SHOULD WE STAY OR SHOULD WE GO?

This is a post that should have been written in November, however, I still want to write about it now. The title of this blog is the same as the song I would end my DJ jobs with by the Knack, should I stay or should I go. I usually played a couple of songs after depending on the dance floor but in our case here it was pretty questionable whether we should stay in the DR and finish out the school year or move back to Durham and weather the cold and craziness of a new school and comfort living.
While I was in Durham in November and Missy and the kids were in the DR, we were having construction on the house and many more things happening around the house that Missy was just fed up. She was tired of feeling like we are camping out,(and if you knew how much she despises camping out you would be amazed that we have lasted this long) So she started the ball rolling on moving back to Durham.
Cancel the school in the DR (to get our money back that we paid upfront for the school and the food), research all the schools in Durham and print out their applications and have me go and interview them while I am in the states. Get all the pertinant info for all the fees. Write a letter to our landlord there in the DR after we have paid for our rent until July 31 09(and getting money back in the DR will be ever so slight but we will try) I of course will do whatever will make Missy happy so I did my part and she did hers. Then Missy went to Ohio for the largest pro/am competition in November where the tempature was around 19 degrees, and dealing with all the prima dona professional dance people she was over that too for that bit of time. I on the other hand went back to the DR and was wondering if we could move or just make the house that was once nice, nice again couldn't we just make it till the end of the school year with out all the changes.
WELL when Missy returned to the DR on Thanksgiving day she was so happy to be back that we did finally make a decision to stay the remaining part of the school year. YEAH, as Drew and I said. Mariah on the other hand was whatever. I do feel sort of sad though as Drew and Mariah have not come back to the states since a few days in Sept when we went to my Dad's memorial service. They did not get back to Durham though. Whereas, Missy and I have come back quite regularly. I of course have to take care of our US responsiblities and my Mom and brother and Missy likes to feel useful with the dance dress business. But we are STAYING PUT FOR NOW.
I write this as I am about to leave Durham in the morning to go back to the DR until Jan 10th when I must return to the states. But Christmas will be in the Dominican Republic this year.
MERRY CHISTMAS TO ALL AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
FELIZ NAVIDAD Y FELIZ NUEVO ANOS
