Hoping for the future

I have been thinking more and more about having a home of our own. We were looking at buying before the economy got in such bad shape. Now I am thinking about it again. It would be so nice having a house where I could have complete control and do some remodeling on.

I want a nice roomy kitchen and plenty of space so I can do some entertaining, Especiallyat holidays...room to have over my husbands full family. It would be great. Right now there is just not enough room to do something like that.

There is a house I might go look at next weekend and see if it comes close to being something we would like.

I like being a homemaker

Being a homemaker is something that makes me happy. I enjoy taking care of my home and get such pleasure from when things are tidy. I enjoying having friends over but it doesn't happen as much as it did in my 20s during my first marriage. It is one of the few things I really miss from that time in my life. I do wish I entertained more but I have a such a small house that there isn't much room to do it. Plus there is the kitty and the kitty hair issues. Makes me paranoid that a stray hair could end up in the food. How do people with pets do it? Do they not worry about it? Do the keep the pet outdoors? The latter is not an option for me as I live in the city and kitty has to stay inside.
