Cha, Cha, Changes......

I am in such a state of, umm, what is the word I am searching for?  Well any way, my problem is I am itching for a change.  But a change I don't think I can possibly make right now.  I am yearning to be able to stay home and make my living from my home.  Raising cattle, getting chickens, learning to sew again, basically be a farmgirl.  I am so craving being able to stay home and start working on home projects, be here to do chores with Robby around the house, and be a housewife again.  It has been years since I have been able to stay home and just be a simple wife and it is what I crave and love the most.  Recently I have stumbled across some amazing blogs by people such as www.parisiennefarmgirl.com and her mother's blog at www.savvycityfarmer.com and I long to have this life again.  Clearly I don't want to have babies again, or actually I would love to have more babies but my age and body have different ideas, but I would love to be able to make a living in the same manner as these ladies.  I am such a frugal woman and require very little money to get by that I think Robby and I could be fine without my income as a nurse.  But I am not sure I can convince him of that and I would have to do something to make a little money somewhere.  But in order for me to find the time to dig deeper into such pursuits, I need be home  and working full time right now is not allowing me that time.  I hate this itching feeling and wish I could come up with some way of achieving this dream.   If anyone out there has any ideas for me, please share them with me. 

I also am dying to redecorate our house.  Now that Robby and I are married, I really feel like this is my home now and therefore feel somewhat the right to make some changes to it.  Only problem is, I think Robby has more opinions about the way this house looks inside than most men.  Not that he is any interior decorator by any stretch of the imagination, but my French Country ideas may just not be what he is thinking of.  I need to find a way to gently bring this up and see what I can get away with. 


Well, I don't have any pictures relevant to this post so I am just going to post some pictures of my favorite things. Hope you enjoy them and if anyone has any ideas or words of wisdom for me, by all means, leave me a comment. I don't even know why I write these posts as if anyone reads them, but maybe some day I will be pleasantly surprised and someone will read them.

  1. I read them! I always enjoy reading your posts. I wish you the best and hope that you can do what you desire. I enjoyed being home and things were going ok until the house started falling apart. The monthly bills are fine, but the extras are extremely painful. Hopefully you won't have that problem. I love seeing pictures of you and your boys. They make you so happy and it shows. Good luck on all endeavors and hope you can stay home and do what makes you happy. Love you! HUGS

  2. Thanks Sheila, you are a doll. I know in time all things fall into place and when the time is right, it will all happen. Our house is at that 20 year point where things need to start being replaced and repaired, luckily Robby built this house so he can repair just about anything that needs it. That helps on the money side of up-keep at least. I will keep you posted and let you know what happens. Love you so much and hope to see you in Martins again sometime soon so I can give you some more hugs:)
