Home Alarm Systems

Who has a home security system?

I am thinking of getting one for the house, though I have a great fear of horribly LOUD things, and I KNOW that with a houseful of kids, it will get set off constantly... but I still think it might be a good idea.

I'm not afraid so much of someone breaking in when I'm not home, but I worry more about when I am home alone with the little ones. We had a sales guy from APX come by. After he left, (and NO I did not allow them to install a system in my home - though he had a tech on hand and was REALLY eager to do so) I researched them and saw that they have very bad reviews.

However, it got me thinking, and I called around to a few different places.

I called Columbia Security, ADT, Brinks, and VoxCom, (now Reliance Protectron). They offered me ten contacts for doors and windows - no motion detectors please, NOT with cats and dog, and kids wandering around all night- three key ring type thingies, keypad and brain thingy , for under 40.00/month. No installation or start up fee. The other places were similarly priced but offered less things, and the contacts for doors and windows are the most important to me.

Anyone with any thoughts on home security systems, please add a comment!!! Canadian based please, I reside in BC.

Now, Lammas is coming up and I feel so dreadfully horrid . I have not been celebrating lately. It's not that I can't combine Gnosticism and Witchcraft, it's just that I'm having a hard time combining lack of sleep, babies and Witchcraft.

I am tired of cooking, and the thought of doing a nice celebratory meal for a sabbat does not appeal to me. I think my blog title should be... 'Lazy Mother' or 'Non-Wicce Mother' these days.

Dante is finally saying a few things 'Up' (wow, HUGE vocabulary!), is the newest one. Demetrio gives kisses and is super quick on his belly! Commando crawling has been mastered by the little guy.

Oh, and now, to post pictures of the Soy Candles that Akashik and I made , and some new soaps:

Another year almost here

October 7th will be two years. Two years that she has been gone. I can't say I 'had' a daughter. That seems like such blasphemy. The correct term to me is 'HAVE' a  daughter. But she is no longer huggable. I can no longer hear her laughter or her voice. I can't look forward to any more of her accomplishments because there are none. Autumn again, and it's the same smell in the air. The same quirky wind and dampening light. The time of year I have always loved. Now it's also the time of year that I remember the knock on my door. The face that uttered words telling me she was gone. Autumn décor goes up, as does a sense of dread. Macabre song of leaves in the trees. This year also has included the end of my marriage. Though truthfully it ended long ago, it took a long time to realize that there was no light to sustain it. Just angry words and poison. Seeds from the harvest, in fruit that is past its time, Sink into the earth. From the decay comes life they...

Just another wordpress blog post

I've done pretty good with staying offline. I've reduced my time by about 80%. I just need to narrow down my time on here to quality activities. Blog updates and Spiral Inward message board :D (http://spiralinward.com) My icons from Istok.net arrived. Very beautiful. Ill add pics tomorrow. Our first official Mater Amabilis Narthex is tomorrow. There are three confirmed other than myself. Im pleased with that number. Good things start small. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and to get a good idea of where we want to go with this. I saw my boy tonight. My one who is with his dad right now. I went to watch his lacrosse game with my husband. It was a 4-4 tie and I was so stressed watching those last minutes I thought I was going to hyperventilate. LOL. It was 4-4 almost the whole last period. I hope he and I can work things out. If he wants to. I understand that maybe we just can't live together. He's almost 16 and all his life, behaviour has been a struggle. ...

Boring Post

But a post nontheless. Blogging is a good way to keep track of time and events in my life, especially because I have a bad memory.  So, let's see.... my son is selling e-cigarettes (one of my older sons), I bought my 3.5 year old new Thomas Train  boots. My 2 year old was jealous, but he has some prett awesome Lightening Mc Queen boots, so I just cleaned and buffed his up a bit, and now he thinks they're new too :D. My dad and grandparents came over yesterday... oh! and hubby and I had some wine to celebrate High Spring. We watched The Dark Knight ,because believe it or not, we hadn't watched it yet. I really liked it.  Dying my hair today, the greys are taking over.... hm. What else?  Found an awesome place on SL in a region that is part of the Eternity Sims. 50L per week. Tiny place, but the area is beautiful, the cabin is well done, and it has a day/night set that switches places with the touch of a button. I love the peeps in Eternity. Hopefully I will st...
