4 1/2 days -Got the Apartment!!

May 17th, 2005 at 03:47 am

Ok, I have to start out with the best news! We qualified for the apartment!!! Woo Hoo!!! We almost didn't qualify because I had foolishly sent in a letter written by a previous landlord of mine which had slightly different dates than I had written on the application (bad memory sometimes - go figure.) Dad is going to go pick up the keys tomorrow and start moving his things in, and maybe some of my things too. Smile Smile Smile I'm so happy and here's the reason why ...I've got a place to live! Smile

Well, on to not such exciting things. I told my kids this morning about my not coming back next year. It started out horribly because my boys were just COMPLETELY misbehaving and I was having to discipline and fuss at them A LOT. Once I finally got them settled down enough to listen, there wasn't much of a reaction. A few of them had questions, but none of them seemed overly sad about it, or overjoyed either. Later during the day one of my girls made me a really sweet good by card. I think maybe more than a few of them already knew about it. Well, at least it's out in the open now.

Vicki was there today. I talked to her for a short while, but I don't know if she believed me. I think she still just feels so hurt that there's really nothing I can say. It just makes me feel so horrible that she feels like this. I wish there was something I could do to help her, but I'm not sure that she'd welcome much of anything from me right now. This whole thing just kills me.

The kids are mostly ready for Young Author's night tomorrow night. Tomorrow we're mostly going to be practicing for it. I have no idea how it's going to go. Some of the stories are really different. Three of my boys are going to be reading stories that were mostly written by just one of them -- the SuperBaby series (5 books in it so far!). I tried to get the other two boys to do something of their own, but they just were insistent on doing it this way. Quite honestly, I don't have the energy to dissuade them, so I let them. I honestly wanted to cancel the whole shebang, but the kids have been looking forward to it ever since we had the one in December.

My Ebay stuff is doing okay. Last time I checked (an hour or so ago) I had 6 items out of 20 selling, with 7 bids. I hope that all the buyers send their payments quickly so I can get those books mailed out before my move.

Daily Goals:
1. Exercise: 15 minute walk video (had to go into classroom early, got up late)
2. Water: ~2 liters
3. Food: none after 7:30
4. Soda: had one pepsi vanailia

Spending Log:
Kroger's: $8.80 (oj - on sale 2/$4, got two!, bananas, etc)

Keeping It Frugal in Texas,
Laura
