Lately life has really sucked for us. We are getting by, but not easily...ya know? Anyhow, Josh was laid off 3 weeks last month, worked 2, and now is laid off until May 1st. It sucks. We officially have to move. We are moving into a townhouse that is supposed to be ready sometime in the beginning of May. Anyhow, its sad that I am somewhat looking forward to it because I am so sick of being stressed out about money. Our bills should decrease by at least 400-500 dollars per month, so it should really help out. Things will still be tight, but definitely not into the red each month as they are now. So now its just a waiting game until its ready. The only downfall is that the kids will have to share a room, but they are young and don't know any better yet. I say we have a couple years before they start hating us for making them share a room. Hopefully things will be better by that time! I still feel like Josh may or may not eventually lose his job, because if they are this slow are they really going to ever pick up?? But oh well, we can live off of unemployment at the townhouse where here we cannot. I love living here, having so much space, and the land that we have here, but oh well...you can only live in what you can pay for right? At least the townhouse is still in Taysen's school district so he wont have to change schools or transition anymore than he already has to. The nice thing is that Josh and I lived in these townhouses after we got married. We lived there for 2 years and they are in a nice quiet neighborhood thats still out in the country...so well take what we can get. :) I am planning on really trying to do something neutral in the kids room because I really want to decorate it! I thought about doing black/white/red...there are some duvet covers at Ikea that are pretty cool looking...and a wall decal place that has some cool stuff to spiff it up since we cant paint. (Ya know...all white walls. LOL! UGH!!) Anyhow, I have plans on spiffing stuff up thats for sure. LOL! I sold our sectional on Craigslist finally the other day and we are setting some of the money aside for the townhouse. I have Josh's big screen TV listed, but so far no one wants it! LOL!! Oh well...well sell it eventually. Ive been selling everything that I know we dont need or dont use or wont have room for...so hopefully everything will pan out. Im sure it will...it always does, it just sucks in the meantime.
On other odd news, Ive been having this weird headache thing going on....first I see flashes in the corner of my left eye...it almost looks like a white ceiling fan is on in the room, but when I look over, its just in my eye...no fan. (Obviously I know where the fans are in our house...lol.) It goes on for about 30 minutes or so...the other day it happened to the point that I could barely read the computer screen...it was weird...then after the flashing goes away I get a really bad headache that lasts about an hour. Its really weird and annoying...so I made an appt with the doctor to see if its something I need to get checked out. Last thing I need is a brain tumor or something...half joking here...but my luck lately does tend to run south! Anyways, my appointment is next week on Tuesday afternoon. Im guessing it will just be talking and then maybe setting up something with a neurologist? Who knows...well see I guess...
Sooo thats it for us right now...I hope all of your lives are not quite as hectic as mine!!

I know all about moving in to somewhere more affordable. It definitely makes life easier. The girls are going to be sharing a room too and I've had lots of people say that their kids got closer after they shared a room. Hopefully we both experience that! The economy crisis sucks. I'm sorry you guys are getting hit so bad. Did you buy where you are now or are you renting? If you bought I hope it sells for you soon!
The headaches you're describing sound like migraines. The flashing and everything, definitely sounds related. And I could be wrong but I think migraines are hereditary too, and since Dad gets them that would make us prone to them too. I get them at times (usually before my periods) but don't get auras (sp?) like you seem to be having. Hope thats all it is.
I figure I'm probably the last person you want to talk about moving to, but if you wanna, give me a call or text me.
