It’s been over a year now since we’ve worked and we’re still LOVING it!!
Yesterday was a sad sad day for me and the girls. Carl actually woke early, but really not that early, and went to work. He was late but the boss was even later so they cancel each other out. The girls asked all day long when daddy was going to be back. We’re all so used to having him around 24/7 that we didn’t know what to do with ourselves, it was like suddenly I was walking around with one leg missing. What will I ever do without my man?
So he put in a full days work fixing a watermaker on a friends boat. I was told that he was a very hard worker but isn’t everyone on the first day? I told Justin that if he was to hire him back again I’m sure he’d find him asleep in the master cabin with the TV on.
Seeing that this was Carls first gig in over a year you may be asking yourselves how do we make money? Well we sold our house, car and business and are still living off what the tax man so graciously left behind. We also have 3 properties that have renters in them. After insurances and other expenses we don’t come out with a lot and definitely not enough for us to live off. We’ll be happy if we can make it to Alaska then over to Australia before we have to enter back into the rat race. By the time we get to Australia we may be living off of rice and baked beans but it will all be worth it. I love spoiling our kids by having both parents around all day long.
I think we take Carl for granted a lot and having him gone for a day made us all appreciate his company even more, after all our little boy needs some testosterone in his life.
