Wow...This past year has been an experience I would choose not to do again. My son and I were living peacefully in an apartment. The same apartment for 14 years! I moved in when he was 10 months old.....Although I did not care for the neighborhood and had seen a decline in area the around ...It was home.

Having to step in and help my mother with household chores it became apparent that she needed more. I was working a full time job, a part time job (from home), raising a child, cleaning two households, grocery shopping for two households, paying two sets of bills, etc. A sure fix to the whole idea and to free up some of my time so I could enjoy life a was to combined the two households....WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!

Mom and my Aunt and Uncles came into an inheritance from a cousin who passed away. It was agreed that I would find us a place to buy and use part of Mom's inheritance for the down payment on a house. I would carry the mortgage as my part of the deal and we would combined households.....WHAT WAS I THINKING!!!!
