1st Day of Training

Well, I finished all of my 48 hours of Continuing Education (CE) classes that were in arrears and have to complete my current CE classes, 24 hours by the end of July. I went to my first day of training with AFLAC and I must say it went well. I have been skeptical in the past and still am, but I think I can make this work and do well at it. The only problem is you only get paid a commission on what you sell and paid nothing if you don't sell. Not usually a problem, but with Doug starting his franchise with Play n Trade it will be a FEW months before he starts seeing positive income so therefore there is no money coming in and with two kids and a mortgage and bills for a 2 family stable income home that will be VERY difficult. What a life change and a HUGE wake up call. I have decided to take Sarah out of private school but our charter school is full for this year and they think they will be as well next year and I do not like the elementary school we are zoned for..... I will know April 1 if she will get in for next year.
Doug is working very hard to get this franchise through the paperwork process and get moving to an actual opening date. He says that he is planing on an April 1 grand opening, I say more like May 1 or even June!!! We shall see.
I have a lot of scripts to memorize and homework due by tomorrow so I will keep you posted as to how this goes and what we end up doing!
Talk to you soon!

Krista, I admire how you can hang in there with a positive attitude. Looks like things will work out for the family because everyone is in there pitching in.

Are you scheduled for an unemployment check yet?

I did receive my first unemployment check in the amount of 275.00 minus taxes last Friday and am scheduled to call in again on March 11th. I am asuming that I am calling in "weeks" every other week so my next check should be 2X the amount??? I hope to never have to do this again, but I am glad this is an option!
