What I am excited about...

This is the start of a list of things I am excited about for moving into my new house!

1. no piss on the toilet seat(no males at the new place)
2. nothing in the house that I don't want. Like pop cause I would like to stop drinking it.
3. I saw what A can do and not do.
4. My house my rules!

I may add to this at some point cause its only 4 things right now. So we will see. Sorry its a short one today. But who cares no one is reading this any ways.

Guess what, Guess what!!!!

So sorry I have not written lately... So You know I called bank on Tuesday and he said he would call me back Wed. He called me at like 5:15 and said I WAS PRE-APPROVED!!!!!!! So I called my relater and well guess what he was busy that night. So we meet Thursday at 8:15. Put in the offer and then got a call back on Friday night at about 5. They ACCEPTED it!!!! So closing date is Aug. 30th. That date can't come soon enough. I am so excited for me and A. I am already planning on how to do her bedroom.
I just am so proud. You know people look down on you as a unwed mother( and to tell the truth I used to too. I never thought I would be here.). So knowing that I will soon own a home is so exciting and I know this is the best for us. I am so proud to be doing this alone and am able too. I am not on welfare. I get 83 bucks every two weeks from A's dad. I am only on WIC. I have a full time job. I pay for daycare. Yes right now I am at my parents which was nice cause I was able to save money. Yes my mother does watch A after daycare so she is only there for 8 hours instead of 10 and on Saturdays.  Plus with my work hours(10 to 6) she would need to go to a different one as mine closes at 6. Plus I work a lot of overtime on Fridays.

So that's my exciting news. What I have already learned from home buying is its a big waiting game. You wait for the bank to pre-approve, then you wait for an answer on your offer, then you wait for closing date. Wait wait wait!!!!

Getting tough!

So today I had off from work cause I switched days cause we have lots of wedding cakes for Friday which means lots to do on Thursday and cause we down a decorator(she's on vacation) I am going in Thursday. So today our town had a job fair for kwik trip I decided to go cause what is there to lose. It went well but does not look like I could be paid as much as I would like. I want to make the same as I do where I am now. I guess I would take a little less due to the fact that I would not be driving half an hour to work. I guess I will see what happens.

next note- You all know I am waiting on the bank to tell me that they pre-approved my loan that I am looking for to get the house I want. Well I emailed him Friday and I think I called too. I did not hear back. Well today I called again. I called at 2ish. Left a message. I then waited till 4. I emailed him. Saying that I need an answer soon. I have waited my 10 days not counting weekends and 4th of July. I understand he is busy and he has other customers as well but I want to know what is going on. I also told him I would love a phone call but would take an email. I also said that maybe I should of gone with a local bank in town.
Well boy did that get a fire under his butt!!! He called less then 10 mins. after I sent my email. He sounded very frantic, kind of scared to lose me.  He told me what happened with my paper work. It was to go to 2 places and it only went one place. He also said he contacted the person in charge of the loans and told her how upset I am and we need an answer asap!  He also reassured me that I chose the right bank. He also asked about how to reach me tomorrow cause the last few times we have played phone tag. I told him I work tomorrow but he can call me there. He said he will be calling me tomorrow. O and he also said there should be no reason that it would be a no!!! So hopefully maybe I will be also calling my relater and putting in an offer on a house!!!*as long as no one has bought it*

Goodnight. Anyone out there reading this yet???  comment please! Thanks

to bed, to bed I said!

So just got done putting A to bed. She did not was to go to sleep. I don't understand how they fight it so much... I swear she thinks she is going to miss something. I sang to her over and over the same song. Its the same song my mother sang to me as a child. It's I had a little nut tree.

I Had a little nut tree

Nothing could it bare

but a silver nutmeg and a golden pear

The king of Spain's Daughter

came to visit me all for the sake

of my little nut tree

I swear I sang it 100 times just tonight. Ha o well I love that little girl. We swam in the pool after I got off work. She also saw the dog drink out of a pail so she decided to try to drink it like the dog did. Ha

I did not write yesterday cause our neighboring town had their city Daze. They have the best fireworks in the Sate I think. They are amazing. So that's where I was last night.

