Ok... shewww..
Now that i got all of that out and had a good cry.. i feel better now.. it really does help to have somwhere to get it out! Thank you for listening.
Now .. on to something positive!
For about 5 month now we have been working on helping my mom buy a house. She is 64, worked her whole life 40+ years as a nurses aid helping others and was very good at patient care.. she loved to put a smile on elderly peoples faces.. she would wear silly hats and sing in their rooms and dance with them in the hall ways. She was truly an angel for them...
She has been disabled with fibromyalgia and cronic pain for about 10 or so years now. It's been really hard on her not being independent and self sufficient. She raised me as a single mom so we never had any money growing up. At 64 she has never owned a house.
We found the cutest 875 sq ft kinda tiny house so to speak. In the country sitting on about an acre. It has an additional building that she can make a second hand store which she has always wanted to do.
On Monday we finally closed on her dream come true.. the price was amazing and fit into her fixed income budget. All we had to do was give her all the money need for the down payment and inspections and things... it is definitely a blessing from God because it all worked out so perfectly!
My H has pretty much always been good to my mom so he didn't put up a fuss when i asked if we could provide what she needed to get the house.
Which is one of the reasons i love him so.
Were over the moon exited for her. Its a place for her to rest and call her own. She calls it her forever place. Makes me happy!
We also had a hard conversation/ argument with our son about having to move out of our home and handle his own life.
Him, his girlfriend and our grandson have been living in our home rent free for 3 years. Its a long story but you will have to take my word for it they are not living up to their full potential and are beginning to take advantage of our kindness.. so as hard as it is .. its time for them to go..
We gave them a year to move. I feel we are being very generous in giving them that much time.. we have spent money fixing their vehicle and helping to raise our grandson and keeping them in clothes and things and they still dont understand and give us push back when we get upset with them for spending money on things like alcohol and eating out.. just being wasteful and not saving!
I really struggle with this he is our only child and he is very stubborn. I worry we will lose him because he has completely ignored us for months before.... but i guess we will cross that bridge when we get to it ..
But all in all its a positive thing.. they need to figure life out and stand on their own two feet...
Thats all i got for now..
Hugs everone!!
