Those sound like a lot of pros to me, Glam!!

Oh sure, you just want them closer! But yeah, it does sound really good.

My poor MIL had to travel all around the world with DH and his 3 siblings when they were little. FIL was in the Air Force and she was always stuck doing the pack up, move, 4 kids in tow, unpack and settle in thing all by herself.

But the pot was there, and the egg was there, so I boiled it.

There's something about a troll there.

GC, we should talk if you leave. I would love to know where you live and how much your rent is.

Le Nubian, are you moving to LA?!?

It all worked out, happy to report. I'm going to take the rest of today to make sure I don't have a bug and then will catch the 9am ferry tomorrow morning to the island. Yay. Still have to burn one sick day, but that's fine.

feel better, Pix.

Glad to hear it, Pix!

You guys would love it up here! We're awesome! I know where we keep the cool consignment shops for kid stuff! (Including, for some reason, which one Dave Matthews shops at.)

I'm glad things will work out, Pix.

GC, that sounds exciting! The moving part would be difficult, but, as you said, you'll probably be moving sooner or later anyway. And at least this way there's be an exciting new job that might help out with the move.

GC, we should talk if you leave. I would love to know where you live and how much your rent is.

Ooooh! Most definitely!

Glad you're feeling better, Pix.

Plei, I will def be picking your brain should this come to pass.

It sounds like a no-brainer if you get the job, Glam. Moving is never fun (if financially feasible, I strongly recommend hiring a good moving company), and I'm sure two small children won't help make it any easier, but what great opportunities. And I won't lie, the ability to have a real house is tempting even for someone as entrenched in SoCal as I've become. Best luck!
