There are so many times where I just want to move out in the middle of nowhere and do things my way. But I would miss so much of city life. I love walking down my road in relative assurance that I won't get bitten by a dog (which has happened to me). I like that I can run errands in a short time, and food is still hot if I get takeout. And I don't spend as much gas or time doing things away from home.
I can just imagine my husband now, getting irritated about a chicken coop and having to help in the garden:) Mental pictures say it all...
As I've written before, I plan to actually grow things we'll actually from a garden next year. This plan would be a lot less complicated if I didn't work. I know a lot of people work and still get everything done, but I just can't function that way. I definitely need a more leisurely pace and a lot more money! HA!
I miss my old life; the one where I had two small children to take care of and school to teach, and lunch, and what I miss most of all is having real conversations with my children. These days they just want to play with their friends or play video games--when they actually come inside. I never realized how many times we ended up talking about important stuff just because we spent so much uninterrupted time together. I miss homeschooling. I miss my kids...
You like my pun in the title??
