Cheap therapy

I've been told for some time that I should start a blog. I go from thinking that I would have nothing to share to the other extreme that I have TOO much to share. So many thoughts..how do I even know where to start? You can't live for 50 years without coming up with many ideas and opinions. For a long time I debated what I would call my blog. Today I came up with "cheap therapy" which I love so today is the day I start! My life is in a transitional period right now, lots of changes, some good, some not so good.

We sold our family home where all three kids were raised and moved to a much smaller house that we built on 3 acres. I've had very mixed feelings about this. This is more my husband Tom's dream than it is mine. I'm finding that everything that goes wrong or is an inconvenience upsets me even more than normal. Right now it's the lack of air conditioning. Our old house had AC and this one doesn't and it's right in the middle of a hot field of dirt. It's hot and it's dirty. I'm not happy. It's going to be 100 degrees tomorrow. Tom always bites off more than he can chew and he's drowning in projects. He starts many and finishes few. We really need some grass, some landscaping, maybe finish painting the house or his jumbo "shop". He's decided he needs to put curbs in around the driveway. A project that will take the rest of the summer....hmmmmmm........ He hates his job and is always exhausted and doesn't have enough energy to finish things. It makes me wonder if this "dream" will be more of a nightmare. I know I'm not being fair and that I'll learn to love living out in the country too. This is just "cheap therapy" right??
