Another Transcription Account Bites The Dust

I have been working at home as a medical transcriptionist, but has been slow since Thanksgiving and today I was told that the transcription service that I work for has lost the account I typed on. This happens so much in the transcription field. It is so frustrating. You get familiar with an account and then its gone. The company did not even have a back up account for me so I am screwed.

My husband is really not going to be happy with this. He already thinks I am a loser when it comes to making money.

I did get a job offer for a data entry government job at $13 an hour which is great, but the downsides are:
*I will have to be on the road a total of at least 2 hours a day (100 miles) to get to work and back home.
*It is only a temporary job lasting until September.
*My kids will have to get up at 4:30 or 5 am every morning so that I can get them to someone who can get them to school. Is it worth upsetting my kids so that I can make that little amount of money?

Not sure what to do about this situation, but I need to be bringing money home.
