My new job

If you are wondering why I haven't blogged lately, it is because I have a new full time job. Unfortunately it doesn't pay anything!  Well, I did get a new Mac computer, so I guess that is something. 

My new job is house hunting.  It is much more difficult than I would have ever imagined.  First, where to live?  Where to send the kids to school?  Which ward would be the best for our four children, especially the older two since they will be entering the Youth program shortly.  

All this is complicated by a husband who is tired of living in a 1300 square foot house with four kids.  Maybe he is just tired of hearing all my complaining about living in a 1300 square foot house with four kids!  Have you ever had to listen to two children practice the piano for 40 minutes each while doing reading lessons with twins in a tiny home?  It isn't easy.  

So anyway, he wants me to find him a 3000 square foot home, with five bedrooms, an office, a pool, 3 car garage, great schools, large ward, not to mention a short commute to work.  And he wants all this on a Major's salary!

Now, do you see why this has become my full time job and now I have no time to blog.   I have been given an impossible task!

He may have to settle for a 4 bedroom home that is closer to 2000 square feet with a community pool.  Hey, compared to what we have now, that will be a mansion!
