We found the house ... We are going to be able to get the house...
We, as in ... you and your WH? Are you sure it's a good time to buy a house together? Doesn't it set you up for possible complications?
The house will be in my name only and I have budgeted it with the thought of only my income. (just in case) The fact of the matter is I am paying money to rent a house and it's just tossing away more money than I would be paying for a mortgage. Plus this rental has turned into a comedy of errors, weekly something else breaks and the realtors send out a plumber/carpenter/maintenance worker. The house I have my eye on is up to date in everything, the public schools are some of the top rated in the nation and the area is very nice. This is part of my "moving forward" things. In the past my DB coach said to live life as if WH is in a coma on life support, basically decide as if I have no one else.
Things are in a holding pattern, WH and I are cordial, discuss only the children and keep things impersonal, like we're neighbors or something. I am okay with that as I have only the strength to take care of myself and the kids. I continue this weird non-feeling around him, it's like living with a roommate I don't know very well.
We are going to WDW this weekend for DD5 and DS4 birthday. (belated for DS and early for DD) I bought them those silly toys called Hatchimals. (DD5 has been asking for over 3 months and I got them when they were "only" $60) My cousin and his partner will be coming too and I think it will be an absolutely great time for the kids. I am excited and look forward to building new memories and watching the kid's faces light up.
