Off the grid...for the most part

It has been quite comical I must say, looking back over the past 6 weeks, or even 10.5 years! If someone told me 6 weeks ago, or even a year or more ago that I would be Nomadically living...I would have laughed so hard I would have peed myself! Having now lived this life for 6 weeks I can't say it is bad. I do hate not having a bathroom right down the hall or in my room, that sucks big time! The lack of privacy well you make it work and you get creative! ;-)

The boys seem to be doing well. They miss having their own space also, their toys strewn across the room and the XboX (can't blame them, I miss my space and computer too!). They are having to use their imagination and nature to have fun. We brought a game with us, some water guns and an outdoor play pack.

I am not going to say it has been the easiest life there is...but it is doable. We always have electric and water, so with that I am able to make all the fur-babies and our foods. I have a pressure cooker and a griddle (we brought the bread maker, crock pot and a convection oven - those are in storage haven't used them yet). I also have a cooler, that has been the hardest part other than a microwave...having to curb my desire to buy in bulk!!! I have made mac & cheese (pressure cooker), scrambled eggs with bacon and potatoes (pressure cooker and griddle), BBQ brisket (pressure cooker), chicken salad (made the meat in the pressure cooker), burritos (pressure cooker), mmm what else?! The possibilities are endless, just need a creative imagination and desire to do it!

The boys have been homeschooling/unschoooling/roadschooling/tentschooling lately. I use nature, I use the internet, we use the kindles and I brought some paper items but once used I throw away. They do art, history, math, language arts (literature & comp, grammar, usage and mechanics, spelling, etc.), writing, it has been working out well. I reward them with movies, free time, internet time (limited to educational stuff currently) and it seems to be working out just fine.

We have been through a torrential wind storm, followed by another wind storm with torrential rain and severe thunderstorms, and I would say torrential HEAT! LOL! All in all we are together, we are happy and we are living the life!

Until later...
