Even the best made plans CRASH

GRRRRR AAAAHHHHH bleepinn bleep bleep!
Ok so if you could not tell I am VERY angry, but trying hard to get over it...
Lets start at the beginning of your travels.  IT took a bit longer than I expected... I had more stuff than I thought, so things got left behind..and we were still smashed in the van and the trailer was full, well sort of.. I do not know why Joe did not stack things as I suggested, meaning double stack the totes I packed.. then everything I needed would be here!

SOOO the property I was so excited about, the one I had researched and knew of several people who had purchased their property through the same company... WHAT A LIE!
 was supposed to be able to access my property by car. NOT  They showed a photo of a mall sink hole type area with garbage in it.. If only that were the case! TRY a HUGE GULLY with long trenches and drop offs full of trash!
ALSO we were supposed to be able to swap equity if we did not like the property, meaning we could switch our land and continue payments thus owning a different piece of land... WRONG the guy was a jerk! refused to allow us to trade, refused to reimburse us, refused to hold our deposit until another property became listed.. this is just the top of this battle! I am going to the BBB and getting a lawyer..

NOW back to the nitty gritty..
We had planned for a cabin on our land, but since we could not get to the land, NO cabin

so we had two choices try to camp, in below freezing or pay for a hotel until our money ran out..
we came prepared mostly to camp so that was our goal. WE received a phone call from our church and they were upset we were considering camping and asked to meet with us.. SO off we went to meet them..
Now I do  not want people to get the wrong impression of my church, but the people I met were RUDE! accused me of not needing a nice house and implied we were careless and did not plan well enough and such... needless to say this pissed me off and I  said as much.. They sent us down the road to the next Church building. 
SOOO these people are seemingly nicer. There is a member who has rentals and one just happened to be open.. and said we were welcome.. I was afraid we would have to take our pets to the shelter, and was upset, but he is an animal lover and was fine..

The HOUSE IS NASTY DIRTY.. or at least it was.. just to point out the main gross me out points.. cockroach bodies, layers of dirt and grease on floor in kitchen. nasty stains in bathroom..

I could go on and on, but I will not because a wonderful sister and her children came and helped me get the place into shape! Much better and livable now..
We have had donations of beds and new pillows, got the kids enrolled in school, which they seem to like.
So the next thing was off to Joes job.. OH ya the run around to find out they filled his job the Friday before even after knowing we would be here Monday!
so job hunting and trying to adjust in a place I did not expect,  just trying to make it home..
Guess I am still looking for home.....
