Are you like me? Money hungry? I work two jobs. My full time day job is at a orthopaedic practice. I work in their accounting department. My schedule there is 8 to 5 Monday to Friday. A couple nights a week, I work for a Karaoke bar as a waitress. I start at 7pm and get off by 3am. By the time I get home, it's about 3:30, and by the time I go to bed, it is 4am. I am up again for my day job by 6:30-7am. On the nights that I work, I normally spend my lunch period the next day, sleeping. One hour of sleep is awesome when you only had about 2 to 3 hours of sleep. I am over worked, but I love having the extra money to do a lot of traveling and shopping for me and my kids. We only live once, might as well make use of all the time doing something productive!

Well that's todays living I guess but I think that lack of sleep and rest can never be good to your health. You may not be able to feel it now, but your body will remind you by the time you reach a certain age.
Anyway it is still your decision if you continue to do that routine job because I don't know what you really wanted to fulfill in life but time for God and family is also important. Money is nothing, it is only for the time being. Yes you are right, we may only live once so we better be careful also of our health.

Hi Mzaloha! I admire you for being so industrious. 
Your children should be very proud to have a mom like you. But don't forget that spending quality time with your kids, is not only about traveling and shopping. They might get used to it. And it might overshadow your role as a mom. And also, I would like to advise you to take vitamins or food supplements so that you can't cope up with your stressful and tiring schedule. If you were to get sick, it will not serve your goal to earn extra money. Medical bills are so expensive nowadays. And even if you feel that you are doing okay. Take a check up from time to time with your physician. So that he or she will give you better advise on how to cope up with your lack of sleep etc. (^^,)

Hi, mzaloha. I can see that you are really working! I wished that I could get out more like this. I know that your bills are low. I would like to work and make money like you do. But I would just rather stay at home and do it. How do you find the time to sleep??
Good for you!
