Lighting bugs, whipperwills and bobwhites

For those of you that live in places that do not have whipperwills they are bugs that make exactly that sound.
Whipper will... whipper will
bob white... bob white.

We also have bugs that are called bob whites. They are out in full circle as well.
It is wonderful living out here in the country when all the bugs and birds make noise. Went out to catch lighting bugs tonight with Bean. Were not very successful. I sure do not remember as a kid catching them to be so hard. Perhaps I was just faster then!

Thankfully for Beans sake we were able to catch one lighting bug. She put in it a jar and then felt bad 10 minutes later and let it go. Such a heartfelt little girl. We have spent the majority of the week outdoors. It has been hot and beautiful. Although I so much enjoy being out with her the house is a huge huge mess!

Oh well your kids are only little once and only want to play with you for alittle while!

So that was my night, just wanted to quickly update!

In love and light,

Anything but ordinary

My life lately has been anything BUT ordinary. In fact these few weeks have been really trying times. Petey's family has been ... well let's put it this way. It is one thing to crap on us but when you say to a 6 year old child "I am sorry that your parents are such terriable people", well then you hit a spot with me that very few go. In fact those were the exact words of his sister in law.

I am the type of person that usually does not air my stinky laundry to those around me. Yet this is my place to write and vent. Oh how I need to vent.

I am also the type of person who loves people, gives them chances to prove that they are not boobs. I am not the type that follows the "Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me." There is no twice. There is no one and a half for that matter.
I have been doing really well backing Pete up when it comes to all of the crap we are going through but have just said enough is enough. Does not mean that I love pete anyless it simply means that I know exactly what it is like to have family who shits on you.

When that was said to Bean a million things rushed back into my heart. All of the crap that I was put through as a kid with Dads side of the family hit hard and I will be damned it Bean will go through that as well. They are NEVER welcome into my home again. I may not be able to protect my kids when they leave this front door, in which they make their own choices and parents pray that they make the right ones.
This is the safe haven. This is the spot that they are protected and do not have to worry about getting hurt. So they will NEVER set foot into this house again.

**Wipes foreheard**

Alright enough with that.

Beans party was saturday. It was so cold and rainy that we had to have it inside. Sadly not too many kids showed up, in fact just one from school and two of our friends children. She had the best time. Rain or no rain! She does not quite grasp that your birthday is only one day. She wants to celebrate all week long! Does not work that way sister! She is getting so tall and lanky. Goo on the other hand for sure takes after my side of the family. He is round and chunky. Why is it that as a baby chucky and chubby is cute yet when you are an adult it just isn't? Giggles

The weather was lovely yesterday. Even though the entire family is sick (We just keep passing it around to each other) we spent most of the day outside. In the pool and the waterslide. We even had a picnic and simply enjoyed being together on the warm summer day. I tried putting Magoo into the pool. How funny! He hated it. Screamed the entire time until I took him out and wrapped him into a blanket. He was the only one that did not get sunburnt! Thank Goddess. Yes it is GODDESS not Goodness. I had someone the other day tell Me that I mispelled it. Smiles... I wanted to clear it up for her!

We are getting better slowly... but surely. Getting a cold in the summer seems to be the worst type. Does not seem to go away like it should. Yet I have been catching up on some of my reading so that is a good thing. Reading the best book at the moment.

The ultimate guide to Goddess Empowerment
Sophia

It goes through all of the Goddess's and their charateristics. It really is a wonderful book and one I would recommend to anyone that enjoys that type of thing. I tried to get my mom to read it.... no go!

Slowly getting my store up and running on Ebay. Once it is all finished I will send the link to those that want it. Of course I will send the link even if you don't in hopes that I am not wasting my time and will make some money!

That is it for now.... a vent post that really did not make any sense at all!

In love and light

Lullaby

They did not have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
I hear your laugh like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough?
Cause I am never giving you up
I slip into bed when you are asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on Me
Tomorrow there will be so much to do
Tonight I will drift in a dream with you
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough?
I am never giving you up.
As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you are miles away
Hear my voice like a serenade
How long do you want to be loved?
Is forever enough?
Is forever enough?
I am never giving you up.

Forever and a day

I can not believe when I looked to see the last time I had written it had been a week. Gosh!
Chalk it up to Goo and I both being terribly sick and just now feeling better. I hate when I am sick, but when one of the kids are sick it makes it 10 times worse!
Beans birthday is tomorrow and she is so excited. You would think she was getting ready to win the lottery or something!

I really do not have the energy to sit and write tons. Just wanted ya'll to know that we were okay on this end of the earth!

Until later
The Mom
