Finally Settling In

So we're pretty much out of our house, all except Dante' and Tika. We haven't been able to find anyone to take them temporarily. It's frustrating to have to ask people in a time of need just to have them tell me they can't help. I really don't want to have to take them to the shelter, I don't trust the shelter, and we do want them back.
Dad pokes fun of our room, he doesn't call it a room, he calls it our little POD. Mom wants to put our dry erase/cork board on the door so that she can leave us messages if she needs to.I kind of think they're having a little too much fun, but good for them.
I've been working on the afghan that I'm making for my future niece/nephew now that we're settling in. I'm finally able to relax and work on healing up from my sinus infection. Unfortunately I can't slow down too much because I've gotta not only find a job, but spend some time at the Storage Unit de-junking/re-packing, and finding a place for Dante and Tika. I keep telling myself that things will work out, but it's hard to keep that in mind.
Anyway, this is definately being short, I've been exhausted and I just want to hit the sack. Love you all, and talk to you soon.

Next Place We Get Into....

So for the last week or so, Dave and I have been trying to move our stuff out of our house, and find a place for all the animals. Last weekend we took a break from our situation and helped Dan and Chrystal move their stuff in a POD for Houston (though I felt VERY useless, I really enjoyed seeing them.) Because of the stress that I've had these past few weeks, I got a sinus infection. After fighing it with OTC drugs for about a week and a half, I finally broke down and saw a doctor about it. They didn't really state what I have on the paperwork, but prescribed me Amoxicillin, I've gotta take 875mg. twice a day, the pills are almost the size of a quarter. The sinuses still hurt, but are more clear than they use to be.
For the most part, Dave and I have been the only ones to move things out of our house. Mom and Dad helped a little along with a few other people, but for the most part it's been just Dave and I. I have gotten so tired of moving that I believe that the next time we move, I'll just sell EVERYTHING and purchase stuff later, or we'll just stay wherever we move to. We've gotten a call from the realitor who was assigned by the bank to sell the home. He's really chomping at the bit to get into it, and has also offered Dave and I $2,000 if we clean the house inside AND out. Like Dad and everyone else so far have said, the bank screwed us over, screw them.
Dan, you know this realitor, Greg Johnston. I haven't been the nicest to him, mainly because I feel like there's a bit of insensitivity but I really don't care anymore.
I don't want to be in Mom and Dad's house longer than we HAVE to, so we're going to try out a budget, and if it causes fights, so be it, we need to get some solid ground beneath us financially and I think it will work if we BOTH give it a shot and work together on it. Anyway, that's pretty much all that's happening, still haven't found a place for Dante', Tika, and the 3 cats, but we're working on it. I'm excited to get back into selling the Gold Canyon Candles, there's some pretty cool stuff coming out for the Holiday season, and I also want to work on getting my own website set up through them. It's about $30 quarterly, or $100 a year to have it, but it might be more beneficial to my customers. I will keep you all posted when I can get it set up.
