I guess I haven’t been around much. So if you have given up looking at my blog I can totally understand. I didn’t really start this to get popular or anything anyway. I really just wanted a place to write like in a journal except that I could easily re-read my posts by following the tags. I do come back and re-read them quite a bit and ponder more on what I have posted before.
I am not working at the supermarket any more and that is a whole lot easier on our family life. I am trying to get lots done at home before this baby arrives. I have tidied up a lot of boxes and still have more to go. Next on my list is to sort out all the outgrown clothes I have been carting around for years that aren’t being used fully because I always seem to find them just after the child has moved on to the next size. Today I bought another 6 32L storage boxes and 2 50L storage boxes. That should keep me busy!
I haven’t been doing school with the boys. I really want to get some discipline in that area but have a few other things on my mind at the same time. The whole family could do with some dietary changes to see if some health issues clear up. It will take a lot of guts on my part to have the gumption to stick with the changes I think should be made. Wonder if I have it in me!?
Well, maybe I will post again soon, or maybe not! Need to get on with some food prep for some hungry little boys.
Best wishes,
CV

I just realised that I have rarely shared what the dreams are that I have that seem impossible.
I want a home of my own that I can change as I like without worrying about the next inspection by the real estate. I want timber floors that are beautifully polished and rugs of guts and splendor where needed to set apart functional spaces. I want new furniture of my own, that I have chosen and put together in the way I like. I would design my house around the furniture I want so that I don’t have windows using up wall space I need for a bed head or a set of drawers. I want to be able to store things properly instead of just jumbled together and hard to find. I want linens that are fresh and light in colour and I want rooms that feel relaxing yet not too messy.
I love looking at the homes here. I really like country style decorating. Dh doesn’t want me to do that whole roughed up paint work but with the right tone of white/cream I would be happy to just keep it simple.
Right now everything we own is second hand (or worse) and nothing matches. Even our dining chairs that go with our dining table and school table are breaking and need repairs or replacing.
I just want nice things, to feel comfortable in my home. How do we do that on unemployment?
Well, off to do some more dreaming of the impossible.
