A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Seven kids

Yeah unfortunately lol I wouldn't do it except even with gas prices i still save over 400$ or so. The price difference in flour were we currently live and costco is 42$ for 50 lbs for here and 16$ for 50lb bag at costco and that the cheapest flour i can find in our area in bulk. Eggs which thankfully no longer applies thanks to the chicken is 30$-20$ here and 10$ at costco. There are several more things that the cost is similar

I have a good idea of your general area and while town has most of what you need, there is nothing else for miles so they can name their price.

A possible job change is a big decision, I know y'all will make the right decision right for your family. I'm glad you checked in and gave us an update.

Hello all, well my husband is getting a transfer today. It looks like it might have him away from this area for several months if not longer. We are now looking at moving again, this time we are looking at buying something else were. Where we want to live, since his orders are until August 31 which means he could vary well not see us except every once in awhile. So we kinda looking at getting the kids and I to a better and safer area. Looking at east Texas still. I cracked up the other day when we were talking to a realtor in the area, partly because the accent reminds me of my own lol. Well duh I am from east Texas. My husband stated my accent probably will come out more after we move that way. Any ways beside me being weird lol I am official 6 months pregnant with a little girl. That makes 3 boys and 4 girls. Trying to get things organized and ready for both moving and baby girl. I also need to go clothes shopping for the kids. They grow out of everything lol. Had thought my parents were going to be joining us for Thanksgiving that has since changed. Oh well need to make plans for fun things for the kids. going to be working on school, house work, and running errands today. Should be making our Costco trip most likely next week we or this weekend. Lots to get done always and feels like we are constantly adding more things. Going to be an interesting week. Well hope everyone is doing well eventually I will maybe be on here more often and I can catch up on reading some threads until then see ya'll later.

Never a dull moment! Congratulations on the soon to be, baby girl. Going to buy a place and put down roots? That’s what yall have been working towards. Any particular part of east Texas that you are looking at?

My husband prefers to say towards Livingston so Trinity, Glen etc near Lufkin.

Congrats on the baby on the way! How you do all that is way beyond my comprehension!!
Moving - cool and looking like you'll be around @Baymule and @Ridgetop or close sort of.

One step at a time, and I never get everything done. This week we are watching a friends dog and tending their other animals. So kinda have to get some things done today cause they wont be able to tomorrow. I am excited to be able to move back to east Texas area. We currently live its a desert and the soil is awful. So hoping to be able to have a garden and animals again even if its a small amount. Plus be able to do what we want with our house sounds amazing. Currently pay 2000 for rent and the houses we are looking at will be less then a 1000 a month so yay more budget room.

I’m in Trinity County, 7 miles from Apple Springs. I lived in Livingston for 25 years.

Hello all, okay so this today game plan is house work (sweeping,mopping, laundry, bathrooms, dusting) , meal plan, grocery trip plan, baking some, going to clean house, work gather some more wood for burning, make sure everyone has their school work ready to go for this week. Work on a Christmas/birthday gift plan, need to process the deer meat that my husband shot. Trying to think of anything else I need to do. I ran errands yesterday, library, craft supplies, and some clothing the boys needed. Currently the kids are still asleep I am making breakfast, working on my to do list and meal plan. Honestly its the worst lol. We also set up the tree yesterday and the kids decorated it, they had a blast. Hoping to get most of this list done today we shall see. Dh orders have been extended... might push back our plan to move until spring then. Which means maybe a later garden then I wanted but that's okay everything will get done in its own time. My parents didn't come up this week like they planned, that's okay not sure I would have gotten much done with them here. Also need to help organize the girls room again, the little girls drawers are a mess. I think that is all... okay I hope that's all. Plan to bake banana bread, bread, brownies, chocolate cakes, maybe pies(dh was asking for work not sure if he still wants me to or not) and making a chicken pot pie or two for later this month.
