Iz Chilly out there!

Well, Here it is another chilly day in Salt Lake City, Utah!

My internet is disconnected due to non payment,  as we have limited income coming in right now. Freezing my ass off, I sit on the front porch, scamming internet from the city park across from my once beloved home.

The For Sale sign stares at me from the lawn, the foreclosure papers are sitting on the lawyers desk, my new life awaits as my husband turns a School Bus into our new home.

I hope you enjoy our journeys, reading our blog, watching our videos and viewing our pictures! Please join us on our trials, tribulations and travels right here on the web! Send our link to all your friends and…..Be careful what you wish for!

The Fans are here! Direct TV is coming!

<bow bow> Thank you Thank you! haha, nope not fans……

but, fans…

Shurflo- Comfort Air Fans! Gold Series. Stoked!

Got 3 fans on Ebay, $125 each with shipping~ Great deal! Elsewhere they were $200 each.

The Shurflo Comfort Air Fans are equipped with a hand crank, tinted top and will act as a ceiling fan even when the vent is closed. This was a huge selling feature to me when selecting a vent fan to go with. They also will switch direction to move air out or in.

The little things that excite us with this project

The little things like this will also make a huge difference in our comfortability during our travels!

1 in our room

1 in the kids room

1 in the main living area of the home

Just moving along today! Direct Tv will also be here some point between noon and 4pm, to install our satellite TV in Da Bus! I know, I know I would prefer no television, but, gotta keep the troops happy and excited about this venture. I can’t take everything away from them. They are already losing their home for the last 6 years, and most of their “stuff”. Can’t take away the internet, Tv and cell phones too, my daughter would kill me. Or run away!

Follow That Bus Parts 1-5

Going, Going….Almost Gone!

Another weekend here at Casa De Chaos!
Billy is working hard on the bus, walls are going up! Cabinets are being built, things are being sold.
Yard Sales from here on out every Saturday! Choosing not to live in the rat race still leaves us with our own daily grind.

Wake
Coffee
Billy to the Bus- building
Me to the House- detaching, Simplifying

So many mixed feelings with letting things go;
Detachment, Loss, Sadness
Reprieve, New Beginnings, Freedom

The more things go, the easier it is to let go, those “things” that I said I would not let go off, I feel I could now. Gathering things that were special, costly, and took up my space in my home and life energy, sit on my front lawn, looking like junk to me. The things I thought were worth something, are still left, not being bought by those hassling me to sell them a radio for a quarter.

Do these things have worth? look around your home, really look. What are things worth? what is that word even? Worth? Is it all perception? The more I go through this process of shedding. The more I see it is all just things I have needed to rid of, things that got us in a financial bind, things, stuff, junk, that honestly has no worth!

Dreams Fade into Dusk, Reality Becomes my Dusk

Sleep is a thing of the past

Thoughts of Sex are replaced by visions of electrical systems

Food is harried, rushed, grabbed once the belly rumbles

School busses drive through my dreams

My Email inbox is flooded with answers to our furniture ads

My head spins with thoughts of uncertainty

Am I ruining my children’s lives?

Or

Am I enriching their lives with adventure?

The Realtor sign sits in the front yard

The foreclosure papers could manifest before a sale

The once loved family vehicle sits in front of the house awaiting repossession

Where did the life I had planned go?

Vanishing before my eyes!

Our 40ft yellow chariot awaits our presence

fully on our own, sustainable, not living the life I had planned, yet the off the grid life I had always dreamed.

xoxo
