Order up....

Three of my Mother Goddess bracelets sold today in my Etsy shop. I wonder where and with whom they will end up.......

Desperation

I am supposed to be the strong one. I fix everything. I am in charge. I want to give up. I work too much. I should be thankful for my jobs but I miss my family.

Yesterday

I was so busy living yesterday that I didn't post about it...







Fun at church and at home. Evan, Connor, and Danny are missing from the pictures but they were at their homes with their dads....

Penguin Party at the library


The five youngest of my brood got to break ice burgs, eat snacks, and decorate some crafts. I think it is pretty cool that my kids were confused by blue juice (Kool-aid) that was arctic water. They knew it wasn't natural. They didn't even eat all the cookies and candy given out.

Full Moon Fun

We had a very informal family bonfire and full moon celebration today at our church's fire pit. The kids had fun. The moon rose beautifully.  The night wasn't too cool even though it rained earlier. All in all it was nice.

Gourd


The bright green gourd that decorated the porch has dried out. The kids helped me cut it open and remove the seeds. We tossed the seeds into our wild area. Maybe we will get some gourds growing next years. I cut a hole in it and placed it in the large shrub the kids like to climb. Maybe a bird will make a nest in it next Spring. ....

Saturday fun

We headed to Chilton County today. We found a nice playground for the kids to play at. My main goal though was to find a harvested cotton field so the kids could pick up some left over raw cotton. They had a lot of fun. They explored the field and we even brought cotton wood and roots home. We planted the roots and dug out some seeds. Let's see if we can't grow our own cotton....

I took the rest of the sunny afternoon to work on some sachets for a garland idea I have in my head for a while. Eliot, Etta, and Elaina helped.

Cokes at work.....

 I have been trying to drink less soda lately. A co-worker brought me a temptation. Thank you for the cokes.
