I'm starting nursing school (yay) next month. However, this means I'm not going to be able to work as many hours as I have been working. I've been working 52-60 hours per week. 40 at one job and then the extras at another. I need ways to suppliment my income (df doesn't make much) while I'm in school. What do you ladies do for extra income?

I started selling some stuff on ebay to make a little extra lately.
He's in school too. He averages $16 an hour 32 hours a week (2 12 hour shifts and 1 8 hour shift) He brings home 400. I work 36-40 hours at my regular job and bring home 1000 to 1400 every 2 weeks depending on my mileage. I guess I really don't need to do any extra work, but the thought of not working the extra 12-18 hours makes me nervous.

Can DF find a job that pays more?
I've been searching the house for some bigger ticket items (we don't have much either). We had a Faberge ice bucket that we got for our wedding from my cousins (they're super rich & it was a great present, but hasn't gotten used in over 7 years). So, I sold that.....and I sold a Waterford crystal picture frame we got from our wedding too. We have some silverware up right now that I hope will sell. After that, I'll likely be turning to some lower priced stuff. I have some toys of DS's that I know DD won't be into that I can put on there (that likely won't get much, but every little bit helps) and some baby items as she outgrows them. I don't know what kind of luck I'll have with that stuff. I'm was an ebay virgin until about a month ago. Selling 2 out of 3 things isn't bad so far :)
We also have a children's consignment store here in town, so I've been consigning all kinds of baby stuff there....and maternity clothes.
