Hi Rob, It is great news. I got in touch with the better magnet school today and it looks like I shouldn't have any trouble in matriculating him there. Once this year is over, he'll join his mom for a year abroad (which I think is an amazing opportunity) and then be with me until college...and that will just be tremendous. I lived alone with my father during that time of my life - and it was horrible for me - as he was going through a lot of pain himself then - and so I hope that I'll be able to recognize how to be there for my sons in a way that my father just couldn't be for me, my brother and my sister (I'm the youngest of three).
My mom is here now - and she seemed determined to fight off sleep - which I thought was very cute - though I had to insist that she go to bed, given that she's still on Ohio time and it's already 10:30pm here.
She sounds excited about helping me pack up the kids rooms and the kitchen. I've already said that I'm going to take care of the rest of the study...still have a lot of books in there...
I'm looking forward to tomorrow...that's kind of a cool feeling...as I don't think I've said that in a long time - especially when it's not a day before seeing my kids first thing in the morning or something like that.
Today I took care of transferring all the necessities - power, gas, Internet, phone, etc...made me happy to do it...which was nice.
The closer I get to it, the more I look forward to moving out of this house.
