Indiana

Well we are "home" in Indiana--living it up in a small hotel room--doing the homeschool thing--I am so happy to be together as a family--even though these aren't ideal circumstances.  Jimmy pleads to swim--everyday. Chase would be happy to watch food network--all day.  Me--I just wish that we could be settled already!  Unfortunately or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, I am not sure that is in the cards for Joe and I--we always seem to be on the edge of something changing--jobs, houses, kids, dogs, etc...  I look at the farms that we are surrounded by now and I wonder/envy their lifestyle. 

Have I ever mentioned that I want a farm--not a big farm, but a farm that we can sustain ourselves by--raise some piggies and chickens--have a massive garden--hang my laundry out to dry--can my own produce--share with my neighbors--sort of farm.  I want my kids to learn the value of hard work, dedication, and reward that I think a farm would provide.  It all seems ideal--doesn't it! But we have to pay the bills and stick with what we have got--for now--come what may--we can face it together.......and the boys can have their daddy, who they missed more than anything!
