Sick and House

Well with a little bit of negotiating we got the house!!!!!!! We get the keys next Wednesday and are going to be strapped for cash, but we'll at least be home owners. R and I both agreed that we would rather go without extra things and own a house then have to rent again and have extra money. It may sound crazy but I am so sick of renting and not having anything to show for all that rent money. I'm working with my financial friend J to get 10K out of my retirement to use for a down payment.

I've been sick pretty much this whole week with a bad head cold and have been feeling pretty bad. Little Man went up to R's parents house yesterday and is coming home tomorrow so I could get better and get some school work done. I did a lot of reading today for class and have discussion questions to finish for tomorrow. I also have to read the book Harry Potter and watch the movie for my children's lit class.

It's actually bad to say this but I've truly enjoyed the time that Little Man was gone. I don't get full breaks very often. Even when my mom or husband is doing something with him or take him somewhere I can't seem to fully relax because I can still hear him or I know when they will be home. I try to cram too much into the little amount of time that I have off. This was the first time where I actually wasn't thinking about when he was coming home. He was so excited to go with them so I don't feel bad about sending him up there. I think he needs a break from us once and awhile too!

R starts his new job next Tuesday and then that way we will get benefits December 1st! I'm going to keep my eyes open for a job just because two incomes would help with having the house but we'll see if anything comes along. I really hope that R likes his new job, it's a different avenue from what he was doing down in FL. I think he'll enjoy the work more and hopefully like his new job duties.

I hope that my cold gets better soon! I'll keep you posted on the new job and house!!!!
