Good luck on finding that house then, it's really not unusual for a mortgage to work out to being cheaper than (or the same as) rent (coming from having worked as both a real estate agent and as a mortgage broker in the past), but you've got to watch the points and the fees and get a good rate.

I know what you mean about the daycare, my ex-wife wanted to help out by getting a part time job at one point and it meant putting the kids into daycare (for us, at the time, it was an infant and a pre-schooler full time plus a elementary school child part time) and after three weeks of her working, we had to have her quit the job she'd found because on part time wages she was getting paid less than daycare was costing and I couldn't afford to cover our bills and groceries that way. :(

We were doing that when Kareie was working, as the kids had to go to a before and after school program, or daycare due to her shift.  It cost us over half of her paycheck to pay for it, and she was working full-time!  Once she got a different shift, it was much, much better, as they were only in the after school program and daycare.  Now Lortan is old enough to babysit all but the youngest, IF he's home.  But it would still be expensive to put Noah in Daycare.

Bad News, I'm afraid.  Kareie has separated from me.  We're still talking, trying to work things out, but it's not going to be a short separation from the looks of things.  I don't want to get into details, or blame.  I have no internet access right now, so I won't be able to post very often. (I'm using the public library right now.)  Between work, packing the whole house, and trying to find a place to live, I don't have enough hours in the day.  I didn't want to just disappear, so I stopped by to say see ya later. :bye: Hopefully, it won't be too long.

Wow.. that was unexpected. :shock:
Best wishes to you both and to the kids. (Folks tend to forget how rough these things can be on them sometimes.) We'll be here when you guys have time to visit again. :sorry:

Hey all - sry I went MIA again my schedule has just been insane - I'm usually at my parents' house 4-5 days a week and only here about 2 days. And by then my inbox has about 300 e-mails screaming for attention LOL - add cleaning up the house and trying to squeeze in some exercise here and there and I've about had it  :sleepy: .... but, I'm hoping that this month will be a bit more organized and less frantic ^.^ .... and maybe I'll have more time to catch up with my friends ^.^

So anyways, how have you all been? Good I hope - I noticed that you were having server troubles, hope that everything got moved ok ^.^ Well.... I'll TTYL

HUGGLES!!!!

While I'm almost always here, I can easily relate to the being that busy.. :sigh:

As for how we've been, well, mostly busy but, overall, not too bad actually. :)

The server.. :sigh: most of the transition completed on schedule (more or less) and more smoothly than I'd even hoped for. Unfortunately, there are still several parts that are not working the way they're supposed to be but we ran out of time to deal with them before we had to leave for Aaron's appointment and now that we're back, I get the pleasure of trying to catch up on all the stuff that going away for a week normally induces plus figuring out what went wrong with those items so I can fix them. :( :doh:
