Plain tuckered out!!!
Well we finally have our internet up and running, but unfortunately I haven't really had time to take a lot of pictures because we have been so busy. I will try to see what I can come up with soon, but we are pretty busy unpacking and getting settled.
I find it very interesting how tired we have been since arriving at the new house. We have been spending quite a bit of time outdoors with the horses and just getting into the groove of country living. I think that the combination of being out in the fresh air and doing horse chores and riding takes its toll on our bodies.
We don't have bedtimes for our children and haven't since they were very young. Subsequently, the children generally stay up til the wee hours of the morning doing one thing or another. Since they don't have a bedtime, they never had a wake up time either so they usually wake fairly late as well. Since moving out here they have been in bed before ten o'clock every night and up between 6 and 7 a.m.
By the end of the day the kids and us old folks as well are exhausted. It is nice to be this tired and to fall into the bed at the end of the day. It really is a good feeling. Even better is waking up early and being well rested. It is good to get more out of every day.
Don't get me wrong, I liked our old habits as well because generally I am a night person as are most of our children, but this new routine just feels so good. Maybe it is because I know that my family is tuckered out from fresh air, hard work and lots of fun. We sure are enjoying our new lifestyle and can't wait to share more of it with you hopefully with photos soon as well.
Good night all as it well past the hour in which I should have gone to sleep with the kiddies.

- I am a mother of 5 wonderful children and wife to one amazing Navy man. I am always changing things in my life, constantly learning something new and trying it out. I am a wannabe vegan, minimalist and currently living full time in an RV. Just for clarification, I say wannabe, because I know I am not perfect, but each day I strive to do the best I can. That's all I can expect from anyone no matter where they are in life. I learn something new everyday...mostly about myself and my little corner of reality. Life, to me, is loving, learning and making memories. These are better than all the tangible riches one can get their hands on! Besides, there will come a day when all I have left is my love and memories...so I'll stockpile as much of those as I can!
