It's not what you know, but who.
Who knew that statement would be so telling? The hubby had 2 job interviews with a company at home and now we're waiting for word. This is driving me nuts! My wish to relocate goes back and forth. It's a new start on the one hand, on the other a complete change for my kids. Mostly good for them as its close to tons of family and friends but I worry about starting over with them. I worry about losing control and not being able to keep an eye on them as I'm able to do here. Small community and very little places to go equals less opportunity to get into trouble. My Hubby says that I shouldn't worry as we raised them right but hey I'm a Mom, its what I do. He really wants this job as its more money and a complete lifestyle change for us. NO MORE MONEY WORRIES! But I'm still unsure. I guess we'll see what's in the cards for us huh? No telling what the future might hold.

We finally got some cold Canadian weather up in these parts. -22 today with the windchill. Do people in the States even know what windchill is? Sometimes I wish I didn't! The woodstove is blaring and its nice and comfy in the livingroom. The boys complain though because they have to haul in and stack the wood. Which translates to a big ole mess on the hearth. They hate lugging that stuff in. Poor boys! But they do it and rarely complain. When we got up this morning I told them all that we'd have to put on our winter coats and hats and scarves. This was met with different reactions from all of them. Madi (5 yr old) didn't really complain, she loves an excuse to wear her snow pants and fly down the slide at school. Jessi (teenager with attitude) put on her coat no complaints. Christopher and Jordan, well they layered. After arguing for a few minutes I gave up and let them go. Hardly worth the fight I assure you. I never knew how telling that whole "pick your battles" thing would be. I just hope that letting them get away with it today will lessen the fight tomorrow. Probably not but it was worth a shot right? Hey I never claimed to be the perfect parent! Far from it.

Anyway I'd better scoot for now. My little Sarah is sleeping on the couch and I want to get some laundry done. Have a good one! :)

I just surfed in... but I'm excited for you! I would move in a heartbeat for more money and better position for my husband.

Oh, wait, but I want to move anyway! LOL. (My kids LOVE where we live though, so I'm probably out of luck).

LOL.
