I can't decide what to do

I am waiting for my seasonal boss to call, usuall mid February I start work again for a few days aweek then, come May ish I start full time 7 days a week. During the summer months the money, and work is steady. I usually work 3pm - 9pm sometimes even as late as 2am. What I can figure out he tossed all the other workers, or they found other jobs. He kept repeating if I was coming back. I said yes, and I mean he is an amasing boss (sometimes I disgree but overall). But it's the fact I am out fo work 5 months of the year, it slows down, and the odd day iin September, then nothing until February. I think he wants me for deliveries this year as well, which is cash. I can make up to $900 per run, whether it be to the US, or to Alberta. I told him I will take any hours, and if my seasonal job is out, then I can work more hours. The lady that works during the day only works 3 -4 hours most days, and I get the rest. Now when I am out of work 5 months, he can;t pay me (he doesn't basically run those months), I can't collect unemployement (as I get declined), I do work my day job (as far as I know it will be continuing unless they say so come spring), and I am trying to keep the pet store but she is really getting on my nerves. I want to apply else where for the money, but then I know come summer I will be run off my feet, then nothing for months. I can't buy a place, and survive from going from $3400 a month to $1385 and survive. To pay my bills with a mortgage I need minimum about $2800 a month.
