SD wants to move out here...

A pit of dread just formed in my gut.

I'm not sure what's going to happen, when, or anything like that (or even if it WILL happen, last time it was a false alarm, so, this could just be the case).

GUBM is going to fight tooth and nail against this because if she lives with us, she loses her CS.

Stress and drama is heading our way. Ugh.

ETA: and now he's on the phone in the back of the house arguing with GUBM about all of this. Ugh. Stress, stress, go away.

Oh, I will. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around everything. Just so much in such a short period of time.

GUBM can still say no, so, I might be hoping for that. But, I'll still prepare myself for her to say yes because, apparently, she told SO that she can't afford to pay him what he pays her, so, maybe tooth and claw fighting isn't going to happen?

SO has a plan to talk to GUBM tomorrow at 2:00PM to finish their discussion from tonight. So I imagine I'll find out right about the time that I'm going into my review session for my Animal Behavior class tomorrow, or, will find out on my way to work afterwards. I posted another blog that goes into a little more detail about the convo they had tonight because I can't really seem to focus on anything else right now.

But, SO is going to start making preparations just in case GUBM agrees. Which means he is working a 12-hour shift tonight and then going to make phone calls and visiting schools tomorrow to find out how much it will cost to get SD into a decent school around here. At least that way one heavy thing on our plate is in the process of being taken care of. SO would just need a birth certificate/passport, and immunization record for SD in order to enroll her. But he'll take care of all the questions he has about it tomorrow.

I literally did not expect it to go this way. I was seriously expecting SD to tell SO that she was staying with GUBM. But, I guess there's a lot more going on at home with GUBM that I don't really know about since I detached from all that drama last year after the false alarm moment where SD wanted to move out here (she changed her mind after a few weeks of arguing with GUBM about it).

SD told SO tonight when they talked that she feels like she's in a rut and that she doesn't see it changing anytime soon with staying at home with GUBM. Of course, she identified her severe lack of being able to connect with other people as part of her desire to move and start 'fresh' somewhere other than south Jersey, but, SO made sure that she knows simply changing locations won't make that any easier for her as she has a lot of work to do on that herself.

I think the weirdest part of it for me right now is that I'm gun shy about telling anyone but my fellow STalkers and my best friend out here, and I don't want to bug her too much because her 3 year old son just got home from a week and a half trip to Disney World. I haven't told any of my other friends or my family yet. And I'm not planning on it until the decision has been made that she WILL be moving here with us. I'm used to having so many people to talk to about things that are weird, but, right now, it's STalk, my bestie, and SO. And SO is all weirdly optimistic that this is going to be great for our relationship. :/
