But that's beside the point. Why? Well ... that's really a long story that I've been avoiding. And BECAUSE of that...... half my resolutions have gone out the window.... like, blogging everyday ... and ... taking pictures everyday ....... yeah. Sometimes life grabs a hold and throws you a nice softball in your gut.
Which brings us to SWEET CRAP IN A BASKET!!
Yep, I think it's just going to be my new catch phrase.
So, we moved from Wisconsin, where we were struggling, to Washington ... with hopes, that a great job would be right around the corner and struggling would be a thing of the past.
Yeah, not so much. We stayed with my Mom & Step-Dad when we moved here, for about a month ... got a beautiful place with crappy management for $1300 ...... we left at the end of our lease because we just couldn't afford it. We had met some people and thought we were ready-made-friends.
She said something to me that should have sent up red flags, but it didn't, at the time. Now, anyone who says to me "I just don't get along with females" or "I don't have many female friends" I'm just gonna turn around and walk the other way. I've heard that twice in my life, the first person was my ex-best friend who helped break up my marriage (to my first husband) .. and even though I am thankful that I moved on from that relationship, she betrayed me in a lot of ways. I am sure I wasn't completely innocent in the relationship with her, but I was at least honest and loyal to her ... she wasn't with me. The worst thing about it, I do find myself missing the friendship we had ..... I miss her, I miss her kids... I miss the bond we had and the friendship that I thought existed. Now this time... yeah. I think I will miss the friendship I had with the new one, but I just can't go down that road again. Maybe - it all depends. I know that she was in a crappy situation and - I donno. And I'm not going to get into the story in my blog, because ........ it doesn't seem fair on either sides. They have their side, we have ours.
Regardless, things didn't work out and I still love her, and I wish her the best, but ... I think things are to damaged at this point to repair anything. Not that she wants to. But... basically, two weeks ago, just after I gave her almost $800 for rent and bills for the month, we were "kicked out" and then it was taken back because he found out that since we paid rent, we were legally allowed to stay there until the end of the month.
So with that said, we've been staying at my Mom's to save on stress and feeling terrorized ... We've been looking for places and looking and looking ... and ... Dennis has been looking for a job... and looking and looking........ and it just feels .........
So .... we wanted out of there anyway - maybe it's a blessing in disguise .... and after some of the things I found out recently ...... I'm not sure I would want to be friends with them anyway. So I'm just going .... totally ....... with this philosophy ...
A lot of people told us, including ourselves....... it was going to be a mistake to move in there. We were hoping that it would be what we set it up to be...... a way to catch up on some bills, a way to get things done and then be able to set ourselves up to be successful ....
Let's just hope we can pick up the pieces and glue what we can back together.
It is nice to be blogging again. Even though I messed up on not following through with my resolutions, I hope to continue what I set out to do from here on out.
