Where?

I talked to my boss about movement within the company. Here is what I got...

1 year in a po'dunk town in Iowa (for pretty damn good money) and then off to one of the following three locations:

Madison, Wisconsin
Indianapolis, Indiana
St. Louis, Mo

The promotion to any of these three locations would be a really really good one. The one to the po'dunk town in Iowa is sort of a "paying your dues" type of thing. But what is really getting me is that to move would mean that I would be leaving my kids with their dad. I was crying on the way  home from work just imagining it.

I spoke with the kids' father, we spoke in depth about all types of situations and ways to solve the problem. I just can't imagine being without them full time. He reminds me they are not young children anymore and that this is an economy where we can't be too choosy. This is a great opportunity and could lead to some real security. But in the end he says he too will be looking for a new job. Not just for mine and the kids sake but for his as well. Turns out he is not very happy with his job and thinks he will have to move to satisfy his income desires.

This little drama has only begun...
