moving stress

so I'm starting to get really frustrated about this whole move. don't get me wrong, I'm thankful every day to have a job. I just don't enjoy change as much as some around me. not to mention, according to my daughter's counselor, her having moved 5 times already in her 5yrs of life, may b the reason for some of her confusions. but this time it's better cuz it's my jobs fault. lol.

so, I've learned, now that she's in school, there are a few things to consider when moving with kids. the school district is important, even for kindergarten. urbana, u really dont have a choice cuz it's based on where u live. yesterday I learned that champaign has a sort of lottery system that i'll have to get a lil more info on. her current teacher told me she would benefit from a 'very structured' kindergarten class but was unable to tell me which school in the urbana district offered that. not like it matters. unfortunately my budget will decide where we will live. good thing I have an I.D with my moms address on it just in case.

and is that wrong? is it wrong to lie about where u live in order to have your child go to the school of your choice? I currently live in rantoul and my child goes to an urbana school. not afraid to broadcast that because school is almost over and we're moving back anyway. but I couldn't put her in rantoul school since I work in champaign. pre-school is only a few hours long and I can't afford the childcare in rantoul. plus it's not like we're in a big city where parents are fighting to get their kids into certain schools.... at least, I don't think that happens here.

and then i get denied due to stupid reasons. well, i think they are stupid reasons. lol. i mean seriously, what does my credit history have to do with me paying my rent? just because i have a cable bill in collections does not mean i will not be a good tenant. that just means that i may have sacrificed having that luxury in order to make sure i was able to pay my rent. lol. i've never been evicted. i've been with the same landlord for 3 years. yes, i've lived in 3 different units, but, every move was for a good reason. do i expect them to give me a GREAT reference? no, i honestly dont. but i do expect them to be honest. and i expect the person i'm trying to rent from to take into consideration that although i may not pay on time, i pay. as a single mother that does not qualify for financial assistance for ANYTHING, i still pay. i have been at my job for almost 4 years and have a strong work history that dates back to age 15. i dont feel like i have to lie about who my landlord is, and my hardships just to be accepted on a damn rental application.

so there is my vent for the day and the reason as to why i put on my facebook status, that i'll start lying just to get what i need. telling the truth just isn't getting me anywhere with this move.

thanks for listening and once again, no pity. just a vent. i still am very optimistic that something will pop up. i now feel better and hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :)
