get my own apartment

I’m only sixteen (still quite young), but at times I feel very anxious around my parents as if I want to just get away from them and have my own place where I can truly relax and not have to follow anyone else’s laws by my own. A place that I can furnish the way I WANT TO, blast the music I WANT TO, let whoever in that I want, and just be me.

It’s just annoying living under someone else’s roof when I’m independently minded person.

People who want to ‘separate from my husband’ also want to ‘get my own apt’
I move in this Friday.
It’s really not my VERY own place, I will be staying there Friday night until Sunday 9pm.
McEx will be there Sunday 9pm until Friday AM

We will be at the house four doors over parenting the kids in shifts.

I’m putting a sofa bed in the apt so the kids can come over anytime they want.

OK I let life get in the way of this goal… I mad my first deposit into my savings account for this goal. So it officially starts today. I was bull shitting around before! smh Now my move in date is May 2010… I’ll save and sacrifice for 6 months… Let’s go!

Sometimes I wish I didn’t.

get my own insurance – I’m still under my dad’s Allstate policy.

find a roommate – which doesn’t seem like it’ll be very difficult. I have a few friends who’ve been asking me about rooming.

a second job – or a new job all together. I love working banquets because it’s always different, and there’s lack of routine. But you never know what you’re pay check is going to be, or how much work you’re going to have next week. Lots of people who work with me have a second job.

look into school – a lot of people I go to work with are in college too. good thing about my job is there’s often times lots of time to study. And my supervisors seem really good at working around school and second job schedules.

visit Indianapolis – I might want to go to school and live here. I already found a place I like in new Albany, but I’d like to keep other options open too. And if I am going to go to school maybe I could just live on campus for a while.

save up 6 months expenses

I want to get my own place, one where I don’t have to room with anyone and also where my mom doesn’t have to cosign for me.

Water and power will be turned on day after tomorrow at our new house. Went and got the keys today, with the girlies, and I do really like it. It’s awesome. Just wish the girlies wheren’t leaving. We will probably get a roommate for at least the fall& winter, to help us pay the bills.

So we should be able to move into our house Sept 1st. It’s a duplex in a the same neighborhood as T’s house, and its nice. Two bedroom, one bathroom, big living room, big kitchen, big backyard, lots of closets, pets ok… Pretty awesome. 625$ rent, plus water and electricity. Significantly higher than I wanted but I guess we can afford it, just not as comfortably as I wanted. Worth it in some ways, the 2nd bedroom for an extra living room/ girl’s room. Only problem? Sept. 15th, the girls and T are moving three states away to move in with T’s new fiance. I just wanna friggen kill him :/ We’ll get to have the girls, like for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, Spring break and half the summer. It friggen sucks. One tiny lil upside, when we meet T half-way to get the girls for next summer, can meet my grandparents at the same time to get my sister… Already suggested that to my grandmother and she’s open to the idea. We’ll see. We’ll just have to make the most of the time we get with the girls, all three of them.

A complex near where I may soon be working. They have first floor studios starting at 420$ available. I’ll go look at them and do a lease application Wednesday (my birthday). WISH ME LUCK please and thank you!

I love my apartment! It’s a small flat, but just perfect for me! I decorated it in my favorite color, white, so in the morning when the sun comes in it’s like waking up in heaven. It’s just a block away from downtown, so I can walk to the coffee shop any time, too!
