Christmas was... Christmas, joy, food, gifts, happiness all around. But now, now is my favorite time... clean up. Oh how I love getting rid of crap I mean stuff. Walking into a clean closet, where everything has its' own place I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT. We have thrown or given away a huge portion of stuff, it is great. Now to keep it that way:)

On to the rest of the year, and the one thing that occupies my mind, way way too much. MOVING. There are so many decisions and plans to make, my head is spinning. So here is where we are now. Our plan was to stay here until my husband was done with his school next Dec. BUT... we learned a few weeks ago that Cotton's teacher ( the pin that holds the whole wheel together) is moving..... BWWAAAAHAHA. So, we can still stay, but the whole point is to not deal with change after change after change. I have been happy with the school here, but I don't trust them to choose a good replacement. It was sheer divine intervention, that we have had Mrs. C while we have been here.

Soooo we are moving to an area that was destroyed by Katrina ( you know the hurricane). Our options are

a) live in a suburb with good schools (rumor, but probably true), but expensive housing. Or

b) live on brand new base housing with not so great schools. BUT... the schools in the suburb, are overcrowded because of housing issues, and the ones on base have very low numbers again because of housing issues. I really don't want to change another school district, but I can if I have to. The agony of it all. I know I don't have to make a decision right now, but I want a plan.( I know I am whining.) The most important thing, is to get Cotton in a good school, the other boys can always go to private school, I just wish there was a clear sign that said "DO THIS" (Where is a good ABA therapist when you need one:)
