I admit that I am not too keen on living in Arkansas. I don’t hate it, I’m not miserable, but I can’t say this is where I want to spend the rest of my life either. Do I want to move? Not yet. I am in an OK place mentally and work-wise, and with my kids happy where they are, why is he pushing it?
Every year around the same time the spouse begins his “Let’s move” initiative. Need I remind you that we are in Arkansas because he needed to move back by his mom? I didn’t choose to move here, but since day one it seems like he is constantly wanting to go. Well, I told him to go if he wants. I am not keeping him here. With all of the past year and a half rolled up, I would not think any less of him if he did move.
“Do what’s right for you,” is what spilled from my mouth.
“I want you and the kids to come with me.”
Basically, that was the conversation all weekend long. He needs to understand that our sepearation has helped me realize that our children come first, not him. Moving is what he wants, again for selfish reasons that have nothing to do with family. I was done with that a year and a half ago, why on earth would I bring that back into my life?
Just another one of those complaints that leave me asking myself when he will get the point? We separated - it’s not about him anymore.

I am in my new house, still unpacking, getting ready for Thanksgiving, which I apparently will be cooking for, my internet is down, so I have to do everything at work that needs internet access - like writing this… shhhh! And I am going mad living in the middle of no where.
Well, not really no where. I am about 10 minutes from civilization, but I also live at the top of a windy, dark, woodsy road that I don’t feel like driving after dark :) Since I’m not driving anywhere and I have no internet working my laundry is caught up and the dishes are clean and I get to bed before 11 PM because I am bored. So many positives I guess.
The only downfall of moving is that I still have go to go back to my duplex, clean it, and get it ready for a tenant. I hate cleaning :) I am so ready for a vacation. Where is my warm island!?

Moving on up… to the mountains! Yep, it is true, I am moving 10 miles from my current house to the mountains (ant hills) of Northwest Arkansas. Why you might ask? Although the commute will suck going to work, it is cheaper, quieter, cheaper, more relaxing, and did I mention cheaper? Yes, I am cheap right now, but with school loans about to bombard me to pay, I figure why the hell not!
So I am moving to a big house - out from under my duplex - that the kiddos love and we will spend the holidays in a bit of a happier mood. Now, I just need to pack by tomorrow and I am good to go. Nothing like being last minute. That is me, what can I say. 
Anyone want to rent a duplex?
