I am processing a lot of stuff right now, and the song that's helping me through is this one:

I have had it on repeat for two days now!

Tooth has stopped hurting. I must not use this as an excuse to put off the dentists though. I really don't want to go. I don't need another 2 weeks of pain, drugs, and unwellness. Not right now. Eating has

Frustratingly so

But, but, but! You can't move before _we_ get that happening?!

Hahahahaha yeah but it's going to take us months and months (possibly even a year) to get this house approachable. I don't think you have anything to worry about!

Big stuff. Glad that writing it down is helping clarify things. Moving is huge but can have payoffs. All the best with decision making!

Sarah I don't know all the whats and whys and wherefores you are going through, but here is some info that might be of use

My mum is a teacher. While we were in primary school she worked 3 days a week, and was able to meet us after school. Sometimes she did casual work on the other two days if needed. Her working hours were about 8am (she dropped us on the way to work) til 3pm and she met us at school rather than at home.

I think that was around 20 hours per week for her on average, and I don't feel that I missed anything by her working (can't speak for my brothers but they never showed any signs of it). A lot of jobs have flexible work hours now so you might be able to come to a similar arrangement, or work from home sometimes - one of my colleagues does 2 days a week and also in school holidays.

Perhaps you can find work at a school or somewhere that is friendly to school terms? Just a thought :)

Why are you thinking of moving? Is it something you could change in the house itself?

[callistra]

Not really, or else I would have suggested that!
