Where am I?

Lost in books these days. History, and plenty of book searching for the girls. We are just about in full swing with schooling. World history starts next week and so does latin.

Chick weekend is coming up soon! So looking forward to it!!! I felt earlier this year that all six of us would be together for the first time in years. But the looming in the back ground is a very ill mother of one of our moms. The parents are getting older. Illnesses and long recoveries.
We go back to church this coming Sunday. I decided that I needed to teach sunday school this year because I verbally said that I would. I have honor that. So, I have three kids this year. How cool is that? And one of them is mine! Three girls. (1)5th & (2)6th grade. I'm excited. I feel much more relaxed now. I have no idea what's ahead for us witht his church. It's been that way from day one and it has turn out many good things in our lives.

The "I" is Someone Else

Some people inhabit their lives
like a reflection does a mirror,
the way a penny rests in a well.
It killed me, you in The Alibi,
a vodka shot in your hand, warning,
"When I come back, I want you
waiting right here."
Me, tendering the illusion of another
self, a projection in the way
a movie can still run with no viewers.
Some people fill their lives
the way a shadow thinly satisfies
a wall, or an arrow finishes a heart.

Catching up

Getting the kids ready for school and all seems to be going along smootly. It's amazing how flexable Homeschooling can be. I actually look forward to this year. Maybe because it's our third year and i feel I have some areas down pretty good.

I did have a few questions and statements I did want to cover when I got back on line. 8/5/04


'A message to a new mother'

what can I say? you are a guinie pig just like the rest of us. You can read and ask for advice all you want, but what works is just taking one day at a time and finding your own family rhythm. I have no answers only suggestions. Take what you can use and toss the rest. This is your life now. It will be great! and it doesn't last forever.....let me repeat....."it doesn't last forever" what ever it is. It will move. You will fall in love with your husband all over again because there will be a side of him you've never seen before this child. The beauty and miracles are all yours. Enjoy it. I wish I had enjoyed it more than I did.

'Why did I marry a man?'


This was prompted by a conversation I has with 'the council of women'. These are the women of my homeschooling group. The question wa; " why is'nt my husband being more of an encouraging voice in my life?"

Answer I got?

Because what you give is what you get. and what you don't get from your husband you get from your support group......your friends. Hence the question "so why did I marry a man?"

The evenings are warmer now. The sounds of night life are in full swing. This has been unsusal since we've had such a lovely cool summer. I love being lulled by the sounds of the night for which I will be experiencing shortly.


~May we live our lives beyond separation,
knowing that nations and cultures are made up of individuals. May I be as one who rethinks my life, my actions, and aligns
to the glory we are all capable of. May I follow where I am spiritually guided, and embrace what is new that is of love.
May love flow through me and lend my individual life and light toward a better world.

Thank You!

I can't believe I am actually here! I've missed my blog terribly. Could I have written down on paper what I needed to express? Hell No. That's not working for me. Thanks to all I have seen on my site for the past month.

The story goes like this;

Lighting hit a tree in our yard a few weeks ago. From the tree it zipped down the electric dog fence we have buried in the yard and headed straight for the garage where it melted and blew up the dog monitor, killed the garage door opener, jumped to our computer (dead) and down the hall to our bedroom television (dead). Whicked!! the poor tree might make it. The lighting hit at the very tip of the tree and spiraled all the way down the length of it. I can't tell if the lighting struck from the ground up or tree down. We ar suspicious about the eclectric dog fence being a draw for lighting. so when storm come trough we unplug it.

And then.......

So we started looking for another computer. This simply means........... Tom will look on E-bay and find one just as old as the one that died. What he didn't know was that it would cost twice as much as he waas thinking to replace it. ( we are talking about the box with the hardrive in it only). We lost the first two bids for an identical replacement (week one). Next he found one in Texas that had a "buy now" option and he did it.

see........My husband has to have an Apple. He doesn't want to mess with a PC because of all the "wares" you have to be up on, on a daily basis to keep virus's at bay. With Aplles you don't have these issues. And, come to find out.....our "older" model was one of the best of its kind and that it has options that the newer ones don't have.

Two days later the computer get sent.....Fed-X August 5th........ Crap. Okay. They have a name to make for themselves here. So three days go by and Tom tracks the shipment to Chicago. The next day we were expecting this computer. It didn't come. So he tracks it again and it was sent to Tampa Florida!!!! during the hurricans no less, that was last Friday! Since then it has been "in transit". They've lost my bussiness for sure.

So we are back on again and I am very glad for it. I have plenty of catch up to do in the blog and in my kids schooling.



~Every morning is a fresh beginning. Every day is the world made new. Today is a new day. Today is my world made new. I have lived all my life up to this moment, to come to this day. This moment--this day--is as good as any moment in all eternity. I shall make of this day--each moment of this day--a heaven on earth. This is my day of opportunity.--Dan Custer

Been waiting for the "new comptuer". I have several things I want to wite about. I can't do it at the library. I need the comfort and privacy of my own home.

1) A message to a new mother
2) why did I marry a man?
3) I had several....but I guess I am having a brain fart right now.
