home at last

i've stopped working for the season, even though the store is still open and i still have to over see the day to day happenings. i'm not taking anymore of the shifts.



i have spent the time getting reacquainted with my son. my husband and i are attachment parenting and it is a lot of work, i think it is the hardest thing i have ever done. spending just a month back to work really damaged our relationship. i was able to take him to work with me, but this still wasn't the same as being at home. because at home everything is about and for him.

just when i thought things where looking up. and i thought that the house deal was finally going though. the stock market has a server down turn. these are hard enough times already and the stock market just adds to the tension we all are already feeling. now of course i'm thinking is it really a good time to even be buying a house?

but it does make me glad terry and i have spent so much time paying off out debt. neither of us has credit card debt, we paid off the car loan and now we are just paying for the truck, and i suppose if times really got bad we could sell one.

i can't wait for this house deal to go though. i'm planning my garden and my new simple life all around the new house, it's hard to plant a garden when you live in an apartment but i have managed to have a potted tomatoe plant every year we have lived here. i'm just ready for a proper garden. i have such fond memories of my childhood garden that my sister and mother used to tend. we had a neighbor that had a hugh garden and a small green house that he would start working in in january. he would plant tomatoes and cover them with plastic milk jugs so they where in their own little green houses. it was amazing to watch. and we would ask him for help with our little endevers. which when i was a kid seem like the whole world. i remember having tomatoes for dinner that where still hot from the sun, it was great.
