yeah, we're going to stay with my mother. with eleo's eventual absence, paul's returning to look for a job, and my mother's forced retirement, we've decided to go and hang with my mother. this will give us the financial break we need to pay down some of our debt, and save for a house. this also keeps us from having to put adolfo in daycare.

yes, it is far away, but i'll just have to live with it at this point; and i'm content to. it'll be nice to be around family, have a washing machine in the house (a REAL one - you know, the kind your mother uses), and a backyard adolfo can run around in.
