Well, I guess it's safe to say that I have slightly abandoned my blogging duties lately. Boy have I been busy...and distracted!! I have been pretty open about the fact that the last 12-14 months have not exactly been stellar! I have lost my grandmother, lost my little brother, gotten separated and divorced, dealt with a crappy car, and so on. Well, it seems as if every hurdle I start to jump, another is there waiting for me.
As I wrote here, I have put my house up for sale. I have to admit, that I was hoping this would be just what I needed to help me start to get over the divorce and so on. There are too many memories and such everywhere I turn. The week that it has been on the market, it has been showing like crazy!! We have constantly been out of the house while they are showing the house! I'm not complaining at all, I want to get it sold!! Well, we had two bids on the house finally. We accepted one of them and had papers signed and everything. I also went and found a new place to live. It's an apartment that is newer and in a good part of town. The apartments are well taken care of and they are really hard to get into. The only thing is, the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom apartments (which is the ONLY one they had left for me to take) is only slightly smaller than my house now and the cost is the same as my house payment. So, so much for downsizing and saving money!! haha!! But I was willing to make the financial sacrifice so that Truett could have the best surroundings possible. I went and put in my application for the apartment and paid my deposit. They said that they could move me in this coming Monday. So I was faced with having to pay bills on the house until closing AND the apartment. It will be a struggle, but with help from my wonderful family, I was hoping to be able to swing it. Low and behold, the person that we had a contract with to buy the house, pulled out. So, now I have an apartment to move into and the house is back on the market! I have a lot of showings lined up for this weekend, but this is not the extra stress I was needing!! Hopefully we will get it sold...again. I'm going to start moving into my apartment Monday. Since it's just me, I guess I will just move us in a little at a time. I have no idea what I am going to do having two places to take care of!!
I feel like I can't catch a break sometimes!! They say these times help you "build character", well this last year has helped me build enough character to last me until I'm 90!! haha!! I guess this weekend will be me deciding what to sell, donate, and move. Along with starting to pack boxes and so on. We shall see what this weekend brings with my house!!
