Still homeless

Because I am still homeless, I am still staying with a friend. Her internet is the same service we used but for some reason is twice as slow. Thus, in the interest of not taking six hours to post this, I will again resort to the beloved bullet pointed list. Where did we leave off?
  • We learned last Monday that the house  we were trying to purchase did not appraise for even close to what we thought. We also learned that the owner is even more stubborn and stupid than we thought and will not come down even a penny on the price, so that purchase will not be happening.
  • I looked at every single house for sale in the tiny town and learned that they are all junk except one we can't afford that is overpriced for what it is and outdated. The only other option was a twin home. The yard is too small, there's just one stall of a garage available and no room to make more parking.  There are only two bedrooms and not enough closet space and of course a shared wall with the neighbor.
  • We made our offer on the twinhome Friday morning and it was accepted just a few hours later. It isn't anywhere near ideal for us but we're hoping that we can make it work. Honestly I do think that I'm sacrificing a lot of what we want in order to be in this home now versus living with my parents for a year and then buying something when Mike gets back from his deployment.
  • Have I mentioned that Michael hasn't seen this house he agreed to pay $73,000 for? Yeah, we were that desperate.
  • We have spent so much time driving back and forth and to and fro lately that I'm sure the last month has cost us hundreds in gas. Last week alone Diva spent over 20 hours in her carseat. The girl is sick to death of that damn seat.
  • Diva is starting to crawl a little. Basically she can plant her face and push forward with her legs. But she's getting stronger and can spend more time on all fours every day. She's been affected way more than I had hoped by living like a hobo and is getting to be a very crabby girl lately. It all just reinforces that fact that children really do thrive on routine.
  • Tiny just got a haircut and looks sooooo much older. I'll have to get pictures of her up soon. I'm really excited about it because Tiny has cried pretty much every time she has brushed her hair for quite awhile now. This is going to be so much easier for us to take care of. Plus the kid never lets me do anything with it anyways so it's not really any loss to me. My mom however is going to FREAK when she sees it. 
  • Passive agressive bullshit makes me crabby. That's all I have to say about that at this time.
  • It is my 2 year wedding anniversary tomorrow and I'm very excited to actually be able to spend it with my husband. Not that we can really do much because we are poor and will be paying for this house very soon but at least I'll be able to spend the evening with him. That's what matters anyways.
  • I am so tired of living like a hobo. I honestly feel like crying every time I walk into our room or try to use the bathroom without making any more mess than absolutely needed. Three people in one small room is just not easy for longer than a night or two.
  • Diva is awake and requiring attention. Hopefully we will have our own home by the end of the month and I can get back to wasting my time blogging instead of cleaning.
