I keep swinging back and forth between excited about moving to Ohio and terrified about moving to Ohio.
Mainly, it's lousy timing. His Report No Later Than (or else!) date is May 21. Which is also Sean's birthday. And two days before Ian gets out of school. Uh oh.
It sounds as if they will try to move him out in time for him to do his permissive house hunting leave before orientation on 5/22. Nice of them, actually, because there's not much time to do anything when you're in short term classes.
5/21 - 10 days of permissive TDY - 3 days travel time = 5/8.
I really don't want to pull Ian out of school that early. I don't know if the school district we're going to (wherever it is) has a summer program for Ian. I don't know if we'd be able to hook him up with the district early enough to get him into a program if it does exist. I don't want him to miss two weeks of therapy time if I can't get him any other services until the fall. Besides, he's been with these teachers two years. I hate to say I want him to have closure, because that sounds so pop culture, but I would like him to get to the natural end of the class.
Problem being: I don't have anywhere to LIVE after Matt outproccesses from the base. There are temporary living units designed for this kind of thing, but it's not cheap.
My mom thinks I'm crazy. I just think that they will have enough "convenient for the Air Force" in their lives. I don't want to make things difficult for them to be convenient for me.
Sean won't care that we celebrate his birthday a different day. He'll be in school on his birthday, so I can send pizza and cake and he'll be delighted.
Bad timing, but we'll work it out. I have no doubt of that. I just wish it was a little easier.
