Let's Not Add Too Much to the Mix

We have been in the process of trying to move into a better school district so that we no longer have to pay three private school tuitions, which is more than we can handle. We had hoped that we would have moved by now, but we experienced some setbacks and delays due to some circumstances beyond our control. So now the beginning of school is staring us in the face, and I was in a panic, but we have decided that to try to move out of our house and into another by September the 8th is not realistic. We weighed the rent option but we keep coming back to selling and buying because of some financial considerations and job issues.

Actually, this is probably better that Caroline won't be having to adjust right away to not only being in school again, and being a part of our family again, but also a new house and neighborhood. One thing at a time. If we are here for the fall, I will homeschool my two youngest until we move. My oldest will stay at the public high school she was, and we will just see what buyers come our way. My husband has been working hard for two weeks on little repairs, painting, and on sprucing up our landscaping, so at least we've made a good start. I am glad that we can do this in a less-stressed out manner. Also, the housing prices may come back up this fall which would be helpful.

So Caroline will get to come home to her too-small bedroom, but only for a short period of time we hope. She'll probably just be glad to be home.
