Hello all my lovely Fibro family!

Hubby and I have made a big decision. We were talking this past week and decided we are going to sell our house. It is just too much for us to take care of. its an old modular and it needs ALOT of work that we just cant afford and dont have the time to put in it. with me being sick and being on meds for Bipolar Disorder, I cant do much of anything. Im lucky if I can vacum or do the dishes. Hubby works so much that he has no time to do anything either.

We are going to move in with my mother in law within the next month. She lives alone and cant take care of her house alone because of health issues, so we are going to convert her family room into a studio apartment with the money from my settlement from the wreck i was in. We get along well with her so it should work out well. Plus, she will be with me when hubby is at work and he will be there during the day.

We will be able to save over $24000 a year to put toward a chunk of land while living with her too. Believe it or not we are both SO RELIEVED that this is happening. The stress of keeping this house up and running is just too much for either of us at this point.

So I guess I will be pacing up a lot over the next few weeks! Wish me luck!

Amanda

Thanks darlin! I am happy..for the first time in a long time! I think the new meds are working. I just feel so calm. I think its because we felt like we were digging ourselves deeper and deeper into a hole and now I feel like someone is throwing us a rope!

That's great news. It's awful when your home is more of a liability than a haven. I hope things work out for you. I can't imagine living with my mother-in-law or my mother. I'm a real loner anyhow,I always have been. I have found you can be just as lonely with people around you as when you are home alone. My hubby can't stand to be alone for 5 minutes. We're so opposite it makes me wonder how we've stayed together for over 20 years.

You be careful with the move!You can really overdo it trying to get everything done. I've decided I'm never moving again unless I'm dead. And then I won't have to move cause someone will have to do it for me.LOL!!
