Geez, SheFly, I didn't realize you had moved so much! And that story made me laugh, although I am sure your dad wasn't laughing. How did you survive moving every year as a kid? One move out of state almost killed me and I didn't talk to my dad for a long time. But, all my other moves were very planned. Still, when I talk to people around here, I always feel like I've moved a lot, compared to others.
Once, we were in a meeting for my older son, when he was in high school. They were going through his developmental history and the way they stated, "and then the family moved again," like we were some kind of transients! Yes, I moved here from another state and then we lived in one town until we could afford to move again to put the kids in your highly rated school system...
