Update

Well, Todd has an "interview" for the job in Tallahassee. I put in quotes b/c it is not your average job interview. The owner of the business wants Todd to come and work with him for a week. At the end of the week, he will evaluate whether or not Todd is a good fit for the company and position. He says either way he will pay Todd for the week. It is unorthodox for sure but better than him offering Todd the job after a traditional interview and then finding out it is not a good fit (after we move all the way up there).

The whole thing is rather stressful, as I am sure you can imagine. It will hard on me to be "single" parent for a whole week...dropping Kate at school, going to work, picking her up, and then the whole evening routine alone. After all that I am usually exhausted but will still have school work to do. Plus weird for Todd sleeping alone in a hotel all week, wondering if he will get the job or maybe if he even wants the job.

Moving has pros and cons. Too many to list tonight - will cross that bridge if and when we come to it. The thought of getting out of the Tampa Bay (overcrowded) area is appealing but would definitely miss all the friends I've made here. Hate to pull Kate out mid-school year too - she just loves her teachers and friends. It is tough - love the people (mostly) but hate the area - too much stuff and too damn hot. We are really looking for a simpler life.

Other stuff - I am feeling much better and Kate is still well too. We are using a sticker chart to attempt to control her behavior at bath/bedtime. It is showing some success. Have a lot of school work between now and Sunday night - plus my crazy two weeks of the month start at work on Monday.
