So, 2009 blew and i was HOPING 2010 would be better.... only NO!
If you haven't seen on twitter, apparantly, i have to move AGAIN ... oh fucking Joy!
It's like this: my dad says the owner of this house has decided he wants to sell it... just like the last house we were renting, the owner wanted to sell it too! And apparantly, to make things worse my dad's banker has decided he'll finance building that house we started back 'home' if they can pay off my mom's truck. They've got like... 6 months owed, but they want to pay 2 payments a month so its only 3... so we have at least that long here, still.
And yeah, i'm being selfish because 'oh joy' it'll be cheaper and i guess when you're poor cheap matters... but i'm going to be selfish and explain all the reasons this sucks.
BIGGEST REASON i'll be back out in the country... i DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK! I LIKE living here in town! Everything is 5 minutes away here. College is 5 minutes away. THE KIDS SCHOOL, which is the county school for the people out that side of the county is CLOSER TO THIS HOUSE THAN OUR HOUSE OUT IN THE COUNTY!!!
EVERYTHING is more convenient here. Back out there I can kiss my walking days goodbye, i can kiss 'oh let me run get this' anytime goodbye...i'll have to get up earlier to go to school, i'll have to find a way to stay in town all day long because its ridiculous to drive 30 minutes home only to have to leaven an hour later and come all the way back. No more delivery pizza (GOD i'll miss Papa John's... *pout*) and probably worst of all... no more random coffee runs whenever i have the money for it.
... and the shittiest part is my dad would probably just buy THIS house if that damn banker hadn't said he'd finance building a house back home.
And it wont be a nice house back home either. I mean like... a tiny house (compared to this one) so 'basic' they dont even want to spring for sheetrock for the walls, they just want to buy cheap bead-board panelling. Not hardwood floors like we have here, oh no... cheap ass linolium.
Worst of all... NO CENTRAL HEATING AND AIR!!!
Okay, i've been poor as dirt my whole life but NEVER have i lived in a house without central heating and Air... there is no way WINDOW UNITS will keep a house cool in 100+ degree weather... no way in hell.
I admit i'm spoiled from town. Last house we were in was AMAZING. It had expensive (to us) carpet through the whole house, high ceilings, nice wooden blinds on the windows, all this cool shit, two bathrooms and was around 2000sqft. I had the BEST ROOM EVER! Perfect room. Seriously. I had two big closets, one with two rails for my clothes to hango n, one with a shoe rack in the bottom for my shoes and a shelf for my random shit, one big one for my guitar and keyboard and stuff, and one shallow one with shelves for all my dvd's, cd's, game's, and video tapes.Shitty part is only one vent worked so my room was hot in the summer and cold in the winter.
This house! Not as nice as that one, but big and nice. It's got HUGE rooms, thats one thing. There are too many windows, and they all either have shitty window treatments or NONE. There is no closet space at all, and the roof in my room leaks so i have my room kinda shifted so there is a big gap where that leak wont get on anything, BUT the airconditioning in this house is GREAT! Top of the line! The one bathroom thing SUCKS, the shower-tub sucks, even if its pretty, and there's no counter in the bathroom. The kitchen also has no counter space and the oven is a wall mount probably from the 60's. HOWEVER, the floors in most of the house are gorgeous hardwood, the house is HUGE, and While the layout sucks and the fact i have no door and then a door that doesnt shut sucks, in general, its got a nice feel too it. It's also huge, if i didnt mention. My bedroom is the smallest and its like... 18 by 12 or something like that. This one is about 1800 sq.ft (though i'd have thought more, really. Our old house was only 1600 but it was TINY compared to this one... damn.
But then the one we'll build will be even smaller. Three bedroom, but more like... 1200/1400 sq. feet, one and a half bath, kitchen/living/dining all one big room downstairs. My mom and dad's room downstairs and about big enough to fit their bed and dresser. And then two bedrooms upstairs, one for the 3 kids and one for me... and it'll be bigger than my OLD OLD room (it was 9 by 13) but it'll be MUCH smaller than the last two rooms i had (14 by 16 and 18 by 20)
... So all in all... this sucks... a lot... and i know, i know, 'everybody has to make sacrifices' and i know it could be much worse, but it doesnt stop it from sucking *pouts*... it would be one thing if we hadn't ONLY BEEN HERE FOR NOT EVEN FOUR MONTHS!!! and fuck it, i just last week went and unpacked all my dvds and cd's and shit and hung up my clothes... good thing i didnt finish unpacking my two tote-buckets!
