My husbands' company closed its 'global headquarters', here in NJ. A few people got to relocate to Greensboro,NC and my honey was one of them. He's the 'global Risk Manager' warrior.
The honey and the kids are in Greensboro, NC, as we speak, to see the new school and some houses. I am having a quiet night at home - super clean home, because we had a realtors' open house today. I will have a 24 hour period of quiet and calm.
My daughter shed tears, as we told her the news. She is now sharing the news with her friends and the people at her present school. My little honey tried to find my honey a job in NYC, by looking for a job on the internet. You see how your children deal with stress, when you make them deal with it.
The little honey said he would write, "This house stinks" on the sheet describing our house (the realtors' description of the house). He then said he'd, "draw fire coming out of our house" - on all the sheets).
My teenager tells me that, "Everything is okay" - I don't like that - I don't trust that.
We'll see ... I think I'm still in denial because I really like my area and neighborhood. At this exact moment, what is important is to sell this house and not have to worry about keeping it clean all the time.
Right now I'm into watching, "Weeds". WOW... loving it! Watch it, it's great!
See y'all... ;)
Thanks for coming on board Floppy. Stay tuned for our adventure in the South!

Well, I hope everything will go well for you guys. I can imagine that it must be tough on the kids, espacially after having been back stateside for less than a year. Have you guys ever been to this area before? First impressions?
