If I knew the devil... I'd do it. Right now. In a heartbeat.
Isn't that terrible?
I know it's our fault. I know I should have gone back to work and tried to help dig us out of debt. I knew it would come back to bite me in the ass one day. The ability to stay home with my kids, pay our bills (but not pay DOWN our bills), and live like we did when D and I were both working... is more than wonderful. I absolutely hated my job. I was lucky to be laid off at the perfect time.
I've been home with the kids and with D for almost two years and do I regret it? Not for a second. My kids need me, my husband needs me, and frankly I need them. I'm perfectly content being "just a stay-at-home-mom," or whatever you want to call it. I love it. Never thought I would, but I do.
So now, we "thought" we were ready to buy a house. The market is awesome, perfect for us. We found this awesome AWESOME house that we could totally see ourselves in. We totally got approved for a loan too! We could afford the payments, but there's this one.. thing... It's called our GIANT debt. We've managed to run it up quite a bit since I haven't been working as I'm sure most Americans have, but it just totally sucks! The big contingency is that we have to "borrow" the amount of our debt from someone to make the loan stick. Uhhh... easier said than done. I mean. we've resorted to playing $1 dollar quick picks every Wednesday and Saturday in the hopes that the lotto fairy will bless us with just enough money to pay down our debt and give us a nice down payment.
Maybe when the baby comes I can donate some eggs or something... I hear you can make a good profit!
Oh magic money fairy... take pity on us so that we don't have to find a devil to make a deal with! We don't want to be stuck renting for the rest of our lives!
