A Long Week

This week seems like it was a month long. I was ready for Friday back on Monday.

The older I get, the more impatient I get for the weekends. I’m not old enough to retire but I’d sure like to change my life. I feel stuck in this life that we have now. It seems like our life, husband and myself, is mainly going to work, coming home to do the same old routine of house chores and dinner, sit in front of the TV to unwind, go to bed, get up and start all over again.

I’m very grateful for all the blessings that God has given to us. I’m grateful we both have jobs that pay the bills. We have our basic needs met; home, food, clothes. We have a wonderful family, we stick together through thick and thin. We love each other. Yes, we are so blessed.

Yet, I still yearn for a simpler life. When I’ve had a difficult week, not really a bad week, just very busy, that’s when my heart is desperate for change. I dream of moving a little further north. Maybe Kentucky or Tennessee. Maybe Ohio or Wisconsin. My husband knows about my dreams and yearning for a simpler life. He would like that too. He’s a bit nervous about leaving his job to move so far away, for a different life. He is concerned about finding a new job, especially at his age.

Everyone knows that you can’t live on Social Security alone, so we both have to keep working, unless we can start our own business. I was hoping I could make enough money from this blog to replace my income but it hasn’t done that yet. I love blogging, talking with you. I wish I had the time to sew and craft and learn photography. I yearn to be a full time homemaker.

Please pray for me, that the Lord will make a way for my dream of a “simple life” to come true.

I haven’t even had much time this week to read the blogs that I follow and I sure miss them. I would rather read them than get on Facebook. Check out my blog roll in my sidebar. I think you’ll like them too.

It’s been a long week, a very long week. I’m going to cherish every single minute of this weekend. Next week, even more work to do than this week. Not going to think about that til Monday.

Talk to y’all later. Enjoy your weekend!
