Holy Crap Sandwich, Batman! We've got a problem!

It's no secret to most everyone I know that my husband and I are living with my parents currently. This was a move made after dear husband lost his job at the end of July (might I add he was let go on his birthday which was 2 days before MY birthday, oh happy day) and we have since been renting our house to a family friend. Since then, I can say that time has passed relatively swiftly and we have no major complaints living with the folks. That being said..... I miss my own house. I miss it so terribly! However, since the aforementioned loss of job we have not been able to make it back to our previous financial state. DH has found another full time job, but in the process he had to get rid of the part time job to accomadate the new full time job hours. Also, due to my upcoming Nursing school schedule, I had to switch to a day shift position at work. This comes with a loss of my night differential and means a loss of roughly $180 per month.

So if you've been following along with me- we are now down substantially from our pre-job loss status and still unable to move back into our home. Don't get me wrong, I am super glad that things worked out and we have someone paying the mortgage by living in our place. I just can't shake the feeling that we are a burden on my parents and they probably have the same "can't we just have our house back" sentiment that we do. I just keep reminding myself that things will get better. I am sacrificing all of these things to make a better life possible. To make these sorts of feelings and blogs obsolete. Never again will I have to rely on anyone but myself for anything financial. I will be able to provide a stress free (financially anyways) life for DH, myself, and our future children. There is a light at the end of the tunnel. With one year of nursing school down, and 2 semesters left to go- I can see it!!!!!

On a lighter note, I had my very last lecture of the semester today. All that I have left are 5 exams and I will be done for the year! It feels so good to say that. Our instructors weren't lying when they said that it would go by so much faster than any of us realized. Also, tonight I am planning on starting an IV on Dad. Haha, he doesn't even know what's coming! J/k- I'm pretty sure it wont be too bad.
