Friday Poll

Do you wish you lived in another part of the country/world? Or do you like it just fine where you are?

I have lived in a lot of different parts of the country and I always find that I like where ever I end up. I don't wish that I lived in a different spot because I am not a huge fan of moving unless something makes me do it.

I wouldn't mind living in parts of the caribbean - but really it doesn't get better than living here in America. I don't care what anyone says this country is the best. Where can you find a country where you come here with nothing and end up with a lil something-something with a bit of hard work. This country ROCKS!

I love traveling to other countries, tho.

Okay now that was a mouthful wasn't it. You probably didn't need my rambling on - heheheh!

For universal health care... I wish I lived in Spain again. After 25 years of not having to worry about being able to afford excellent health care, I find the system here ridiculously expensive, (and no, I did not pay higher taxes there, if anything they were lower.), inefficient, etc., etc. If public education is a birthright, then public health should also be in that category.

For "mind set" and free-thinking I also really prefer Europe or at least another part of the U.S. that is not in the bible belt. But for the hispanic connection, I am better off here. Or possibly where you live, though the cost of living scares me a little, lol.

I have lived in the same area (within 30 miles) since I was born. I don't like change. BUT, in the right situation, I'd probably consider a change of scenery.

I've lived all over as well, but I love where I live now and can't imagine moving again.

Yes! Oh GOD, YEEES! I hate L.A. But aside from that, no matter where I live currently, I would rather live in Europe. More vacation days, better healthcare, more benefits to working parents, better schools ... PLUS. It. Is. EUROPE (prolly somewhere in the English Isles)...oh, I could go on and on ...

I love where I live now for a list of reasons a mile long. I love to travel, but home is best.

However, when kids are gone, there is another place that really calls to me where I plan to move when we retire (hubby can come with if he wants, lol) because for another list of reasons, that's where I want to finish my days.

After hearing about the care a friend received when she had her two kids in Switzerland, I would have liked to live there while pregnant. But mostly, unless a hurricane hits, I like where we are.

Our current location is okay, but I would rather live closer to family. We're here all by ourselves.

Gina (waving wildly) Hi!!! I'm sorry I haven't visited in a while. I took a blogging break and now I'm finally back, I think :) I am still trying to get through all my backlog of bloglines, but I'm getting there.

My new blog is public too so that is much better than having a private one. If you get a chance, check out my new blog:

www.mylifeinpictures4u.blogspot.com

On to your post. Well, I do like living where I do (in North Texas) but I think I would REALLY like to live near Colorado - or near the mountains. I hate really cold weather though, so I guess I would only like it in the summer! I would just love to live close to someplace like Glacier National Park (where we just went on vacation) so I could spend weekends hiking, traveling, taking pictures, etc. It seems like where I live, it takes a long time to get to anyplace "good"!

Have a great rest of the weekend.

In a way, both. I've been having a lot of weird feelings about this the last couple of weeks.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
