Be Positive!

Sorry for my lack of posting.  With trying to pack quickly and find a rental home to move to, there isn't a whole lot of time to get to my blog.  I would much rather be on here than doing that other stuff, but I am trying to be positive!  Be positive on the fact that we will find a great house to rent and that we will be able to move in before the bank kicks us out of our home.  Be positive that this move will not be too hard on my 3 girls.  Be positive that this move will not be too hard on me and my hubby.  It's really hard to be positive when I just want to crawl into bed and be depressed.  We went to look at rentals last night.  We saw 2 of them.  These are the first ones we have looked at.  When we got to the first one, my gut instinct was, NO, and we hadn't even gone inside yet.  I asked my hubby and his was NO also.  Once my friend (the realtor) got there and we went in, I was just ready to cry.  We are being forced out of our wonderful, beautiful, big home and I might have to settle for this little one?  OMG, I wanted to stay positive, but this house, there was just no way.  After we left, I don't know that I said a word until we got to the second house.  This one was still smaller than the one we live in (but not by much), and at least it had a much better floor plan than the first one.  It would fit most of our furniture and it is a 4 bedroom so we would have an office.  Much better.  THe drawback is that it adds about 12 more miles to my drive to work.  Oh well, at least the house itself is something I can live with.

Today we will be looking at a couple of more houses.  We were trying to stay away from a 2 story but to stay within our price range, we may not be able to do that.  We will have to be really careful with the girls in a 2 story, and carting the laundry up and down will be so much fun, but maybe it will allow us to be in a bigger home which will be nice.  See, trying to stay positive!

And, on a side note, we had a (according to the weather guy this morning) huge weather event last night!  That actually cracked me up when he said it like that.  A huge weather event!  It was the first storm of our monsoon season and it was a pretty good one.  Anyway, it rained really bad and this morning when I was leaving we found that 2 of our bushes in the front of the house had been knocked over from the wind and rain.  I laughed when I saw that and it lifted my spirit.  That is something we are not going to fix before we leave!
