Susanna,
We have had a meeting. Everyone is for it. However, we did decide that Crystal has two years of high school left, she could live with her grandma and finish school here. I told her she had to come home on the weekend though. That would be the only way I would do it. She would head for home at 12:30pm Friday afternoon and go back to school Monday morning. She would only be away from home for three nights, except during basketball season. Then she would only be home a couple of nights each week, and we would have to go to all of her games possible. We may have her leave her car at grandma's and Craig bring her back and forth on Monday's and Friday's, since his job is here anyway. It would be less gas, and at the price of gas these days. However, she has an economical car. She drives a Mitsubishi Eclipse. It gets good mileage.
Craig and I never make job changes without the girls having their say in it. So many times it affects how much time we get to spend with them. I used to work swing shift at a job, but before I took it, I let the family help decide. They needed to understand that I worked until late at night and they would be on their own for dinner, homework, and laundry they might need done the next day. They were all okay with hit and did well. But, they do like to know that their voice counts in our family. I expressed to the girls that their happiness at school is very important to us and that would make a difference.
Oh well, we have time to figure out the details. God will help us with this.
'til later,
Nikki
