Shoot. I found a cute looking house to rent(they have 7 pictures on realtor.com). It's in a really good location, safe neighborhood (or at least used to be 10 years ago I had a friend used to live in that area). Five blocks from the community college which I'm hoping S15 could attend in 1.5 years when he's old enough. About 20 minutes from the theatre and church where we do a lot. And five minutes from the park and 5 to 10 minutes from H's apt. But the bad news: don't know if they take pets yet, and also it's $800 which is way more than the 500 to 700 I was hoping for.

I'm tempted to talk to H about it; he wants me to live in that area and it would be good for the kids, but maybe he could increase my current monthly payment if I run out of $$$. The problem is finding a place that is 500 to 700 and will take dogs, so far I haven't been able to do it. And it might be in a town a few towns away from him like I am now. Ideas anyone????
