Ah time sure does fly when you are living YOUR dream (or attempting too) rather than chasing the American Dream. I have been blessed to have a job that I get to work from home doing. It allows me the freedoms to school the kids, enjoy the kids and our time together and be a workaholic. LOL yes I said that.
I have seen some un-becoming behavior from the boys, mostly I think due to the fact that I am working now. I don't think they like sharing me. My oldest thinks I am just having fun with online friends and playing games. He knows better, he requested to work like me when 18. LOL.
It is an adjustment for us all, that being said it is a job I can do anywhere! I can't wait to hit the road and not be stationary! Soon...very soon. So in light of that fact, hubby is also doing what I do from home now too, he has a much lighter schedule than me but it does earn a bit of extra cash to put into the RV of our own fund. We went from Class A/C to bunkhouse trailer, then back again to Class A/C. I dunno each day varies. I think for now, bunkhouse trailer, then 3-5 years motorhome. This will give the kids a space of their own. I don't imagine when we get on the road that we will be going for hours and hours. I really wanna see things, like the world's largest ball of string, does Chevy Chase and National Lampoon Vacation come to mind?! Yeah! Sweet! That is what I want to do!
Living on top of each other does require some getting use too. We take solitude in the fact that the kids can go outside for a bit, before the blazing 105 degree temp hits us, allowing us some time alone, or me time alone during the week. I am not going to say it has been all gumballs and games. It is hard work, we work really hard to manage daily. In the end we laugh because really we are happier. We have had the ups and downs with the kids. The questions about why we moved here for MY MOM. Why couldn't we just have stayed THERE? The whinning about the heat, the bugs, the dark, etc.
Let me say I was raised here in TX, and everything is much bigger here than other places. LOL The wasps are like three half dollars put together in a row, the snakes are rather large, the birds, etc.
Listening to the boys see their first firefly was pretty amazing. There is a light at the end of the tunnel just not sure if it is an oncoming train or the other end! My mom always said I would pay for my raisings, what she failed to mention is you never stop paying for them.
We finally have A/C in the car, while man says I doubted him, I really didn't. I knew one way or another he would provide me with A/C. I just get to hot and cranky and all that hot mess stuff. NOW we have A/C I am super stoked! I can get in the car in the 105 temps and feel ok to drive.
The fur-babies are all adjusted, the cat and two dogs get along well. The cat and the smallest dog sleep together often, then the cat switches and sleeps with the bigger dog, or perhaps it is the other way around. ;-)
I wish we had more space, and an outdoor kitchen, I am requesting that on the trailer we finally end up with, but if not that is ok. I will make do. I am STILL not complaining! I know crazy! ;-)
Until later...
