One friggin' week.

This past week has been such a whirlwind. I never knew life would turn out like it did. I don't want to say anything is settled because it won't be.

One.
So I finally decided to do something about my mondo payment for my precious Jeep. 3 years ago when I purchased this car, I was financially stable. I had a great job at the Dallas Morning News, and it seemed like the newspaper business was the place to be. WRONG! Who knew a couple years later I would find myself out of that job and finally landing a job as a cashier at Walmart? Really? Yes. So I ended up working a deal out with my amazing mom, who came up with the plan of basically trading cars with her. She gets a loan out for the Jeep that she can afford, and I make payments that I can afford to pay off the rest of her 2000 Echo. Sometime next month, we would be making that arrangement. Yay! Right?

Two.
David lost his job. Yup, on Tuesday, his bosses came up to the jobsite and told him and his dad that they are not needed at this site anymore... turn in the truck and clean out the office and go back home. So now, we may be moving back to Dallas after only 4 MONTHS of being here. After a month of moving hell, which we did not ever get compensated for. And now that we just started to get settled, they tell us this news?? I have to forget school for now. That sucks a bunch, I was really excited about starting a new career. SO Now what?? He has some opportunities down in Dallas, but the only question is, will the pay be worth it? Can we find a home quick enough? Do we have enough money to move again? The only light is our landlord is being understanding and not charging us anything extra, she's just keeping the deposit. I can deal with that. So the unnerving questions boiling in my brain are:

Will he get a job here or in Dallas? Will the money be stable or up and down?

Will we have enough money to move again? Should we sell some stuff?

When are we moving?

Where are we moving? Will they accept my credit, even though I have great rental history?

Will I have a job at a Walmart down there? I've only been here about a month, so will another store be hiring for a newbie cashier?

Please. I need a break.
