Slow and Easy

Well as Murphy's prevails yet again in my life things are going downhill. My truck started acting up Friday on the way home. I am hopeful it will be just a catalytic converter. It is in the shop now. I also had news of the sitter I wanted to hire when I moved wasn't interested in sitting for my daughter. She is 2 years old and speaks fluent Spanish and English. So i wanted her to keep a spanish sitter. So far it is harder than I thought to find one where I am moving to.

Even though I am not moving until August 1, we have started packing the not so necessities. You may laugh but I don't want to wait until the last minute and find myself stressing over a move. It is hard enough with the 2 girls why add to the drama.

My teen has come around. She is getting more excited now about moving. I hope this is good for her. She has had a rough life so far and I am trying desperatly to make it better. I still dont have a love life, and really don't expect one any time soon. I don't put myself out there in the bars because I don't drink. And let's face it there aren't alot of viable options left to meet men. Hmmm, maybe I will start hanging out at the local parts stores LOL. More to come....

Life in the Fast Lane

Today I have made a decision. I am moving my two girls closer to where I work. I am taking my nest egg and putting it into a new place to live. Gas is killing me and I live an hour from work. This costs me about $125.00 a week. Sooo, I figured my family must move closer in order to survive. Rent is going to be more but I think I can offset that with my savings on gas. Lord only knows where gas will stop rising right.

Hailey (my 16 yr old) is not happy about this. Even though she gains a 4 swimming pools and a dishwasher. She is sullen and mad about leaving her friends. I keep trying to tell her she will make more but you know kids she isn't having any of that. Needless to say I am determined to make this work. I must move to save my family from starving or having no lights because gas went up again. Right now it's at $4.15 for unleaded! They keep saying it is only going to get worse before it gets better. Damn optimists.

Heaven is ok with whatever I want she just wants her toys and videos and all is right with the world. I made a mental note to make sure to label her dvd box when we move to help kep her entertained while mom and Hailey fight over who will unpack what. Things are crazy right now. Heaven may have to have eye surgery, has to now wear glasses, Hailey has a borken tooth and to top it off I found a lump in my left breast. (sigh)

So wish me luck and any comments are appreciated. Thanks.

Wow it is a spot for me!

So today I started a blog. LOL. I never even knew about this kinda stuff. I am a 38 year old mom with little time and not alot of friends. My sixteen year old is never here and my 2 year old is most of my conversation these days. I love my kids and the struggles of single parenting are evident with my ratty sweats, loose shirts. Along the way of this road you will learn alot about me. You out there will become the friend I can't seem to have anywhere else. Welcome and by the way your allowed to talk too. LOL.
