Well this isn't the most interesting of posts but I need to catch you all up. My husband over the course of two weeks heard about a job, interviewed for it and got it, them over the next week we moved to Abilene. Let me tell you, I have never been so tempted to throw away everything I own as when I contemplated how to transport it all 150 miles. We are still not all out but I figure at this point we are still paying for the apartment in Fort Worth so we might as well use it to store some of the baby stuff we don't want to get rid of but that Nathan has out grown. That is the main thing holding us back now: double rent. The current bane of my existence. Daniel and I talk and talk in circles about what we will be able to do once that is over. The good news is that between the pay raise and the health benefits we come out fairly close to where we were before even with the double rent, and that is very exciting.
Now I don't have to work at all, if you call being a stay at home mother of one not working. I guess i should say, I don't have to work outside the home at all now. I love making jokes about Daniel supporting my life style, teasing that I am a gold digger and other silly things because he is now that sole supporter of our family. We love it! This is the first time in our marriage that I have truly not had any other job than housewife. I earn my keep by keeping his socks washed and making his meals, caring for his son. You know, the usual. That reminds me, I think I need to was a load of jeans.
I will be back to posting more regularly now that things are settling down.

Kara short-sells herself here. She "earns her keep" by paying attention to every aspect of all three of our lives except what I do when I'm at work or drawing.
ReplyDeleteYay! I am so glad to hear this. Finally being able to be a "stay at home" mommy was a huge deal for us too! I love my "job!"
