It's A Crazy Life but It's Our Life

Yeah Yeah...I stole the saying. Get over it.

If you've been following, you know that I sold my car and may be in search for a new home sooner rather than later. We searched for a new car, called numerous dealers and have yet to find the best deal. I know your thinking (it's not that hard to go and get a new car) but in fact it is in our situation. Bryan and I love to hold onto every dollar that we make. We had our two cars for years without any payments. We think about the future and what is best for us. A car payment and four to five thousand down is not the choice I want to make. On top of that FL insurance, which is higher than anywhere else I've ever been. Yeah, we make enough to cover those costs but I'd rather save for the future. In due time, better things may come. Leaving us to have only one vehicle at the moment. Which I thought would be a lot easier than it has been. Bryan cannot leave his meetings/appointments to pick the girls up after school. He cannot lose his job, obviously. So we requested to get them on the bus which was chaotic. For weeks we did not hear back from the woman that was in charge. She failed to get back to us. When Bryan called to get an update she was sarcastic and blew it off like it wasn't a big concern. Where I'm from we get things done in a timely manner. Apparently not here in the sunshine state. It's a fucking hassle to get kids' insurance, a car registered, a bus schedule, the school lottery system is bogus therefore I placed them in a Charter School which is now getting on my last nerve. I had to take it to the next level, leaving the lady in charge of the buses a frustrating email from myself as well as one to the principle. It worked. She called this morning telling me she was sorry and they scheduled a bus for them. Now why couldn't that be done in the first place. Oh, because the bitch is lazy and don't know how to get anything done. Needless to say, she is no longer in charge of the buses. Very well. I hope they fire her ass. 

I don't like having to get mean but when you can't do your job it pisses me off. I volunteer my time to the teachers(which is required because it's a Charter) but I go above and beyond. I buy expensive supplies, bring in extra snacks because I don't want anyone going without, go out of my way to sell fundraisers for other classes and much more. It's unrecognized by the staff and I'm at my wits end. I want to homeschool again and that's messed up because I've tried so hard to leave them be and gain the friends they have. 

Moving around used to be fine with me. I enjoyed new places, new faces. Exploring the many different cities and states was great because then I could say "been there, done that." But now that both the girls are in school, I just want to relax and stay put. It's too difficult to up and move all the time. The last move was due to Chinese Drywall. They want to kill us. It was the worst housing situation I've ever experienced. How could such beautiful houses be harming to your health. Furthermore, how could such human beings know about it and fail to tell you about it for eight months. Cowards. They didn't have the balls to tell us because they wanted all of our money. I wanted to kill this bitch. No lie. We were so sick from it. Leading us to our current location.

A fully furnished, immaculate condo. The only problem is that it's a seasonal and we can't live month to month having to look for new locations to relocate on such short notice. Bringing us to today. We have been advised that we need to be out by Dec. 15th. Some notice huh. Who the hell wants to look for a new place before Christmas. Not me. I'm so very peeved. I've searched and there are limited options for us. It's crazy. For one, if I get an unfurnished we have to furniture shop. I'd rather not since we aren't buying a home any time soon. I certainly ain't buying a home in Florida. Where I plan on buying one is beyond me. Fully furnished places are about $2500/month due to in-season. The cheaper ones are in parts of town that I refuse to live in. All because this landlord wants to make a quick $2500/week for the unit we are in now. He'd rather have $2500 for one week than have a long term resident which would make him more money in the long run due to it sitting empty most the year. It's probably in foreclosure as well. Ughh. Can I catch a moment. 

We're all home sick today. I had the worst sore throat ever. My kids have been so sick since starting school. Well it's Hannah's teachers fault. Hannah gets sick more than anyone. Why. Probably because her teachers room is a disaster. It's so messy, dirty and I just want to throw everything away when I go in there. The garbage is always overflowing. I asked if someone comes in to change it. She said not til everyone leaves. Well then you need bigger trash cans that can hold all the shit you throw away throughout the day. The desks are always yuck. Kids are nasty. I'm sorry but one teacher up against 23-25 kids is unacceptable. Their picking their nose, wiping it on their clothes or eating it, touching my daughters hair, rubbing their eyes, stinking their fingers in their mouths and God only knows if they wash their hands after going potty. I constantly tell Hannah the rules but she's little and gets pre-occupied so whether she listens, I don't know. I hope so. As soon as they enter the house they have to throw their uniforms in the wash, get in the bathroom to either wash up or get a bath and they hate me because of it. I'm sorry but those germs aint attacking my house. I want so bad to take the easy way out and homeschool but I can't do that to Mack. I homeschooled for a while before Hannah went to Kindergarten and Kenzie didn't have any friends. She needs friends and she needs to be doing activities at school. So I have to deal with the things going on right now and just hope for it all to fall into place. We'll see. I'll keep you posted. :)
