So...

So once again I've been lazy on the blogging. I'm tired of apologizing for my absence, especially since I know I'll just end up doing it again later. It's just that I haven't been up for posting lately. And in the moments I want to post I'm not able to, mostly due to Lucero who loves climbing all over me like a monkey. It makes it difficult to type. And when she naps I can't blog, because the computer is in our room, so the clackity-clack of the keys would wake her up and there's no way I'm going to sacrifice some me time in order to keep this blog updated. Sorry, no.

Plus, I've been down lately and I don't feel like being all complain-y to my readers. I feel like yall are thinking, "Geez, get over it already. Be happy." Sorry, folks, that's just me for now and it has everything to do with what's going on currently. I might as well tell you what's up, 'cause I hate to talk in code about this BS. Plus, maybe some of yall might be able to cheer me or something.

X got laid off from his job. Yes, after a few short months of employment, he was let go. He didn't even see it coming, but things have been slowing down for his company and so they axed the newest member, which was him. Actually, they axed a couple of others too, but it's X I'm the most concerned with. So now we're back to square one, or more like square zero, because before when he wasn't working, we at least knew he had a job, it was just a matter of him starting it. This time he has no job waiting for him. Instead he has to search for one, which is always fun. Does anyone really enjoy looking for a job? I mean, even if you have a job, but are scoping out other opportunities, are you enjoying the search?

And there's the whole issue with the house we were looking into. When we first heard about it, we heard the current owners may want to rent it, maybe do a rent to own, or maybe even sell it, but through an owner finance deal. I'm not grown up enough to understand all this house buying lingo. (Ok, I know what rent to own means, but that's about it.) The price we understood they were willing to sell it for was really good too. So good that we weren't even going to haggle with them to try to lower it. They had done tons of home renovations, which made it very appealing and for the price. The guy even said they would be finishing up some final projects and would be outta there in three weeks to a month. That was a month ago. We have since talked to the head of the household, the woman, and she told us a different story. She wants to sell it completely off and be done with it, as in no owner financing, which is what X wanted. She's getting an appraiser to determine the value, which will likely drive up the sale price, which means our good deal is gone. Plus, she's now estimating another month and a half to two months before all renovations are complete. And now with the whole X/job uncertainty, I have no idea how this home is going to happen for us.

Ugh, I was beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel, but now it's all gone to black once again.

I have faith that these things happen for a reason. We need a miracle, not a parting-of-the-sea miracle, but just a small one that would provide X with an awesome job and us with an awesome home.
