And now..... I am house hunting, with a major deadline: August 22, 2011

So, we have been searching for a house and we thought, we had found it Friday but, as usual, we go to see it and it turns out that it is 35 minutes away from my job without traffic so, that made it out of the question. You see, my schedule at work is, Classes 7AM-9AM, No classes 9AM to 1PM, classes 1PM to 8:30PM, with breaks ranging from 30 minutes to 1 hour in between so, I need a house close enough to where I can go home at 9AM and not break the bank with gas usage. I am literally dying of exhaustion right now, I leave my house at 6AM and don't return until 9:30PM, 15 1/2 hours away from home!! Thank God, it is only Monday-Thursday, Fridays are so much easier, I leave at 6AM and return at 3PM.  

Back to the house hunting, I found this beautiful house 5 minutes from my first class and 15 minutes from my last class. It had 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a loft area upstairs and living room, dining room, kitchen, foyer, 1/2 bath, laundry room down stairs and only cost $4500 pesos. So it was all good until, the owner told me it wouldn't be ready until October!! Go figure!  Thus morning, i went to give a class and my 7AM student asked me how the house search was going and I told him not so good. He said that he has a house about 15 minutes from the office and it has 3 Bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, living room, kitchen, dining room, and fenced in yard (With grass!!!) and just wants someone to occupy it. I asked about rent, he said, "we'll discuss that later for me not to worry" Then, I asked about the deposit he said, "I just told you, we'll discuss this later, don't worry!" So, I am going to look at it this week, hopefully it is as good as he says so, I can get my kids situated in a school before, August 22, 2011!

If anybody knows of anyone in the San Nicolas area with a house for rent, PLEASE contact me!!

My job is going great, other than my crazy hours, my in-laws have completely drove me crazy!! I have just learnt to ignore certain things, if I don't, it will eventually cause Miguel and I major issues, we fight all the time here lately due to the stress. He has even mention a few times that he wants to just cross the border again with a coyote so, everything will go back to normal but, I refuse to let him.

 Have a great day everyone!

Sis in law says I steal babies!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, we went to a party this weekend at Miguel's cousin's house, it was for his son's first birthday. So, we arrived and I went in to say hello to his other cousins and all of a sudden, his cousin confronts me.
    She says,""Why are you trying to sell my baby?"
    I about fell on the floor!! I asked, "What the hell are you talking about?"
    She told me that my sister in law told her that, I was trying to sell her baby online and the deal fell through because, the couple wanted a girl and her baby is a boy!!! This is my Godson, for Gods sake!
    I was sure, she was joking but, no she said that sis in law told her to be careful. I assured her that it was not true and got everything straight with her and her mom, thank God.
    I came to find out that my mother in law was there when this was told and didn't say anything to defend me. So, I have been a black market baby dealer or so my comadre thought for the past week and me, no clue. She asked me not to say anything at the party because, it would have ruined everything. I didn't say anything and am waiting until she returns from Tampico this weekend to confront her. However, I will be talking to Mother dearest today after work.
    Miguel is very angry about this but, I think he feels like he will lose is parents after we confront them. This sister lives in her parents house and practically controls everything his parents do. I feel bad for them and for Miguel but, oh well, she shouldn't have made up that kind of lie. I could have been arrested for that!
   Needless to say, we are definitely moving this weekend come hell or high water!!! I will be find a new babysitter, also.
