ps: About the red'head attitude; our daughter is a Ginger...actually looks like a younger version of the O/P.. there's a pic of my lil lady in the Summer thread. Her GET UP AND GO is incredible. She's stubborn when need be. She's a fire cracker. She's dualing HS and Career Center, taking ROTC, Auto Mechanics, and Precision Machining. Ain't no man gonna tell my lil'lady what / what NOT to do, LoL! (Including me, I suppose...why try though...she's got this!)
I dunno your situation fully but kids need their mother around (unless they're older). You could get the CDL and apply for local driving jobs. I know Coke or Pepsi hire, Ice cream deliverers, Lay's Potato Chips. Fed Ex or UPS. City bus driving possibly too or school bus will train for a Class B.
We split. He actually got off the road. At the time, my kids weren't happy in their living situation so I decided to come home and be there for them. Seeing them here and there wasn't enough.
My kids are grown now except for my son and he's almost 15 and lives with his dad so my kids are fine. It's my bf's kids I'm talking about.
As is my wife... and she's still a mirror image of the daughter. Wife uses that "auburn" wash to match the Jamie.... it's still in there, methinks, LoL! ps: If you sport it, you own it!
Do you like teaming? Decker is a "division" of Pam, an old friend of mine works for, dedicated out of Willard, Ohio. Hauls MTD mowers and parts. Personally, don't know much about PAM.... you're probably talking to "driver solutions" though, correct?
