ugh.

nothing major, but i'm just really struggling with my decision to come to colorado.

we're essentially homeless out here.  it was just time to get out of jammi's house on friday, so we packed up our essentials and went to my friend deborah's for the weekend.

we'll be here til tuesday.  she's in a 2 bedroom patio home and it's tight.  she's great with the kids, but it's tight.

wednesday matt will be here for about 9 days and we're going to stay at the hotel with him.  he's trying to get an extended stay, but it may just be a regular room with 2 double beds.

after the 17th, i have no idea what we're going to do.

we're trying to buy a condo that we can rent as an investment property once our house sells back in NJ and we can buy a bigger place here, but the timing is just not coming together and i think we're going to have to rent first.

but we can't do that until the refi back in NJ comes together. not sure yet when that will be.

and on top of all of that, my job here is only on a trial basis and i don't even know yet if i'll have a full time job when next month comes.

matt has been awesome handling everything in NJ - work, packing the house, managing the dog, dealing with the realtor and the refi and everything - but i'm just losing my mind.

i've been the sole custodial parent staying in other people's homes for the past 5+ weeks and i'm just feeling tremendously overwhelmed.  not to mention i had strep throat that knocked me on my ass for 4 days last week.

i guess this got long.  anyway, long story short, any p&pts you could spare to get us stable and unpacked ASAP would be appreciated.

You know you have all my positive thoughts.

What you are doing is so hard but it will be so worth it when it all comes together.

I hope Matt can get the extended stay. That would make things much easier, obviously.

We're here if you need us. You know that.

Agreed, you are juggling a lot! It is particularly hard not having a set scenario to look forward to, since some things are up in the air, but, I know you guys will land in a great place physically (CO) and family wise (altogether in your own digs).  Hang in there !

This is just the dark before the dawn.  You are going to be settled and happy very soon, I know it.  Moving sucks and being in perpetual transition sucks even worse - but this is temporary and you will get through it!  (((hugs)))

Sent up prayers. I hope that magic day when all the pieces fall into place happens very soon. Transitions are so hard. Hang in there and vent all you need.

all of that sounds so hard cry


just as a reminder - co is your home. what you're going through is only temporary, I know you're rocking that job, and you CAN do this.


having said all that .....

i'm praying like crazy that things settle down for you asap. heart.gif

Thinking of you April and praying for everything to start coming together for you and the rest of the U family. I can't imagine how hard its been taking care of both kids on your own for the past month, you are a strong woman and mother. Your kids are extremely lucky to have someone like you raising them. You can do this..... : )
