A Sticky Situation
(wee disclaimer: not my idea!)
~~~~~
I make my kids my priority
stuck on you baby
this can not be legal
so lovely to look at, so painful to remove
(helful hint for removal: it takes 20 minutes in the tub for every 37 stickers you put on)
P.S. Jesse says, “please, please do NOT try to make pants with the stickers, just trust me on this one, ok?”
Stuff
(life, with scattered oddities)
One boy, six seconds
Trev took Roo out for her very first snowshoeing expedition and it lasted 3 minutes and 24 seconds, the end.
a marriage made in the very best trailer park that heaven has to offer.
A nice, quiet place.
Today we are playing games and drinking cocoa and laughing. The snow is so deep, I cannot imagine the melt and yet I know it will be here before long. We taste the tomatoes from summer and we are so very glad.
My breathing was horribly strained last week but is good today; I am seeing a specialist in a month and am hoping she can provide some insight into what is going on in me. For now, I am cleaning all the imperfect bits out of my diet in the hopes of boosting my immune system more; I have been off sugar for two weeks and am feeling quite good. In a few weeks or so, I will add honey and syrup back into my diet and see how that goes. The first few days held the most cravings, but it gets easier by the day.
If you could see me now, you would see me in my jeans, long john top and mussed hair, all red cheeked and clutching my little seed catalogues in fierce desperation.
What are you clinging to these days?

Random games we play in our house

~toilet paper races down the stairs
~cross dressing the cat
~massive tinfoil ball competition
~3 day non-stop carb festival of champions.
The End.
This and That
(now with 25% less oxygen)
I am still feeling cruddy, I think the Advair is helping some but the effects are so gradual it is difficult to tell. I am coughing non-stop today. I am going to see a chiropractor and naturopath to see if they can provide any additional help for this asthma. For now, I am craving quietness and warmth and so I am trying to make time for those things. I wanted to say thanks to all of you for the support and thoughts and phone calls and LOVE, it really, really helps. Thank you.
Our days are calm; the kids are playing gameboy and board games and legos and we read book after book after book. Sometimes we paint and sew and sometimes we lay in bed all morning and talk about cats. Sometimes we bake things and draw with our fingers in the piles of flour and sometimes we sit and watch the fire burn. You just never know what the next day will bring. I have not been taking photographs of life these past few months (the cold makes my lungs spasm so I am not out much), but I look forward to warmer weather so I can get out and get back to my heart’s calling.
In much needed pick-me-up news, my unschooling friend Kelli gave me an Excellent Blogger Award

In pick-me-up news part two, my felted pieces have been featured
I am wheezing and warm and loved and grateful.
The One
You know that moment in summer, the very first one? It is the day the strawberries ripen and the sun glows and the earth is deeply, deeply warm and the soil feels like the truth, the root of everything.
You pick the first berry and it is such a deep red you want to sigh and the way your fingers hold the fruit like your mother and her mother and hers makes you want to laugh and throw yourself into the wind.
This is the moment, the one just before you taste the first berry, this one.
This is how I feel today.
