Begging for money

Mom called since rent is due in 2 days wanting to know if I need money. Oh, yes, are you sittng? Much more than she was expecting me to say. Yes, well, I'm not getting many hours so my paychecks are small. I even read off a credit card bill. Gas, groceries, chiropractor, cable tv, phone, cell, electric, my splurge at my retail store (extra discounts we too hard to resist), gift to friend's new baby, car repair, and finally Rent. It all adds up. I told her I did apply for a job at a bookstore that was full time. Haven't seen Full time work for so long I had to soak in the shock before applying. I would love to work at a bookstore, I'm a bookworm. I know, dangerous place work knowing my splurges on sale items. But I need money and can't afford to live on the allowance my current job can give me.
