Well,the recession finally hit home with me. I am looking to buy a new house and move out of this apartment, which was only a temporary arrangement bc of the circumstances & me moving in a hurry. The only problem is I am literally scraping together money for a move & that includes selling textbooks and having rummage sales. But what's even more depressing than that is the type of house I can afford is not the type of house I want. When it comes to house shopping, you are paying mostly for the school district bc the same house will vary in cost to the tune of about 400 per month depending on what side of town you're on.
Typing with my index fingers on my IPAD, btw. How do people type like this? It strains your fingers.
Maybe I will get my money scraped togethor and decide to just rent a place. The house I really like is 1,350. The house I'll settle for is 1,100. How much I really want to spend is $900. I just want to live very cheaply so I can put some money aside while the boys are still young and don't care where they live. Then, move into a better place when they are older. I think it matters more to older kids to have a nice house.
So, I may just end up renting, after all.
Besides that, things with Ian have improved...He rides his Winther bike, wears big boy undies, uses some words & phrases. But sometimes I am so worried about his future. I was thinking of how I wanted to send my boys to some prestigious private school but I can't bc they don't have special education services. And I really think I should keep the boys together so they can look out for each other.
My dream is to be able to send them both to a private school for high school. My dream is for Ian to go mainstream with the nuero-typical kids by then. My dream is they both graduate college and give me lots of grandbabies. I will be an excellent grandmother and babysit a lot so that they think parenting is a breeze & just keep having more kids. It's really a trick I'm playing on them so I can have more grandkids.
