We moved into a new house. It is smaller, it is a challenge to get all my stuff into here. But it is a lot cheaper. Unfortunately, it would appear that increasing electric and gas bills will take up the savings... but whatever... LOL
I will add to the insurance thing. They aren't giving anyone who makes over a certain amount, even if they are poor, insurance in Michigan. It is their way of saving money.
I am waiting for my nursing acceptance letter to come in the mail. Part of the reason that I can't get a job outside of the house now, is that I would never see the kids, and daycare costs would be more than what I can bring in. $125.00/week/child adds up pretty quickly. Shawn works 70+ hours these days, so I can't count on him to be home. I would have to have a job that (during the summer) makes more than $500 a week, just to break even at this point. That doesn't even include gas. Between school, and working that would be 80 hours away from the house, for almost no money anyway.
Just hope I get into the program. I am holding my breath waiting.
