Country Frugal

Since this will be my first blog I thought it only proper for me to say hello and tell yall a little about myself.

I am a 26 year old mother to be (28 weeks) with a loving hunny who backs me up no matter what i wish to do. We live in a rather urban setting.. although the Turkey making its strutting ground a local intersection getting the front of the local newspaper would make it sound like its country living. The locals call this place Smalls-bury. I call this place the city with several 2 lane one direction roads in town, lights almost everywhere, and every type of store you could think of expecially when compared to the little town i grew up in. Luckily, we live in a 3br 2 bath trailer on a little more then 1/2 acre of land back away from the road in a quiet community, which is nice.

We have 2 ferrets who love to find new things to hide in their cubby holes and give weasle help. We are also furparents to a wraskley wabbit who loves to sun bath and act like an idiot hoping around.

I bake constantly to keep my walking tummy in food( Yet, still he is skinny rail Grrrrr). I plan on breastfeeding, cloth diapering and making my own baby food, so be assured there will be some halarious stories about that i am sure. I make and sell homemade lye soaps, yet i still work away from home.

My hunny has 2-3 Grand Mal Sezures per day even though he is on Meds they have yet to get them under control. He is currently 100% disabled and on SSI, although he would MUCH rather be bringing home the bacon. It is his hope that he will eventually be able to get VNS and get his sezures under control. For now he handcrafts custom leather products for people and gets an amazing amount of joy out of his "job".

We are both rather frugal people with a dash of insane packrattedness which we both got from our mothers who are baby boomers. Back stocking food incase seems to have be not only our down fall, but also our savior. As my hun says " Yah might call me crazy, but i will not be a hungry in my insane rantings."

Currently, we live off less then $2,000 a month and make it work SOMEHOW. We both have debt from previous lives that we are glad are over now, but still look back on from time to time.

My dream is to some day move to the boonies maybe in WV somewhere where they have Natural Gas rights with the land and no property tax yet close enough to the line so i do not have to pay piggy back tax for everything i buy. On a good size property where we could have a good size garden and raise a cow or 2, some pigs, free range chickens, and some goats. To be a work at home mom either with my own company or working for a stable company. Home school my children and be able to watch them grow and become kind, caring, moral citizens who know their pleases and thank you's and are willing to help people, but know when to say enough is enough.
