My life

So,I have been irritated with my house for a while now. It is smaller than I would have dreamed...but cute none the less. Husband and I had a ...as my Mom would say..."a come to Jesus meeting". Meaning we discussed what we were going to do and what we thought would be the best plan for us. We've lived her for 6 years...it was supposed to be our "starter home". But it ends up, in this economy that it might be our "for now" home. I've cried a lot about how unhappy I am in this house and how we could possibly have another baby here, and how we could afford two babies on 1 income. I'm sure a lot of you have had this talk lately (I hope it's not just me).

We have decided that maybe this house isn't so bad. After looking around our neighborhood and seeing the foreclosures and HUD homes and realizing that we can afford this house and have $$ to save, why not stay for a while. It's not my "forever" home but it will do...for now. Just pumping money into a home that I don't love breaks my heart sometimes. But if that means that I can not live paycheck to paycheck and take my daughter on vacation, then maybe I need to swallow my pride and be happy in my house...it is MY house and I have put a lot of time and energy in this house.

Okay...I'm done, please let me know how you feel about these tough economic times. It would make me feel a lot better if it's not just me:) Next up... we might get a new minivan...say it isn't so!!!!!
