Good evening

Eureka! I have a much better plan! (I have been racking my brain and scheming over this for days.)

So this is a bit much to take on. But I can do this and I am going to make it work. My cousin Kristin is the only person I know financially responsible enough to share a place with. She pays 850 a month where she is at now and stays in a basement, so 600 a month would be great for her and she is all for it. I want to stay here let my mom go (AND PLEASE TAKE ALL THIS CRAP WITH YOU) Give my cousin Kristin my mom's bedroom. The bedroom I am currently sharing with my son AND brother will turn into just Evan's room. And the place where I am sitting as we speak will be turned into my room. Keep the living room where it is at, smaller TV, smaller couch (that Kristin has). Take out all the stuff I have been gathering for when that day actually came that I got my own place. Have all his toys in his room it will be SO MUCH CLEANER!!!

Here are the only downfalls to the situation. Kristin owns a very large dog. By large I mean St. Bernard... but if I can get the landlord on board with that then I have someone who will stay here and help out a great deal with rent. I get food stamps every month that have been going towards feeding my mother her husband myself and Evan for the past two years, now that I will only be feeding myself and my son I will never go hungry (more importantly neither will he). So no issues there. Here's where it gets a little tricky. After paying 500 bucks a month I don't have ample money left over for other bills. I need Internet phone and cable, then the heat and everything else. It is going to be a struggle. Kristin will split whatever those bills are I am sure. But I want to try and get some sort of babysitting position like I had before, where I could get paid to watch someones kid on like wed thurs or mornings during the week (except Tues) that would just be cash for bills. Like I said STRUGGLE. But I really feel like I can do it. And this will be our home. And talk about spittin in Clams eye (figuratively).

I am hopeful. And just as I had assumed- my mother came home the morning after seeing him looking at apartments online. So I know this is coming just not so sure when... I hope sis likes dogs!

A place that I could legit call my own. And I love my cousin Kristin, she can be way too honest at times but I can live with that and a big drooly dog. It could even be fun! I just hope I can make it, financially speaking. Now just gotta play my cards right I guess.. we will see what happens~
