Darning

I recently taught myself. Practicing on these baby/toddler socks that were my son’s and now fit my daughter. It’s more or less a sock again. Feels good to do things that create more life in othe...

Forest School pics

I sort of just realized we’d been doing forest school for almost 2 months now and I never posted about it. Lol. It is SO MUCH FUN. And the late summer/autumn is just beautiful - my second favor...

Category D

There are the 3 or so commonly cited and dare I say generally accepted attachment disorders. That is, aside from secure attachment (healthy) there are 3 categories of disordered attachment. Anxio...

Public Schools

are prisons. There is a neat side by side comparison on YouTube that I watched years ago (no I’m not going to find and link it, do you really think I have that much energy?) that featured public...

Car, homemaking, and Friend

DH blitzed a deer last night. My poor car is totaled. I’m a little sad, in a sentimental way, just because it was the first car I ever bought - only car?!- and I have a ton of memories and shenan...


I’m still sad. I still feel melancholic. I am still down. But, I feel a lot better, today. DH and I had a pretty intense weekend. lol. It started out in crisis. Ended with sober and honest expre...

Homemaking

I’m taking a class by Lifeways. It’s supposed to be a social class but no one else joined yet. It just started today and goes for 3 weeks, so lots of time to see who will be joining. More or less...

Waldorf & Sleep

I was really attracted to Waldorf more for the philosophical aspects, but holy hell has it turned out to be a Godsend in my life. About 3? or 4 months ago I got more serious about putting in pla...

Please, tell me

who is more responsible? The tween who makes a bad decision, or their parents? I’m continually blown away by the blindness of otherwise reasonable and responsible people to parental responsibilit...

When I was Young

I thought that writing was a great way to get the usuless thoughts out of my brain so I could think more clearly. I still kinda think that. BIL and BM just announced they’re engaged to be married...

Refreshed

Is how I feel, I think. The last few nights have been more or less sleepless because we decided it was time for Lexi to move into her own bed. She’s not happy about that to say the least. W is a...

DH is starting a

Business. I’m beyond ecstatic. Yesterday he brought up something about it, and we chatted. I won’t go into a lot of detail, but the topic was only tangentially related. He had a lot of risk-aver...

I Just Don't Know

what to say to oblivious people. I was in my yard yesterday feeding rabbits, watching my son and wearing my daughter when I noticed one of those little rat dogs come into my yard. My dog ran ove...

Projects

Almost forgot to post pics of my recent projects! I made the book with a download, cut and laminated everything, cut again, posted tiny Velcro dots and put it all together in a binder for my 3...

Hinging on

my earlier entry about what is difficult to accomplish is admirable, although not necessarily required for virtue, One of the things I noticed in church going women; they’re so far without except...

The world is

going to shit, as expected. A giant storm came through Thursday and took out trees and power lines for our county. Yes, our whole county. 200k+ households out on just one power supplier(ours). We...

Let Me Know

if this is too spicy… It doesn’t matter how moral or virtuous or pious you are- it only really matters how difficult it is for you to pursue those particular principles. So if you’re naturally u...

I love my brain

It’s a little funny that I recently have this appreciation, because for all my life I hated it. I should say, my parents and the authorities in my life hated it. They hated me. But, as an interna...

The storm

That just blew through was magical. I sort of used to wonder if the ecstasy of a good storm was all in my head. No one else seems to be very excited about them. I sense the storms coming and I lo...

Health

Mental health, Religious people are mentally healthier than non-religious. After reading Deuteronomy again recently, I can’t help but think on the bit about how the why God wants his followers to...

I'm getting old

And I think it has just begun to sink in. I have 2 kids and want more, but I’m seeing gray hair. My energy isn’t what it once was. I see lines on my face. My knees sometimes are so painful that I...

Settled

I recently picked up my journal from 2019, when I first began intense therapy in earnest. Having not been in therapy now for quite awhile, and having not felt any “need” for it possibly a few mon...

Real Estate

rental is soon to be a thing. We’re gearing up to move out of dodge and rent out our current home. It’s been 2 years, and honestly just a little bit bummed that my gardens and orchard are just ge...


My hatred for government before. But recently I have come to a deeper, far more holistic understanding of it’s evil. I’m it even sure that I want to write about it. It’s crimes are so gruesome, s...

Growth

It’s been while since I wrote publicly a reflection of my life. Having children makes us adults. I don’t care about anything a non parent has to say- about almost anything with the exception of ...
