Txbrat's blog: "Really sucks"

created on 09/25/2006  |  http://fubar.com/really-sucks/b6558

2007 will be better?

I left Austin in 01 after having to file bankrupcy to try and save my grandmothers house after she died.I still couldn't afford to keep up the mortgage on it so i sold it quickly payed off the bankrupcy and we left Austin moved to the Killeen area where houses where cheaper to buy. Bought a house there that turned out had so many problems,rat infestation, a leak we didn't know about till to late then find out the pipes n the house had some major problem and no plumper in town would touch them,then mold the bad kind toxic mold so we just had to walk away from the house. e had flat out payed cash for it and lost everything. We came back to Austin and had to move in with my then mother n law who is a bitch and made my life miserable daily,even would bad mouth me to my kids but my kids alays stood up for me. Out of the blue one night late she kicked us all out on the streets at that time my youngest was 6 months old,thankfully it was in July so we didn't end up on the streets in freezing weather. Thankfully for friends the next night had a place to stay but could only stay so long when you got a family of 6. Finally found a extended stay hotel that we could afford on a weekly bases. Things sucked before all that happened with me and the kids dad and all the stress finally did us in and we split up for good.He went back to his mom. We stayed here basically homeless atleast the schools etc consider us homeless since a motelroom is not intended to be in as long as we have which is now over 2 and a half yrs now but better then on the streets as i have to explain to the kids it could be worse.we got each other, a roof over our head,food ,cable tv,free wifi, bills payed though paying over a 1200 a month on this place for that we could be n a apartment. I get from the schools etc why don't you just get a apartment well 1st since i have 4 kids we are required to get a 3 bedroom place most of the apartments want you to make 3 times what your rent will be lmao ya not going to happen for me ed lalso most hen they see i have 4 get this glazed look in their eyes and turn very unfriendly. Then there is my credit at the very beginning of this i found some income based apartments could of got a 3 bedroom for 400 a month at 1st passed the credit check despite tons of medical bills but then they found the bankrupcy i had filed and dispite me paying it off in less then a yr only filing to save the house not to cover any other debts for crap like i saw many do,bought boats,cars furniture etc then filed so they could keep it all but all i was trying to do was cover 3 months of the mortgage keep the bank from foreclosing before i could sale, the cost of the bankrupcy cost me ay more then the amount i filed to keep the bank away. I now warn anyone thinking of filing make darn sure you really think it out and darn sure there is no other way out of it. But thanks to that bankrupcy i get turned down everytime i think i found a place. Anyone have a clue how long it takes to get a bankrupcy off your credit? have heard 7 yrs but someone recently told me it was 10 yrs.. Anyway hopefully it will soon be behind us and we can get a fresh start in 07 in a place of our own. a home,a place where the kids can safely play outside.where hopefully there is not always the cops,dea,undercovers etc,ppl dying of overdoses,needles n the parking lot and oh yea the meth lab i had above me and several other ones near us and i can't forget my stalker of 5 months here. The toxic house in killeen well a mirical someone actual wants to buy it ,knows of the problems and plans to just tear the house down and build on the the several acres we had,all left to do is sign some papers. My ex mother n law maybe out of guilt has agreed to co sign,i had the kids tell her of all of our lovely neighbors,the raids etc every chance they got lol so with the money from the house can cover the 1st,last months rents and deposits for everything get us some furniture and now as soon as i find a place that the kids can stay in the same school they r in now we will be out of here yeaaa no more homeless. Please try not to look done on those who are homeless not all are drunks,or those who don't work many mostly families end up homeless because of someone becoming ill n the family or getting a house with toxic mold and many other reasons.Actually here in Austin there is more families homeless then single males and it is getting that all over the country. Those of us with private tradgies don't get help from the goverment a 2 yr waiting list for the goverment owned low income housing and for the cash assistance where they pay half of your rent every month had a 3 yr waiting list for it and not even taken new names. But then Katrina hit abunch came here and got right into housing,recieved furniture,cars and cash. The state helped,the churches helped Dr Phil,Oprah and so on..my kids asked me mom why doesn't anyone help us like that i had to just try and explain because our problems where not in a major spotlight and basiclly we got screwed but we don't yell at the state,goverment etc we do our best to help ourselves and thank god for friends and some people who just care like the people at the kids schools. Anyhow so excitied to be looking for a place and know we got a good chance to get 1 now. biggest problem is and need advice,the kids had been going to the same school for 3 yrs then sudenly at the beginning of this yr i had no choice and change them to the district the hotel is in.boy oh boy my kids where not happy mostly my 11 yr old,he is n 5th grade and wanted it to be at the school he had been at for so long.now they love their new schools 2 of them n elementary and 1 1n middile school,the schools are great blue ribbon pretty wealth area bad thing there is only 1 apartment complex that the younger 2 could stay where they are now and i looked into it no 3 bedrooms and they said no way to renting a 2 bedroom some law or a rule in the TEA agreement. Can move just down the road where there is some 3 bedrooms but it would mean changing the younger 2 too another schoool half way through, it is a good school too but the boys say no way well least my 11 yr old, my 6 yr old is happy anywhere but i love his kindergarden teacher she is so sweet.my oldest would be able to stay where he is at. other option is move back to cedar park area where my mother n law,their dad lives and the kids could go back to the schools they went to the last 3 yrs but my 12 yr old hated the middle school over there and wants to stay at the middle school he is at now. other option stay n this hellhole till school is over May 24th uhggg none like that suggestion.so what n the world do i do who do i make change schools,should we just stick it out here ? any and all advice could use.. thanks
