Saoutchik, I actually talked to one dealership. I have to be legally employed and receiving a paycheck before they can look at me. The job I have now has shifted more to freelance type work since the main project is done (I built, maintained a website). So, even with that, the income isn't considered steady. I also think I picked up a second freelance job. But again, freelance.
It'll get easier in a few weeks once the girls are out of school. They'll have more freedom to be my ride. I'm feeling better now after posting about it, talking to a good friend, and drinking some red snapdragon sparkling water. Seriously, that stuff is amazing!
