There was a time when Sherri was a baby that we were ****ing poor and couldn't afford ****. Fortunately the place I was working at offered up tons of overtime because they were so back-logged.

Monday thru Friday I worked 8:00AM to 8:00PM. Then on Saturday I worked 8:00AM to 1:00PM. Twenty hours of overtime.

Saturday afternoons and all day Sunday I worked as a short order cook at this place, RIP. Best ****ing pork cutlet subs ever.



All tolled it was a 70-75 hour week for a couple of years. We did not want to do day care. Linda was able to stay at home and earn some extra bucks watching a few of our friend's kids.

You do what you gotta do.
