just when I think I know...

09/10 Plan A:
Stay. Take a break. Finish research and synthesis papers. Complete masters degree coursework. Be present for my children. Organize, repair and simplify my home environment. Collect unemployment. Experience heightened financial stress. Look for a job. Perhaps create a farm program starting with weekend retreats, growing into a summer camp program. Retain community support. Gather fresh eggs every morning. Kids in a pretty good school.


09/10 Plan B:
Move with the kids. Take a job for which I am not trained. Finish research and synthesis papers. Complete masters degree coursework. Organize, purge, pack and unpack my home environment within two weeks. Experience heightened work stress. Rebuild community support. Enjoy Lake Michigan daily. Deal with rent here and rent there. Kids in an outstanding school.

09/10 Plan C:
Move without the kids. Take a job for which I am not trained. Finish research and synthesis papers. Complete masters degree coursework. Live with C&J. Commute home on the weekends and school breaks to be with the kids. Experience heightened work stress. Enjoy Lake Michigan, gather eggs on the weekends. Kids in a pretty good school (would like to take Cameron with me for the middle school).
