Making Your Own Money

Today was so not such a good day for Julie, it started off well, but when they took Chris to the hospital her heart broke as the doctor was unsure what is keeping him sick and then they had to take him for an allergy test. As she saw her baby's face as he cried her heart melted like ice. She wished she could be the one lying there instead of him, but she also knew that it was the best thing to do to find out if Chris has any allergies and to get down to the bottom of his illness. She awaits patiently for the test results which the doctor said that she'd be contacted within 48 hours. Seen as the Singular was not working for Chris the doctor put him on Celestamine. Hopefully this time it will worlk.

Julie thought about the R200 she had given to her Leo so she could get photography equipment. A friend had asked her if she wanted to go to the movies with her and her daughter. She said yes, but the day before the movies had to turn her friend down due to the fact that Leo didn't want to give money for them to go out. Julie was very hurt by his coment: 'If you make money I won't complain if you want to go out.' 'Julie looked to the floor holding back the tears and wondering how can he say it. He did it again. He didn't have to go into the whole thing about working again. He could have just told no.' She hates this every now and again remarks about work. It pains her that she can't give her son's what they want. Or she can't take them places. Her heart cried even though there were no tears. If only her photography would pick up. If only she could make some money, If only..........

Julie sat down by her computer and opened her diary and began to write how she felt. How useless she feels and how she gets this weird feeling in her heart every time she has to ask Leo for money. She thinks is their marriage based on money? Are they only happy when they have money? Why does she have to feel like this. All her life she had felt like she had nothing and she didn't. Most of her stuff was hand me downs. When she did get some things it was stolen and sold for alcohol. Nothing lasted in there house. Julie thinks should she get a job, what about Chris? If she gets a job it will just cover for someone to look after Chris at home, because he just cannot go to creche with his weak immune system. Well maybe she thought her photography will pick up? If only.
