Is it time to move yet?

Tomorrow can't come soon enough. I'm over cleaning up after 5 adults and a toddler while trying to take care of that toddler and a baby. 

It'd be nice to wake up in the morning and there be no dishes in the sink. 

To make a cup of coffee or set up the pot the day before because no one else is using it. 

Be able to have LOCKS on the doors so my 3 year old can't go outside and bring mud in. Or just run outside without me knowing. 

Our kids can have separate rooms from us so if the baby is asleep then the toddler isn't jumping on the bed and waking him up. 

Not have to use the shower and toilet around toys and a potty seat. 

Not having to climb over things because we're living our of 2 rooms. 2 rooms that already had stuff in it so there isn't much storage. 

Just tomorrow. Tomorrow morning is the closing. And if we get beds or I find our inflatable mattress we can stay there tomorrow night. Even if we don't we just have to wait 1 day and that's it. 

So I've made a list of things we need and need to get done with $3,500. Unfortunately I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that we're not going to be able to change the floors out or replace the tile kitchen countertops with that budget. It kind if bums me out, but it is what it is. 

Instead we'll replace the cabinet doors in the kitchen, move the fridge, build a pantry, fix the areas that flood in the yard, change the locks, buy beds, buy bedding for the 1 bed, fix the crack in the foundation, paint, and fix the lawnmower (which is about $700). 

Plus we need to buy trash cans, cleaning supplies, cabinet pulls, a modem (well I just bought this and it was $15 less thanks to amazon warehouse), I'm sure some tools and other items. 

We do need a kitchen table but I think it'll be a while for that. And a treadmill that we'll most likely get off craigslist. Or a garage sale. 

We do have money in savings for this stuff, I just want to make sure we keep some savings just in case something breaks. And we really don't need a credit card payment due to having just enough in the budget a month for everything. 

Really, we have no play room money wise. 

I know that means me getting a job, I just can't seem to ever get one. And I've basically given up. I told Big E that I'm now being picky with when I work because I want to spend time with the kids and him before I leave. 

I may try to just get a part-time cashier job overnight at walmart or something. Unless they're not hiring for those hours. But this way we won't need childcare. It's the only thing I can think to do if they're hiring. 

But for now I'm just hoping to get a break somewhere. Sometimes I regret Big E getting out of the military since he had asked me if he should or not. I pushed him to. And we gave up living comfortably while being able to stay home with my children. 

Now we'll be struggling. I thought we'd have an easier time finding employment, but that didn't happen. 

But I guess it'll be one day at a time. One day we'll be making more money hopefully.
