MOVING: A difficult but necessary decision.

I just couldn't make it where I was.  I got the final eviction notice and had to go.  I thought long and hard about where to go.  Pensacola, FL was a choice.  My friend had just moved there and who doesn't want to live on white sand beaches and warm water.  Too far.  Houston, TX.  Started looking at houses to even buy there (so cheap!), but even a first time homebuyer loan would not fly with my bad credit.  Roseville, CA, cheap, beautiful, good schools, but HOT!  I thought if I'm going to live in heat why not check out Vegas?  I had a good friend there, she seems to like it, my step mom had just moved there and she was making things happen for herself there.  So I got on Craigslist and was shocked at just how cheap it was!  I was looking in Henderson which has good schools, very nice places for incredibly cheap prices!  So away we went.  Not much help in the way of moving, a few nice souls, but no calvary!  So as tough as it was, I endured it with every muscle aching, and the end result never leaving my mind!

We are now residing in an apartment complex with a waterfall pool, gym, sauna, Jacuzzi, and even a playground right outside our door.  A nice, clean, three bedroom two bath upstairs apartment with vaulted ceilings and central air!  992.00 a month includes water!

Business is painfully slow (as it usually is this time of year), so I have been looking and applying for part time work that gets me to my daughter at 2.  I found one that would be most ideal.  I have applied and am waiting to hear.  It has the potential of paying over 6,000.00 a month cash for 20 hours a week.  I know!  So, fingers crossed that i'm not too old for the job, I've sent in pics.  Hoping to hear soon!  My phone is shut off as well as my etsy (where I run my jewelry business), so it will have to be by email and hopefully my internet won't get shut off!

Funny, I reduced my expenses by almost a thousand a month, and I STILL can't make it!  But I will.  I just have to keep on trying, striving, thinking, praying, staying positive and living!

I hope you fellow single mothers out there are thriving!  Please comment and let me know how you are doing and how you are doing it!

Sometimes change is hope,
