Crazy New England weather.. Still leaning towards Florida..

For two days prior to today we got some snow and freezing rain. Today it was over 50 degrees with a little rain early and all the snow is gone. That just seems to be how it is here. Here we are in December and we can't seem to get snow that stays. It's 45 degrees right now and that seems a bit warm for an early to mid December evening. After that long post about our past mistakes and what the choices are for us I'm still leaning towards moving to Florida when we can. This may not be for a few months (depending on the tax check we get) or longer, but it's what I really would like to do. When I went to show my Mom what my Uncle was all upset about (this page) she caught a glimpse of me talking about moving to Florida. I hadn't mentioned it because it's not a sure thing yet. Obviously a lot of things have to go just right to make it possible. I told her how we felt and that nothing was final yet. If Deb had a job there and we had a way for the baby to be watched (me at home, friends or family) while Deb worked I would move as soon as we got the money (taxes). I don't know if any of this is possible yet. The big thing for me is for Deb and I both to live a normal life. She never gets out of the house and I think she'd be able to do that in Florida. I really don't think this is how my wife wants to live forever. I'm not putting down full time Moms, but Deb doesn't even have space with which to raise Alexandra. A lot of things aren't as they should be and we're grasping at every idea out there to find a way back to a normal life. What's normal? More than a room or two to live in, a working washer and dryer, living space that is safe, and a reasonable living temperature. I don't think these things are too much to ask for, but they're proving hard to manage right now. Until tomorrow.. --------
