I found an apartment in one of the best school districts in the metroplex today. Its a bit more than I wanted to spend, but as long as I budget closely and keep my job or get a better one, I will be able to manage it. Hopefully my car won't break down. Its 11 years old.

The apartment is nice. There are 3 pools and its up in Carrollton for anyone familiar with the area. The thing is I have to sign a 12 month lease for it. I'm not 100% sure that I am comfortable with a 12 month lease. But then what is the option? Its not like I have anywhere to go if things don't pan out.

I'm thinking there is a slight chance that I may end up with the kids more than I thought by going up north a bit more. I'm not sure that W is going to want to make the drive each morning and night during the week. I could be wrong. We will see.

Its a bit scary doing this as a contractor. But this job is eventually supposed to go perm at some point down the road.

And yes, I showed W the apartment and she liked it and is glad the kids won't be in the same school next year. I need to find a way to start a part time business some how.
