Moving

So this really isn't working.  I can't be everything to all people.  And while they all have needs I still maintain that my priority is the littles.  If we stay, it is a matter of time before Mom hurts one of them. I can ignore the snide comments at me....and I know it is the disease talking.  But the littles do not totally understand when she calls them names and yells all the time.  I thought I yelled a lot.  Part of the time the littles think it is all a game.  I think they know she is their age and that is why it is fun.  I don't know.
Our way of coping has been to remove ourselves from the living area.  Audrie gets in trouble whenever she tries to play in the living room.  And it is the only place big enough for her to spread her stuff out.  Couches are not for toys to be on.  Wait...what?  And on and on and on.  We are holed up in a ten by ten room.  This is not home.
So I went on craigslist to see what is available now.  I went in search of apartments at the complex I was looking at in Dec.  There is an apartment available.  And on craigslist there is a duplex available by Kiwanis Park.  Rent is the same.  I would probably have to pay water and garbage at the duplex.  But it is one level and next to the park.  I would only have one neighbor.....much more privacy than in an apartment.  After all I have been down that road and know what that is like.  And I would do it, but I have this other option.
So tonight the little and I go look at the duplex.  According to the ad it is available this weekend.  The apartment wouldn't be available for another two weeks.  And once I make up my mind sooner is better. And I have this week off to prepare.
