Junior worked until his usual 1pm today, and when he got home, we decided to play Santa, and deliver the banana breads I made this morning. My mom was keeping the kids tonight so that we could finish up our shopping, so we had some time to kill between playing Santa and dropping them off. We decided to ride around and see if we could find any cheap apartments for rent. I know we said we would never do another duplex, at least not one like this, but apartments are different. There are no yards to share. The down side of this is that there is no yard for the kids to play in. We would have to find cheap apartments in an apartment building that has a playground, and maybe even a pool.
I looked up cheap rentals online, and this site was pretty helpful. They offered pictures of the apartments, as well as nice descriptions. The only bad thing was that there aren't any apartments available where we want to live. I guess this means we will be back to driving around, seeing what we can find.
We did walk through a three bedroom trailer today. It was in the perfect location, has very reasonable rent, and would keep Brandi in the same school. The only problem is that it is too small, and I wouldn't be able to fit all my furniture. The two kids bedrooms wouldn't even fit a twin bed. They were that small. It was disappointing, but at least now we know it's not a good fit for us.
We'll keep looking, though.

I need to find a cheaper place to live too. It's just so hard to find anyone that will rent to a family of seven *sighs*.
I am sure that this is so frustrating. Often I feel that our little townhouse is too small, too, (doesn't even fit both of the kids beds in their room unless there is nothing else) but then I remind myself that it could be this or nothing, and that we are "closer" (okay, these may just be things I tell myself, but they work!)
