Its a downpour....

Wow.... it hasn't just poured, it's been a monsoon. Just when you think life is finally going to treat you well, things are looking up, and everything is coming up roses ( GAG ), life throws you a curve... a REALLY large curve.
The hosue that we have lived in for 3 years and love ( we love the house, even though its small, our son has many friends here and so do we.. we were actually HAPPY here )we have to move out of. We were doing a lease/option with the homeowners. They wants US to have THEIR house, they knew how much we love it here. And, on May 18th, we get a call from the husband telling us that not only are they NOT renewing our lease, OR selling us the house.. BUT.. we have to move IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS !!!!!!!! Yep.. all the time and effort we have put into maintaining this home... the repairs we have done so they wouldnt have huge bills... the improvements we have made.. all of it.. gone.. poof... like it never happened. And the THANKS we get is " GEE... SORRY, BUT WE WANT YOU OUT ". Seems they are moving back to Michigan from Florida, and want their house back. Now, I know that TECHNICALLY its their house and they can take it back.. and I guess I am okay with that. What I am NOT okay with is the way we have been treated. The less than 30 days ( legally they have to give us a 30 day written notice which they have not done ) REALLY pisses me off. The way this whole deal was handled pisses me off... our son has been upset, hes cried on several occasions about having to leave his neighborhood and his friends ( he just turned 9 ). We have been stressed to the max worrying about where we are going to live and how we are going to pay for a move we were not planning on, if we could keep our son in the same school and would we have to get rid of the dog that he loves....
We found another house, not int he same neighborhood, but a brand new home on a lease/option. Well.. seems we are being screwed AGAIN.. the realtor KNOWS our situation ( maybe that was a mistake telling them ) and has dragged his sorry ass about getting the paperwork done.. hes upped the amount we need to move in from 2,250 to 4,250... which has strapped us.. we can't go out looking for another place since we only have AT THE MOST about 10 days left to vacate( I KNOW.. we could stay and fight it , but who wants that stress and hassle ? I sure don't , and we can't afford to have a court judgement on our credit )So.. here we sit.. STILL not knowing if we have a place to live or not... I'm packing like we do... but where do we go if this house falls through ?
Life has always done this to us.. Oh no.. I don't mean a once in a while thing.. I mean its a YEARLY occurance or better. My husband lands a dream job, and this house thing happens... its ALWAYS like that !! I know I should count my blessings, and there are many.. but DAMNIT.. I hate the stress in our lives !!! Just a couple months ago my husband was laid off...so we went through hell with that, now this. I know I am whining.. and I really don't care... this is MY blog and I can whine if I want to...LOL.
Anyway... life has a way of kicking us in the ass.. I keep wondering what we are being punished for.. and isn't nearly 11 years of this shit enough ???????
