---Three more days! *squeal* I can't wait!
---My mom works for a company that hires traveling nurses. She's up in Philly right now which is really cool because that's everyone on my mom's side's hometown. But I am the only person in my family besides my dad's side that isn't born in Philly. All my brothers were and their dad was (They're my half-brothers, btw). Back to the point, my mom's up there until Thursday, and then she has off Friday. The agreement was she gets a $5000 bonus for traveling up there (The company pays for flights, etc.) for about 10 or so weeks. Taking the tax away, she'll get around $3000. We've planned where the money goes and everything, a couple hundred goes to my futon I need for the den along with some paint, rugs, and decor, another hundred goes toward my late birthday party. She's getting the bonus in November, so it's really late. She'll probably have $2000 leftover, which we can take about $1000 out for moving. Yes, I'm moving. They're building this new village/subdivision about a mile away from where I live, and it's amazingly nice. The three bedroom with stainless-steel appliances and brand new bathrooms it only $1600/month. Compared to our 35 year old, trashy house that we pay $1850/month for, this is awesome! Our neighborhood we have now has only four families with kids including me. One families' kids are 5 year olds and another has a sister a year younger than me and a brother a year older. The other family has a two boys with the same situation. Ones in seventh and the other's in sixth, like me, though because he started kindergarten a year early. He's getting really annoying so I'm glad we can finally (hopefully) move out. And it's all thanks to me for finding the subdivision.
