I even miss the pool! My parents put one in the year after we moved there (I was 12) and all my k's learned to swim before they were 5yo! (They had to tho, the shallow part is 4ft!) There is a local pool here, but it always seems too crowded to go.

Ok, the day has helped boost my pma a little bit! Another phone interview that went well, and I sent a small check and letter to my credit card company and they cashed it. That didn't even dent the minimum payment due, but I'm hoping it takes the past due off my credit report. I will just keep working away at this debt and eventually I'll be clear.

The only thing that has really lowered the pma today is the fact I keep dropping everything I touch and then I almost threw away $40 tonight! I'm just going to leave the cleaning until tomorrow!

So Mich seems to be the most prominent place for my job search today. The positive side of going there is family, friends, and church being there. (I have some of that here, but closer ties to everyone there) The negative side of this is that I don't want to go back there w/any expectations of a new R. It might happen and it might not. Either way I want to make sure I am moving back to Michigan for myself and the boys. My oldest one does not want to move. (he only has one more year of h.s.) So I have to find the right job opportunity and let him know that it will be better this way.

The youngest s is doing ok. He likes routine and had lived in this same apt prior to the div. (Ex and I had picked out this area to live pre-bomb and I was able to keep the rent on this place current throughout the div) A change in living arrangements may disrupt him some and visitations may confuse him; but he needs some time w/dad. I just hope ex doesn't reject him again if we do get the choice to move closer. That would be hard.

Off to bed and back to the job hunting tomorrow. Oh, but I do hope to get some cleaning done tomorrow. I feel like I have just moved in again w/the truckload coming up!

PS. Ex did send me my helmet! Now I just have to learn to ride!
