Happiness...

You don't find happiness after an experience like I had to go through and the kids witness, but I must say I found some! The trailer is smaller, but it is in great condition. I am still cleaning to my standards though. We have been here for three days now and are making it our own place.

My plants came from storage, they were only going to hold on so much longer! I am so happy they held on for as long as they did!! They are outside on our "deck" and happy. We watered our grass and the plants. It is so peaceful here. NO screaming/fighting neighbors, no loud kids (other than our own!), which might change. We have a slip and slide, volleyball net, horseshoes, and some other stuff set up now for the kids in our yard. Since we are stationary while we look for our own motor-home we are making due.

OK something you need to know...toilet paper as you once knew it is no longer! The one thing NO one has told me about is the TP! YOU have to use special RV TP. OMG it is horrid LOL. Oh well, will chalk that one up to getting use to living light!

I have always been a pack-rat, not saying I am giving that up but definitely get rid of a lot, yes more than when we first moved. Living nomadically is so freeing, in so many ways. There is less clean up, less to figure out what to do with, less you can carry simply because it is too big or you don't have the space!

I put the mixer out, we stored the appliances under the dining seat, the coffee maker is out, I just need to bake NOW! I am super excited, just need to make a run to the storage to get my pans (some were forgotten the other day).

Who knew living this life would make me so happy!? I do miss my family and friends back in WA, but WOW I think I was truly meant to live this life! The life of a gypsy or nomad. I think I can thank my mom for that one! Gypsy Rose II she said, as she was the first Gypsy Rose. :-)

OH and I love having a potty RIGHT there! Man asked the boys...wanna go camping?! First thing they said was "In a Tent?" LOL, then followed by "NO"! "AWWW" man said, "too soon?". Yes babe, too soon!

Until later...
