the company that bk works for was recently acquired by a much larger company. i'm told he's vested in the original company and that this will somehow benefit him (and therefore me) financially. and also, i'm told that he's accepted a six month contract (with hopes for permanent hire) that will likely have him moving to austin, texas. he's already talking about buying a house there. and uh, the kids said he bought a motorcycle. not surprisingly the kids are taking the news of the potential move quite well. "does this mean we get to stay with gram debbie on monday nights!?" asks parker. "wait, who? bk or d? which daddy?" asks renzo.
i suspect that if/when it does happen, not much will change in our lives. in a sense i'm relieved because it will clarify things that are still sometimes up in the air, if only in my mind. are overnights ever going a possibility? weekend days? more than four consecutive hours? will he flake? will he upset parker? will one of the kids cry and scream and kick when it's time to go with him? do i have a responsibility to invite him to school functions even though he shows no interest whatsoever? with over 1600 miles between us, none of these questions will even be relevant any more. and that calms me.
