Is this completely ridiculous?

Thank you for your insight, your response feels the most accurate to me. Many of these responses are advising me to figure out the root cause of my unhappiness, and I've honestly been giving this a lot of thought. I can't help but conclude that the bottom line is boredom. I'm really not a "dig my roots into the local community" type of person, and neither is my husband. We've been here for 4.5 years so far, and we still cannot bring ourselves to call it "home". In all honestly, I think I might actually, truly and honestly be a wanderer. Once I hit my 20s, I moved around our state quite a bit for about 5 years, and I was pretty happy doing that. But about a year into "living the American dream", I started to feel like I wanted to relocate again. Here I am, 3.5 years later...still feeling the same way. I don't want to be one of the ones who suffer through a lifestyle that doesn't work for them.

Now, of course, having young children and my husbands job are factors. I've always planned to homeschool, so that's one non-issue. There actually is hope of my husband working remotely. We were talking about this the other day, and I guess he's been doing a lot of work that doesn't require him to be in the office. I used to actually work from home as a freelance designer, so there's hope of me being able to pick up work in the future too. I could probably even make money blogging about traveling (I worked in marketing and graphic design).

Looking at our future with these ideas in mind makes me feel a lot more optimistic, to be honest.

I'll second the recommendation for Fulltime Families. While not the "norm", LOTS of families live fulltime lifestyles. In fact, I'm doing it right now.

It's me, the wife, and 2 kids (11 and 3). We just came from a "NOT Back to School" rally in Branson where we were 1 of 40 families.

As long as your work is generally mobile, it's a great lifestyle.
