. So ultimately, I feel at a loss and it is seriously bothering me. I hate living paycheck to paycheck trying to figure out what bills we could be a bit late on just so the kids have food or we have just enough money to cover rent.
Of course with our luck, by the time we get on top of things, SOMETHING is going to happen to set us back once again. It always always always happens.

Don't feel old. You're barely older than me.
And I don't either! So crazy that things happen like that... play with his cousin? Weird... That's a long time to pound on a door. Do you think they knew you were home? I've had that happen before, but it was in our old apartment, after the whore ex roommate moved out. She slept with tons of guys all the time, she had one steady one who even beat his girlfriend after our roommate said she didn't want to be in a relationship, just fuck, and he'd pound on our door for 20 minutes sometimes when I was home ALONE. Kind of the stalker type. They still live in the complex, him and his girlfriend...who he's still with, after he got sent to jail for beating her... 
To this day I don't like seeing him.

Yeah, stay in school. It should be worth it in the long run. Those 12 hour days can suck if you do too many back to back. You can pull some nice $$$ in with them though. Right up until the point you hit a certain limit and Uncle Sam taxes you more 
How old are your little rugrats anyways? You said you were considering school for them soon?

The paycheck to paycheck thing does suck, the same happens to me every time i get ahead something comes up. I agree with John that you should stay in school, although it makes things harder now in the long run it will be best to get it finished. You guys will get it all worked out.
