Last year, I became a single mother with three kids, renting an upstairs apartment from my boss. That situation would never work out long-term because of having downstairs neighbors, but renting from him was all I could afford, and really, it was all that was available in this area. I stayed on top of everything I needed to do, and the next thing I knew, I was approved, and started building a house – my house.
Building is also the hardest part. Working full-time, so that I can keep up with the kids, bills and life, caring for my three kids and pets, and keeping up with their school, birthdays and holidays, and then building on my day off and one day after work – it’s all a lot.
