Well, I tend to overanalyze and be very conscientious; sometimes to a fault but with my H being such an impulsive weenie, I have sort of been the voice of reason. I used to be much more spontaneous but I always felt that I could deal with the ramifications because it was my life. Now, my kids are involved and I feel responsible for making more thoughtful decisions.

I realize it isn't the end of the world but here's the deal. The kids school is far from where I live now. I don't love where I live now (have to move cuz the house is too expensive anyway). I don't love the school (a bunch of people are leaving) but it is an alternative arts school and the kids like it- it is moving further away to an area that I am not crazy about (smoggier and more urban) but the kids would be stressed to change schools now...but, better to make the switch now and put down roots somewhere.

The area I want to live in would be much more idyllic but further from extended family and from H (by about 30-45 minutes)...I know some people there but not well but it is a real community so I imagine we'd do alright.

So, I need to decided where we will move and the kids will have to change schools too...unless I move to an area I'm not crazy about to keep them in the school which is going through major upheaval...

This stuff stresses me out because it is about my kids' educations, lifestyle, friends, proximity to family etc.


Oh, and lastly, the place I want to move requires a stroke of luck to find a place and can be pricy.

So, I am looking everywhere and hoping something strikes me as "it"...

Welcome to my brain. crazy
