Third Time's The Charm
I've said it before. Twice. This time, I waited until the job actually started, and papers have been signed. I think.
Are you ready? We are moving. To Virginia.
Virginia, this is your last chance, do you hear? If it doesn't work this time, I'm giving up.
We like Michigan. We really do. However, the whole lack of a job bit gets old. Ironically, when Jeff applied for this job, it was in Texas - not only Texas, but just up the street from where we used to live. But that turned out to be incorrect, and the job is really in Virginia. Where we kept trying to move to, and failing. Go figure. I guess the trick was to not try to move to Virginia? (By the say, I'm also not trying to move to London.)
This will be the first place we've lived where, as homeschoolers, we will have to report to the government.

Meanwhile, the younger children ...
... are teaching themselves to read via playing Munchkin.
It will be interesting to see the differences between them, and the children who learned via Calvin and Hobbes.

If you want your children to do any schoolwork ...
Don't hand them Orson Scott Card novels. I don't think I've seen my older children since Sunday, when I handed them "Speaker for the Dead" and "Ender's Shadow."
