I've been trying to spend less time online and more time keeping the house & giving Autumn relaxing days. I'm not about to give up LJ, although I'm tempted to take up greenhealing's week long hiatus challenge. I'd be fine not posting, but I'd be wondering what was going on in everyone's lives. I'd sneak ( Read more... )

Long day. Cleaning. Lots and lots of cleaning. Emotionally draining but renewing and much needed :D Long talks and lots of hugs and better understanding. Happy us!

Let me be a good interpreter for my daughter until she learns the words.
Let me trust that she will love me and know me.
Let me remember to take 10 minutes out of my day to be quiet.
Let me feel the love of my daughter and husband in my marrowLet me wake each morning, no matter how tired ( Read more... )

I've spend alot of the day outside. Autumn & I are both happiest there, on our balcony or on a walk... just nice to feel the sun on your face and the breeze in your hair.

Best part of my weekend: laying around in a hammock in the shade with Randy and Autumn, feeling cool breeze on my cheeks and smiling. Being happy, damnit.

This has been Randy's weekend. First his birthday, now Father's Day. I tried my hardest (on a not-there-at-all budget) to make it special for him and think I succeded :) I'll give you a brief overview and then jump into the pictures you just know are comin ( Read more... )

A boy at the middle school around here brought 2 rifles to school. Actually, he lives in Haymarket (the next "town" over) but it reitterates my idea that I want to homeschool Autumn even though I hope to be out of this area by then. It could happen anywhere as time has proven. How scary ( Read more... )
