I just realized how open my life is right now. I have never in my life gotten to make a huge decision about anything completely on my own--no compromises, no discussion, no concessions. If I want to move, there is no one to answer to. Scary and free at the same time.
My friend who I get to visit often moves every year or two. She hates it, but does it when she gets sick of the landlord, or she wants to be closer to work, etc. We often tease her about how often we have had to cross off something in our address book! But I never really thought about it.
This was never my dream house. It is a good house, don't get me wrong. But you can hear the highway from here. It is a standard ranch, when I always loved romantic Victorians with the wrap-around porch. Might be nice to be able to walk into town. The kids are older and need the yard less...
what would I do about the in-laws? They really are a big support system right now, not only for me emotionally (although I am pulling back on that hard to something more appropriate), but with childcare, too.
I would have to learn what to do about the CO's and permits. And get a contractor in to finish all the half-done work. Lay out who knows what and hope that I can make it back
