Ok...so as I have stated in my earlier blogs I am a Navy wife and being a Navy wife it means we move...a LOT. My husband recently left to Japan and I am still contemplating going with but I am not leaving any time soon. If we do go it will not be until next holiday season because that is when he will actually be in port long enough to help us get over there get housing get a car and get the kids into school. I moved to Germany by myself with 1 baby and pregnant with a 2nd not really willing to do that again....
So, now I am a single full time working mommy, well not really single but doing it alone, and my kids attend a private school about 40 minutes away and on the way I pass my work and think if only they went to school closer I would not have to drive by you right now and deal with all this crazy traffic. So we leave our house at 7 every morning and come home at 7 every night. Most of the time I get to spend with them is in the car. I don't get much time to sit and help with homework or play around. Then I find that there is a private school...same branch as the church/school that we/they attend like 2 minutes from my work. YAY! But here is the hard part...my son is in 4th grade and he has already been to like 5 schools...do I really want to move him again? And then if we go to Japan he is going to have to start another school!! That really sucks!! I am a Navy brat and I was in like 8 different elementary schools and it sucked! But at the same time we will only have 10 minute commute in the mornings and we will have more time to be with each other....suggestions??

oh man, that is a tough one there! Can't give any advice cause I am a stay put kinda gal. I know it has to be a hard decision. I suppose if you would have to be gone for a couple years then moving makes sense but if less than that then mayve staying would be best. Whatever you do decide I certainly wish you well and I am sure you will know what is best. No help huh? Have a great afternoon and keep us posted on what you decide.
wait wait wait... set in stone with no japan... or will change ur mind over and over until summer?
Change schools miss tosha. U will be out of the car for over an hour extra everyday... even the boys will appreciate that.
yeah yeah...I don't want to go to Japan...but then again...maybe I do?? You know me all wishy washy...don't want to move...like my job...like my little townhouse...sigh.
i say umm... wait for it... umm NO.
I think you should. The school you told me about it closer to work and to my apartment. Just in case if you need me to pick them up. So I don't get lost and go over curves. If you need my help let me know. So, just do it. Stop thinking about it because the more you think about it the more stress you bring upon yourself.
