So it turns out we can't afford our house payments. I've ignored this fact for quite a while. My mom's been in denial for quite a while and my Dad has just given up. Recession finally strikes!
Anyways tonight we've had a family discussion. My Dad is too sick to work and the stress is making him more sick each and every day. My mom knows it too but she still pressures my dad to work because we can't afford the house without him working. In compensation for this predicament, my sister has decided take over the house payments once she graduates nursing school, Spring 2010. However, will we still have the house by then or will we lose the house while shes in the middle of her last semester of nursing school? Not only that but will she be able to land a job quick after she graduates? The chances of finding a job out there as a nurse has also become very slim due to national debts and that not many people have jobs anymore they cannot pay for their health bills. In addition to that because the job possitions are getting slimmer the employers are going to hire those with more experience.
Basically our only means of keeping our house is in the hands of my sister.
Of course there are other options but this option seems to be the most realistic.
As for me, this situation just stresses me out because FINALLY I got the car I have been wanting for a long time. And also I got a job to fix it up like i wanted to and get fitted. But this situation puts me at a stand still. Should i fix up my car? if we lose the house my car will not have any garage to stay fresh and itll just rot and ill waste my money. Whats the point of having fresh clothes if i MIGHT need the money for school supplies. Basically it stresses me out to finally get to the point where i have the chance to obtain what ive been wanting and not be able to do it because i need to use the money for other things such as school. In other words ive been longing to live this way for a long time since middle school. I want the money the cars the clothes because i have never had it handed to me. I did a couple times have some shopping days buhh they were only short lived. I always had to mix up last years with a couple of new years with some fits from three years ago. To this day i still were clothes from seventh grade.
It sucks to finally be able to do what you want and be held back by something like this.
So i thought about todays discussion. Inspired from my sister's lil speech about how this is not about me anymore this about Blase and his Future. Hes going to be Five. I want to be a good mom and im doing this all for Blase. I too want to be a good father someday so its set!
Priorities: School, visit God, Work, and Nursing school
This is 2010. Last year was 2009. I am capable of doing anything. I have it in me. I just need to let it out. Everything will come in time. Just as these years have gone by quick so will this hardship.
Short-term Goals: six pack by summer, get A's in Nursing pre-requisites and work on drumming rudiments
Long Term Goals: Graduate rcc with an Associates in Science Degree, Associates in Math and Science Degree, and an Associates in Nursing Degree; tear it up on the drumset, Get my BS in nursing from Fullerton, UCLA, San Bernardino, or LongBeach. Possibly get my MS in nursing
Here we Go 2010!
