Beginning on Tuesday, my family will be traveling. The three elves will stay with my sister, mother, and extended family at my sister's house in Mississippi. Phill and I will be in New Orleans.
You might think that we will be there for some time away from the children, which wouldn't be completely wrong. While we will take advantage of having very loving and capable people caring for our brood, we will be interviewing for a job for the better part of three days. Phill's job--not mine.
Why am I writing this here and not on my personal blog? Phill and I have agreed not to blog about our possible move and reasons for that. Suffice it to say that I trust all of you.
What do the kids think of a possible move to The Big Easy? Inwe would like the proximity to family as would Larien. Finwe? Well, he's just along for the ride currently.
Do we consider this lightly? Absolutely not. I must investigate the resources for me as a mother with three small children in a recovery region. Not only that, the place is sinking. (The link is to a 2006 article, but if you pick up a current copy of National Geographic, read the story about New Orleans.) I do need to make the visit with an open mind as this job would be a huge step up the ladder for Phill. Also, this would probably not be a permanent place for us. We both see us moving to another place, wherever that might be, in seven or ten years.
I know that not many of you comment here, and I understand that. However, if you have a thought you'd like to share, please do. Or email me (hpsarabeth@gmail.com). Just don't mention this on my other blog.
