I always have a hard time picking titles for posts, especially when Im on more of a ramble than an actual topic. The kids are doing well, though I'm having a rough time with my 15 year old. I'm sending him to stay with his dad for a while. I'm hoping that he hates it there enough that he begs to come back with a true intend to behave himself. And if not, if he actually enjoys it there, well then... I guess that's good too.

Dante and Demetrio have been a handful lately. To be expected I guess, two boys 16 months apart. Demetrio insists on climbing on the table as soon as I leave the room to do anything. Lovely. He has at least cut down on his snail eating. Quite disgusting  having to scrape snail pieces out of his mouth. Even though we have a small yard, it just takes him bending down, pretending to smell flowers to trick me. Suddenly, he's crunching away. Lovely.

I'd love to find some nice books for the kids. Spiritual but not uber-Christian... not in the way that teaches anything literally anyhow. Gentle bible myths are fine however. I have 'All I See is Part of Me' and it's quite nice. It's spiritual, but very generic. However, even with the non-denominational aspect it has a nice mystical feel to it. I enjoy reading it each time I pick it up.

I have a little picture of Jesus with a child that came with a Rosary I ordered some time ago. Dante was looking at the picture and said 'Papa?' LOL... the long hair I guess. I said "No, that's Jesus" and he said "Jesus? Jesus Mama?" It was cute really. He doesnt say LOTS of things, and every time he copies words it makes me so happy. I have quite a few books about with biblical scenes on  them and he thinks everyone with long hair is either Jesus, or Papa. :)

    ROFL at the snails. Luka used to lick everything - bus shelters, walls, people's elbows. Now he sinks his teeth into his bunk bed rail. Apparently, I used to do the same. I've turned out OK so I'm trying not to stress too mcuh about him.

    Also, I used to think my mum's cousin Gordon, was God. He had long hair in his graduation photo and I just assumed he was God and Gordon was just another pronunciation.

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...
