Life Comes at You Fast (Update)

For those of you that read "Life Comes at You Fast" that I posted a few days ago, I have updates.
Update 1: We found the house we want to move into, and we thought we had the money lined up to pay for the deposit on the house, changing the utilities over to our name, etc. We've started packing up our stuff and going through everything in the attic to see what needs to come with us and what needs to be sold/taken to goodwill/trashed.
Update 2: The guy we were going to borrow the deposit money from ($1000) suddenly can't come up with the money for us, after guaranteeing us that he could. We would have been able to pay him back within the month, but we needed the help right now. So, we're looking at not being able to move into the house, and it getting taken over by another family.
Life comes at you fast, and it's not always good things. The pressure from all of this is really starting to weigh on me.
Update 3: (For those of you that read "Ever Feel Like the People Around You Are Absolute Morons?") - Came home to the cat locked in the bathroom, less one island and one stove in the kitchen, and a sink in the bathroom full of cat poop. There was no food in the bathroom, but the toilet had been left open, I'm guessing so that she could drink. The fact that we left at 2, came home at almost 10:30, and she was meowing like someone was trying to kill her, scratching at the door like no tomorrow, I'd say he sold the stove around 3 or 4, forgot that he had locked the cat in the bathroom, and just ignored her meowing. I am BEYOND upset with him now.
So, there's your updates.

I'm sorry to hear that all of this is happening to you. I can definitely relate to your situation. We have had a lot happen with us because we need to move as well. Our landlord and his family were in a different state and we have been renting from them for almost two years.
Then all of a sudden he calls and tells us he will be coming back to the area in two weeks and that he will be needing the house back. He comes over with his new girlfriend one day and starts to work in the yard. At first he said that he would give us the time needed for us to move. So we are shooting for September 1st. Even with that things will be super tight.
Then he comes over just the other day and told my husband that him and his wife are getting back together and he wanted to know if we could move out earlier than September 1st because his wife would like to have the kids enrolled in school around August 21. Excuse me, just because their life is so turned around doesn't mean they should act that way. I told my husband there is no way we are moving out before September 1st. Not only is it crazy to do things in the middle of the month, but I already told the landlord moving out by September 1st is tight itself. I think landlords think that people can just up and move but it will cost us close $1,500.00 to move which is a lot of money. I will just be happy when it is all done and over with.
I hope that you and your family are able to get the money that you need to move. Perhaps you can check and see if there are any agencies, or churches that will help you with getting your security deposit paid, especially when you have to be out right away and don't have the money.

Yeah I completely understand what you mean about him turning into a different person. An unfortunately for some reason they do feel we should pull all of that money out of nowhere. How are you two doing since your move? We are still trying to catch up with everything. We have only been in our new place for three weeks now. We had to stay with family for a few weeks because moving takes time and we weren't able to get into our new place as soon as we would have liked to.
Now that we are in our new place we are playing catch up.Catch up with bills from the old place, and from all of the deposits and new bills we have now. It often times seems as if we can not get ahead. I'm looking to find a full time job. My husband's full time and my part time job just isn't cutting it.
So I'm hoping that I will find something soon because I earning online takes too much time and I'm not making very much that way. I would like to find a job with set hours to where when I get home that is time that I spend with my daughter. Trying to work online requires too much time throughout the whole day and evening.
