Third times a charm? in A new start

Well, no not really. I guess it was a third of a sort. The third cancelled showing. We had a showing last night also. Kind of discouraging really. Only two successful showings in three months. Both showings ended with the prospective buyers saying nope. Last time it was the house smelled of animals. We got that taken care of. This time it was the master was too small. Well, I can’t change that. Hopefully we get another showing soon. This week would be great. My mom will be gone two of the days so we can take all the dogs to my mom’s house and chill. But when it’s right it’s right.

I kind of want this process to go fast. Like really fast. I want to sell this house so we can move. Once we move I want to make sure my friend’s house can be financed and then get it bought. They can stay once we buy it a couple months but not much longer. I want my area. I don’t want people on top of me. Aka… they can stop working on the house. I don’t really want it the way she does. Anyway. It’ll happen how it needs to.

The biggest reason I want to get to the purchasing a home part is my husband wants a new job. Needs a new job. But we were preapproved for what he makes where he is. The changing of a job would effect that one way or the other. I don’t want it screwed up. Ideally he would get a better paying job but you never know. Gotta get him his ged before he can really get a new job.

The other days I was talking to my friend and we were discussing animals. I am trying to be a hobby breeder of dachshunds yet my female has not became pregnant yet. (Well, she might be right now but I’m thinking no). My friend was like “really if your going to try to be a breeder you should get rid of the non-producing dogs that you have so you can focus your everything on the ones that do produce” or something to that effect. That kind of irritated me. I am not selling my dogs, any of them (unless I get puppies). Three are fixed. Half of my dogs were born in my house. I’m not doing it. I mean I guess I understand the reasoning. Have more resources for the breeders. But I don’t even have any active breeders so they would all be gone, minus the puppy. She also says I should keep my breeders outside away from my pets. They are not pets, they are money makers. It’s just a hobby. I will not alienate my pets. Just a difference of opinion, I guess.

I think I am scared to move a little. It’ll be a new town. New house. I’ll be away from my mom. Kinda one of the plusses but also a negative. My mom says that if and when we move she might move also. Which a two bedroom on a quarter acre would be good for her. She doesn’t need a 3 bedroom. But that is the house my kids have spent most of their lives. I think my youngest would be traumatized. But I guess that means I have to work harder to make home better for her.

Finally child support is becoming more regular. Every week for the one, every other for the other. The one that is supposed to have insurance on the one kid actually has insurance now. I don’t completely know that she is covered. I got a letter saying he has insurance but elected no coverage (I think is what it says) so I dunno. Kinda read like she is covered even though he elected not to cover her. So I dunno.

Another great thing about her dad… he’s been cheating on his wife. They are separating. I guess a trial separation. However neither one is moving out. She has no job, yet, and doesn’t even drive. She still cares for his other kids. I told her honestly if it were me I would go somewhere and make him figure out what to do with his other two kids. Yes, they are her responsibility to a point, but they aren’t totally her responsibility. I doubt he’s ever home so yeah. Fun times and drama.

I guess I shall go. Hopefully we can get this house sold. At this rate we wont be buying anything until after my husband gets his yearly raise. You know the 3% raise. Yeah not much but something. Hopefully he can hold on to this job for a few more months. Just a little bit longer.
