Extra Money

I have to admit, I am one of those persons who will do almost anything legal for extra money.
Last night at 10:30 I get a phone call. Can you come into work because we had a sick call? Sure, let me change and I will be right there.

So I agreed to go in, not realizing at the time it meant I would be up over 24 hours straight by the end of my shift. I gave myself what my daughter calls a birdbath, threw on some clean clothes, grabbed some food and water bottles and left.

I went to work and everything was fine. It was an unusually quiet night. Drama free I might add.

When I got home I was so exhausted it was insane. I slept until my daughters school called me. She refused to take the bus home. Then when I got back I slept until almost 8PM.

It just leaves me wondering... why do we do these things to ourselves for an extra 80 bucks.

So I am wondering... what have you done for an extra hundred bucks and regretted later.

I don't regret the night, it was all good. I just regret letting myself go in without sleep and running myself down.