Nothing big is going on right now. I went back to work after having 3 days off. Was a little mad when I walked in to the cake decorators freezer cause nothing that came in on the truck Friday or Saturday was put away. Same with the plastics. I am sick of feeling like I am the only one who cares around there. We have a new decorator. She's been there for 3 months now. I am going to say something tomorrow. I understand we have been busy with graduation so its time to shape up. I am not a mean person and when ever I do say something I always feel bad that I am hurting someones feelings. But like I said I am sick of being the one doing all of it when there is 3 of us. The other girl has been there longer then I have and she likes to stand in 1 spot all day and just puts on cakes and cookies where she could work faster and do more backstock stuff. Before we could kind of deal with her slacking cause my old coworker used to help me out a ton. She was so fast and was on the same page as me, understanding that we had to get this stuff done. Well now the new girl is taking ofter the other gal (the one there already) so I need to put a stop to things before they get worse. Next step will be talking to our manager...

Well that's it. Thanks for letting me vent.  Goodnight. Also this will be the true test if I can keep up with this cause the work week starts. I keep losing when my blog is cause I have not gotten the link down yet. ha

Still waiting

Hi. Its now Friday and its 4:40 witch most likely no call from the Fing bank today. Can you tell I am getting sick of waiting. I was so hoping that this was all going to work out and now my hopes are dieing. I had the day off today and decided to go shopping with my sister. Just to get away from bumming around in the house today. I have cryed a few times. This was just a great house. Its hard to believe I feel this way about a house. Its kind of silly. But yet I had high hopes that this would mean that I was moving up in the world. That I can be a single mom and own a house and a car and barley get any child support from A's dad. I get 82 bucks every 2 weeks. Well Like I said last night I will let you know. Have a nice weekend. We are going to a parade tonight and tomorrow night we get the big firework show. I think they have one of the best in Minnesota.

The waiting game.

So I got this great idea that I could be a home owner. Well I went to the bank on June 24th. My mortgage leander said he was 99.9% sure that I would get approved for $x. He said he should know in 5 to 10 days and let me know. Well I have been waiting and can I just say it sucks and then the fact that we had July 4th in the mix as well which makes it 1 more non bank day. So really if you look at it 10 days would be July 11th! UGGG. Well my mom talked me into going and looking at houses before I have gotten my pre-approval letter. Well I fell in love with a house that is amazing and its dropped 20,000. It's an amazing house, updated, nothing needs to be fixed, perfect to grow in to. Well its been on the market for over a year and now that its at this price its more priced to sell. So here I am waiting on the bank and hoping no one goes and buys this house. My best guy friend lives behind it so our(ha talk like its mine already!) lawns touch. Another guy friends parents live across the street. Well the one saw them showing the house twice this week. It just kills me. I really would love this house. I believe in God and I try hard to believe that if this happens its meant to be and if it ends up selling to someone else I know that it was not meant to be and that there is something better out there. Its just is getting hard hoping and waiting. I am ready to move out of my parents house again. I was on my own before A was born and well when she was born I had my own apartment. Well my landlord kicked me out unlawfully with only a month to find a place with a brand new baby who was only 3 weeks old. So to make things easier and less stressful I moved back in to my parents.
Well all in all now I have the moving bug. If I don't end up getting this house I am going to start looking for apartments in town as for there are no houses that compare right now to the one I am now in love with. I am ready to be on my own and care for A by myself. Its hard cause sometime A crys for my mom which sometimes breaks my heart. I am just ready to do it!  Also I know it may sound silly but I will cry if I don't get this house. IT"S AMAZING!!! I will keep you all updated.

Welcome

Hello. Welcome. This is my first blog ever. I decided to start this cause I sometimes enjoy writing and I believe it is a great stress releaser. This is going to be my "secret blog". I really would like to share my story but yet would not like everyone in my business. If that makes any sense at all... I maybe am just looking for some feedback or input in to my little life. So I am K. I am 25. I am a cake decorator. I work at a grocery store in Minnesota. I am a single mom to a lovely little girl, A. A is 1. She is amazing. This blog will include her a lot, she is my life! Another thing you should know and may have already found out is that I am a horrible speller. Please live with me. I try my best but I suck at it but I do see that there is a spell check option. So I will try to use it as much as I can. As of right now I am going to use this blog to share about my life as a single mom, about work and my fellow workers(another reason to have it be a secret blog), um shoot I has something else but forgot. Ha. I hope you all enjoy and come back when ever you feel like it.
