to terminate, perchance to be free

freedom is all relative i suppose. and free from what? i'm not quite sure.  but it sounded nifty, nonetheless.

since it's no secret anymore, i thought i'd finally tell everyone.  alabama is counting down the days until we leave it.  there's no set date.  there's no place to say we're going to.  but the decision to leave has finally been made final.  am i talking in circles?  sure feels like it.  it was made final a couple months ago, but we tried to keep it internal until the practice knew.  doc macgyver let them know that he didn't intend on staying permanently and their response was to give him his 90 day notice.  oh well.  life never turns out how we expect, does it?  the job wasn't what was touted.  neither were the schools.  kids aren't happy.  doc's not happy.  time to move on.  i thought it was our duty to provide our kids with a stable, permanent place to be.  perhaps it's just not in the cards for us.  my perspective isn't really reliable.  God knows best.

i can't say i'll miss much of anything about 'bama except for the people i met.  oh wait.  and the weather.  the weather has been wonderful.

and i can't really say that i'm excited to be doing this whole job search/moving/packing/househunting/schoolhunting/wardhunting thing again. at all.  i must really be getting old.  i thought i had a deep love of nomadic life.  wow. such laziness has overtaken me i guess.

the lean is towards TX or CA.  but we'll have to see.  when we find yet another new place to call home, i'll let all 3 of you who read this blog know.

i do have sugarplum dreams of one day being in a house that i own and having a smashing, fabulous, haunted, wretched halloween party full of fancy costumes and food and decorations and scariness!!!  i thought it would be oct 31, 2011.  but looks like not.  oh well.  someday.  will someone please petition to calendar companies to put someday on the calendar??
