today is not so good

UGA libraries is unwilling to do a phone interview. So if I want to even try to get this job, we will have to get down there, again, soon. Have I mentioned it is a 6 hour drive and we have small children? I don't do this for fun, people.

Worse, mr. flea is throwing cold water on the house thing. His sister called last night to tell him that she and his parents had discussed things and wanted to let him know that they were concerned that this was too expensive for us. So he ran some numbers (NOW he chooses to run some numbers?) and thinks it will be tight on his salary alone. But, he didn't consider my salary, and he did include child care for Dillo, and if I'm not working, we won't need child care. (Psychiatric care, yes, but not child care). Also, he is paranoid that the sellers are hiding something about the foundation. He admits it is sort of paranoia, but can't let it go. (We are, of course, planning an inspection.)

I was pretty happy for an hour yesterday, in a sort of "oh my god, we're actually going to have nice things" sort of way.

Today I have a headache and am contemplating various escapist fantasies.

sooo, we're going to Georgia again

The plan is to leave from work tomorrow, drive down, hoping the kids sleep for the tail end of it, get a hotel room, get up in the morning and do the inspection at 9am, my interview at 1:30pm, and drive back to NC when that is done.

Thank god the kids are fairly patient in the car. On the last drive, only the last hour of so was touch-and-go, and this time the kids may be asleep for that part.
