A Post

A few things to note: I'm pretty sure we will be moved out of our house in Centerton by next weekend. This weekend will be spent at the cabin hooking up the electric & start work on the water/well/pump. Dog pens need to be built. Current house needs to be packed. Utilities in current house will need to be notified at some point. And - I need my head to get wrapped around all of the changes. I think I may be in denial! But not in a bad way. I just feel like we are in limbo because we aren't settled in one place. On the weekends, we sorta live at the "Cabin". I'm calling it the cabin instead of the camper because it reminds me of our goal! During the week we live in this huge monster of a house - get up, go to work, come home, watch tv....I haven't been packing. I HAVE sold quite a bit of our furniture & stuff I don't want to store. But the packing - taking down all the pictures, packing up stuff I don't use on a day to day basis, I could be doing all of that at night, after work - but I'm not. I'm just floating along, like I have all the time in the world - I don't! But it will get done. It will all happen. It will all be okay!

Hunter-man & Peepaws First Fishing Trip

Still not able to blog like I want to, so many things are going on in our world, but alas, no home computer prevents me from sharing on here.  What I HAD to share, is that David took Hunter fishing for the first time last Saturday. He figured out real quick that a two year old is a handful, and maybe it's a little too soon to do any serious fishing with him. But it's the first of many I'm sure.  And I wanted to make sure I got it on here.

I LOVE My Boys!!!

Blogging.....

Will I EVER get to blog regularly again? At this point in time, I am not so sure! We are moved into the "cabin" and it's going really really good. I LOVE it there - which surprises me. I think David does too. The one down side is that we do not have internet. Our computer is actually in storage along with most of our belongings. I have SO much to blog about - so much to say. But alas, there is no time. I thought I would be able to keep up by blogging on my lunch hour, but one thing I am finding is that if I am sitting at my desk during lunch, then I am working - so that's out. I don't know when I'll get back to it, but hopefully I will. I just wanted to check in here & let anybody who cares know - I'm still here - we're still alive. Til next time (whenever that may be).....me

My Beautiful Flowers from My Beautiful Daughter!

Happy Hump Day!

It's Wednesday! Half way thru the work week - hallelujah! Work has been a nightmare this week - at least so far. Monday was good! I got FOUR checks in the over nights for Walmart events. That put me at five for the week. Since last week we have a new rule that unless you get 3 sales for the week, you can't wear jeans.....well....that's a big deal! And five insures I'll be wearing jeans next week! But yesterday - yesterday was awful. I had a complaint from Home Office on one of my events in San Diego. And I spent the ENTIRE day trying to fix it. When I left last night, I felt like I had done my best & had it under control. But today I have to go in & put together an email for the property owner & submit my dealers permits. NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT!
So on my last post you saw that we were working on some property. It is out in Weddington Woods by my dad's. We spent the entire weekend out there. Needless to say, nothing got done at the house. So....I'm behind yet again on laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping etc. But I won't be worrying about all that much longer. By March 15 we should be moved out there. Into our camper. I feel like I'll be able to stay on top of the cleaning & stuff in such a small space! We're going back down this weekend to work on it some more, and move some stuff down there. Honestly, I'm excited about all this. It is going to be an adjustment, but an adjustment that will be worth it in the long run. We're going to spend about six months catching up on stuff. Stuff we've got behind on because I wanted to live in this great big house & try to "keep up with the Jone's". I've finally came to the point in my life that I realize, I don't CARE about the Jone's. My heart belongs to Jesus, to David, and to my family. NOT the almighty dollar. A couple years ago Brittni gave me a book for Christmas called "Simplifying Your Life". I read it when I first got it, but my heart wasn't listening to it. I read it because it was a gift from my daughter, and I felt like I had to. But I found that book again about a month ago. David had already been talking to me about the fact that we couldn't keep doing all this. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again & expecting a different result. Well, every month we do the same thing...pay what HAS to be paid, do what we can, rob Peter to pay Paul...you get the picture. The stress it has put on both of us is indescribable! We both work our asses of every day. And for what? Another 30 days in this house that won't be paid off until David is 72? We decided we don't want to work that long. And we don't like living in a subdivision. We don't even like living in town! So....it's back to the basics for us. Simplify, simplify, simplify. In about six months we're going to pour the slab for our new dream! A small cabin in the woods. Something that fits US! Something that with a lot of hard work, a lot of heart, a lot of determination, will change our lives....for the better! And yes, I'm looking forward to it. A special thanks goes out to my dad, for giving us this opportunity to change our life. To get off the fast track, to redefine who we are & what's important to us. Til next time......me
