Another Monday
Dh starts a new job today. Hopefully we can make a fresh start. We certainly can’t blame anyone but ourselves if we don’t.
My job is going well, I enjoy it for the most part. But this will not be worth it if I don’t come out of it with serious savings and a paid off 2nd car so that I can be a SAHM again. Right now, I think we are shooting to get pregnant in January or February of ‘08. That way I will have paid benefits and maternity leave and all that.
I really, really want to homeschool Darian and the time to make a decision is fast approaching. For now we’re just gonna sock away everything we can, after we catch up on all our bills and buy the things we need (and a couple of things we want, like new bedroom furniture). I’m hoping we can save in the neighborhood of 50K in the next 2 years with our combined salaries. That should be enough to make sure we can comfortably live on dh’s salary, buy some land, and pay off a little yurt and go off the grid. 
I’m excited! I can be the kooky herb-growing, brownie baking lady who homeschools her kids.
Amber should be moving down here in the next 2 wks, and can take care of Darian part time until Mom moves back to CA in Sept. At that point I’ll have to decide about daycare/preschool/fulltime nannying, but I don’t want to think about it now.
