Things have been so crazy the past few weeks. I have been trying to hold on and smile and believe it will all work out but I am getting so impatient.
The house we were renting was foreclosed on and in order to afford to move we had to participate in a program called "Cash for Keys" which paid us to move in a matter of 2 weeks. Well the one problem with this is we still have not found a house to call our own. I am staying with my cousin, and my mom and step-dad are staying in a motel. Both of these arrangements can only be temporary. I am really starting to feel quite hopeless in all of it. I had my hours cut to weekends-only at the end of this past summer; this was working before with school and the fact that I didn't have to pay rent at the old house, just pitch in for groceries and stuff. Well now it is a whole other story. I have to use my income with that of my step-dad's to try and qualifiy for a place. We don't make all that much money together with my current lack of income so this makes things even more difficult. I was holding off on a second or whole new job because of school, but the current situation has me contemplating quitting school for a little bit to get my life back in order. I can not allow my daughter to have no home to call hers. This morning we woke up and she told me she wanted to go home, and I almost broke down. We have no home.
I am so beyond frustrated with this, I am sorry to be so negative and vent so harshly. Please keep your fingers crossed we find something soon.
