Sending out an S.O.S — What’s up with gas prices May 20, 2008

So, I’ve had the tab of this blog open for about three days now…and I hadn’t posted anything. I had no idea how to start, I want to write about my experiences being a Mom for the first time and of my transition into full blown telecommuting position. I am a MOM, I am a TV Producer, I am a writer, and I want to keep it all. I want to spend time with my son. I want to keep on working and grow as a professional, I honestly believe that this is important to my son…it will be at some point! Specially when he realizes he wants/needs/enjoys a somewhat “sane” mother

And then today I saw gas prices go up yet again…now in Miami we are at $3.89 per gallon for the cheapest one…and I decided that I need to find that “dream” job that will allow me to be at home, be home with my baby, and save me some money. You see, I have no idea how and in which world politicians live; I think I am a average person with supposedly a higher than average salary, struggling to make ends meet.  Right now I am spending an average of $300 a month in gas alone, add to that $400 bucks that Chase decided to add to my escrow balance, and $800 that I will have to start paying for daycare and that’s more than half my salary.

Is anyone out there in tune with reality? How come I’m not hearing anyone else outraged by this?  I can’t be the only one….

So, I’m sending out an S.O.S —> Universe: bring gas prices down. Get me my telecommuting job. Let me spend time at home with my son. And, if its not much to ask…throw in a little world peace.
