History

It's been a tough few months around here. We have been at our lowest point since July. Homeless. No place of our own to raise our daughter and despite working full time, my husband (DH) hasnt been able to provide for our daughter (DD) and I. My maternity leave for DD ended in June and therefore I found a new job that was less stress then my job from before Maternity leave. Downside, it's only part time, 1 day a week :( I also sell Tupperware, but with everything going on in the past few months my focus has been on keeping DD's routine the same as possible the best I could and therefore I havent been able to put the focus on Tupperware that I need to to build my client base (I'm a newer consultant). DH was earning enough to support us, to pay the rent, etc however his paychecks were garnished illegally for 4 extra paychecks so we had no money to pay the rent, let alone food or anything else. We are currently staying with family but we cant stay here forever as the rental company refuses to add us to the lease.

I must say though, that I have found a new job! I start in less than 2 weeks and I'm excited! It's a work from home opportunity which means I dont feel so bad about my mom watching DD while I work, and for a while, i'm still going to work at my part time job too if I can schedule it right once my training is done, as all of our belongings are in storage.

We have an application in for low rent housing, so I'm hoping that that goes through very quickly and we can be back into our own place by Christmas! But the wait list can be very long, so it could be a few months before we can get a place. We are still applying for other places, but most of them are out of our price range until my new job kicks in.

Well it's time to get DD down for her nap and grab some lunch for myself (she already ate while I was filling out paperwork for new job!) But I will post again tonight!
