The Big Announcement

The kids have been told and work has been given notice, so it is now safe to make it public that we will be moving...again. Hubby has taken a job with VW in Chattanooga and he's very excited about it. He starts work in a couple of weeks but the kids and I stay here until the end of the school year. It's only a little over an hour away, so he will be home on the weekends.

I know most of you are shaking your heads thinking, 'Not again!' But there are others of you out there who know how much I have not enjoyed living in Alabama and how happy I will be to move on.

The kids' reactions. S doesn't really care. She will be somewhere else next year, so it doesn't affect her. She will be an Alabama resident if she chooses a state school, as long as she never takes more than a year off. Mr. C wasn't too excited one way or the other. He just wanted to make sure he would still be going to Space Camp in May with his class, and we assured him he is. M is the one who broke down. Not surprising, since she's half-way through high school. She pulled it together pretty quickly. It helps that one of her best friends is moving to Florida next summer, so she's not the only one leaving.

Sorry if you thought my big announcement would be more earth shattering, like a true and lasting Middle East peace treaty.
