Husband Clothes

My husband is sick of working 24/7. Well, I am also sick of him working round the clock–but as I’ve mentioned before, after you live through 5 years of poverty-level income, you stop caring about things like time together and tend to focus more on paying rent and eating food without using your credit card for groceries. I wonder if that will ever wear off–we have been doing well for several years now, but I still feel that working around the clock feels fine because it’s much better than having next to no income. This has me convinced that I am probably scarred for life. Oh well, we all have our scars–living near with not enough income to fully pay bills for several years is pretty minor.

Anyway, my husband recently decided to change everything. He wants to start his own business so that he’s doing the same type of work but on a freelance basis. My first thoughts were “oh…probably will will live at near poverty income levels again.” And then I realized that there was no time to ponder this thought cause I’m working 9 to 5 and have three little boys who are constantly fighting, screaming, playing, and asking me questions (or, more often, complaining about stuff I do or don’t do)…What am I trying to say? Well, I’m trying to say that I might have worried about this idea of my husband’s except for two things: 1) I can’t focus on a single thought for over 5 minutes due to the reasons listed above and 2) I love new adventures!!!

The new adventures part I could really go on and on and on about. I’ve had a lot of new adventures this year, and it has made things really fun (though very hard to blog!!!). So, it will be really exciting to see how my husband does with his business.

He already got his first project. He brought home all the paperwork and handed it to me. Um, excuse me–do I look like I have extra time to fill out his paperwork? You can’t see me, but if you could see me, I am positive that your answer would be a definite “no.” And of course he still hasn’t filled out the paper work. Too bad.

We’ll see how this business goes. I’m happy to have something fun and exciting!! Oh, also having a business doesn’t rule out taking projects–so technically I guess it’s not that big a risk. OH, but I suppose he hasn’t yet managed to talk me into buying equipment that will cost us $20,000 or more. Ok, yeah, that’s when it will become risky. (ha ha! good one!)
