Is it March 3rd already?  How did that happen?

We’re finally starting to recover here, although we’ve still all got a nagging, hacking cough and we get tired pretty easy.  I’m fairly certain that this was the dreaded flu and while there’s no way to tell without the blood test, which I’m not paying for, I think we survived it pretty well. I do have to say that this is the longest we’ve ever  been sick except for the salmonella/chicken pox/ debacle of ’07.  Have you been hanging around here long enough to remember that?  *shiver*  This wasn’t that bad, but it wasn’t exactly fun either.

In the midst of the sickness we had to get ready for a major shift in our household.  Jim got an opportunity to work for a company out of state and we decided that in this economy, it wasn’t something we could turn down.  So while we were down with the flu, my husband was getting ready for a cross country move – he’s out there right now (I can’t speak too much about it), trying it on for size and if they’re a good fit, we’re going to be a two household family with us here in Florida and my husband in the deserts of Arizona.   This is not the first time my husband has gone on the road and quite honestly, the last time he did, the children were much smaller – this time should prove a whole lot easier.  I’m a self-sufficient kind of girl who can roll with the punches, so whatever’s good for the family,  you know?

The kids don’t really remember a lot of Jim being on the road last time, but with the 80 hour work weeks he was already throwing down with and the fact that everyone is Facebook/Twitter/Blog/IM/Skype connected, it shouldn’t be too bad.  A major upside is that we’ll get to travel to Arizona for visits!  I’ve never been off the east coast of the US, so I’m looking forward with more than a little wanderlust.
