I stopped at the dojo to tell our sensei that the girls would have to stop karate and why. "Let me work something out," he said. "They've worked so hard, and we really want you to continue."

He called me a half hour later with a proposal: if we clean the dojo ten times a month (two or three times a week, which is manageable if Rob and I split that duty between the two of us) and if I take belt test pictures for an additional dojo in the franchise, as well as my own (two Saturday mornings a month) they will entirely waive tuition for the girls.

Hurrah! That eases budgetary woes but the girls can still continue.

I told him that if Rob lands a job in the salary range we're hoping for, then I very likely will come back and start taking lessons again, too.

I'm glad to hear it, and hope that it's only the first in a series of "good news" events for you.

Glad your sensei is so supportive.

Not to be a downer, but will Rob agree to splitting the work - and then follow through? Since it is only until he finds the next better job (fingers crossed!) time and energy shouldn't be an issue, at least.

That's great, it's nice to hear that they want to work things out for you. I meant to comment on your original post and say even if I'm a bit far away to be much practical help you're all in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm glad they're being so accommodating. *fingers crossed that everything else works out, too* I'm thinking of you!

I am reading backwards, so I don't entirely know what's going on (did click through to your journal and glance at the previous post, and will get to it in its entirety shortly). But I'm very glad they were willing to work something out.

Excellent! May all the problems have their own unique and satisfying answer.
