Today, yes today, it's snowing. It's been an icky day weather-wise and my only inclination has been to do...next to nothing. Which is pretty much how I spent my day with the kids. They played, we read books, I kept the music flowing as needed, fed them, baked bread, folded some laundry, and played on ebay.
Maybe it's the out of season weather. Maybe it's that I'm feeling like a change. Whatever it is, I've got an idea in my head. I want to check out of everyday life for a stretch, take the kids and RV our way across North America. Just imagine the education our children would get, seeing so many parts of the continent. Getting to experience geography, culture, travel....all while traveling like turtles with our home on our backs.
I'm not thinking in the next 6 months or anything, but rather in a couple of years. When all three kids are school age, probably all reading, and ready to handle a bit more adventure it would be more feasible. With the right RV, and vehicle to tow it (which we don't currently have), it could be totally possible. Even if we managed to work out a 6-12 month leave from work for the hubby, and some careful financial planning, this could happen. I have dreams of driving through places we've never seen, taking pictures of the kids on both coasts, and everywhere in between. The learning experience would be invaluable for us all. It could be life changing.
The problem is that the hubby thinks I'm kind of crazy.

Ooooh, I've got goosebumps. The good kind. As in, that's sooo exciting, kind. I hope that you nurture this kernel of an idea, and sell your husband on it, because, the potential for awesome wonderfulness, is huge.
(And I know what's it's like t hardly dare whisper the beginnings of such a dream. But keep whispering, and sometimes, you do get to tell everyone what IS happening, rather than what you WISH to happen. We're proof of that.)
Best of luck, and good planning to you, my friend. ((hugs))
Sigh...sounds wonderful!!! Just make sure the RV has a working potty : )

The hubby thinking you're kind of crazy is a fabulous reason for the timing thing. :) Either he'll come 'round, or you'll talk your own self out of it.
