hello world

so i know the last time i wrote it was kinda a cliff hanger and im sorry too all the four people that read this:) ( thank you loyal readers) I havn't written again because as some of you know on that subject there is nothing new to talk about. The potential buyer has yet to contact us so we do not have to make a decision yet. as for the rest of my life it is like a typsy turvy. We are in the process of looking for a place to live. we have looked at a few rental houses and have found a few potentials. We are waiting to here from a the ABC board on a potential job for Tommy that would bring him closer to home and more money. So just a whole lot of up in the airs. So I will write again soon with the outcomes:) sorry not a great post I know

so...

i know it has been awhile since i have written and im sorry. There have been a few day that I have started to write but after pouring way too much personal crap out to the world I have erased it all.

So today I got an email that provoked some though and emotions that I felt I could share. The email was from the previous owner of Ever After. She stated that she had a friend approach her about possibly buying Ever After. She was wondering if I was interested in talking with them and possibly selling. The reason she asks is that she still holds the loan we have for the business. At the time of purchase two and half years ago We were not able to get funding from the banks so the agreed to owner finance. We have still been unable to get funding else were so they still hold the loan. While this is great for us this is not as good for them since they are wanting a lump some and want to be out from under all of it. So when her friend approached im sure she thought this would be the best way to handle this. We could sell and make a small profit and they would have there lump sum pymt and no longer have to worry about it.

So where does that leave me? Im really not sure. I dont think that I want to sell the business. Yes it has been a hard stressful two years running it and some days I wish I could do anything else....but on the other hand I love it. I set my own hours and answer to no one. I am able to raise my child and still bring home a decent living. I do not feel that I would be able to find anything that would pay well enough to sustain us and put Cadence in full time care. On the other hand depending on the offer from the buyers we could be looking at enough money to pay off all of our credit cards and possibly put down a down pymt on the house. Needless to say this email has put me on an emotional roller coaster this afternoon and Im still not sure of what I want. Do I go with the quick fix and figure out my next step or do I go with the longer harder road that should pay out in the end?
