isnt that an amazing feeling?

[mary3mama]

Good morning mamas!
It is so beautiful here (WV near metro Wash DC) this morning. Yes, it is on its way to way toooooooo hot. But at the moment the sky is so lovely and clear and the birds are singing such beautiful songs.

We'll soon be closing up the house and hunkering down for another expected heat wave. But until then, I'll enjoy the breezes.

Off to the store to get mozzarella cheese...as requested by middle guy last night.

Ta!

[wombatclay]

Mornin' all!

And for my US friends... happy July 4th! Enjoy!

The drywall continues, there's a bbq at my MIL's, and dd2 is still asleep. The day is hot, sunny, and busy!

omg that was excellent!


Happy 4th mamas!

[Maiasaura]

That was freakin' awesome, Clay
Cari, I sent it to you through email...whoops

http://www.providingnews.com/declara...ence-text.html

This is one amazing document. M says it's the most eloquently written F-U letter ever
I'm truly amazed that we won, kwim? If I get everything done today that I want to get done, I will watch The Patriot. I watch it every year for the 4th, but haven't been able to get around to it today.

If the Evil Walmart is open, I have to get ds some more socks. I packed every pair for his camping trip next week--which means he has none for this week. Where do they all go??

[_ktg_]

Morning Mamas! Just in time for a quick pop in and a glance to catch up.

Boo to the car woes, breakdowns, thievery and all that ick! Though thank gods & goddess for the pint of B&J

Maia- to you for M. The ups & downs must be very hard particularly for you, be gentle with yourself and let me know if you need any strength sent


We're in the heat here, building the brickpath way I tore up 1 year ago. It's going back in right, or mostly right. We have 7' down and 28 more to go.

I hope everyone has a wonderful 4th and enjoy the fireworks and celebrations for today!

[Maiasaura]

Well, ktg, you're 1/4 of the way there!

Sure, strength and energy's never turned down Thanks! Send it up MA way, since I'll be getting on the plane RIGHT NOW this time tomorrow!
I so, so, so can't wait

[femme_rouge]

Happy 4th US mamas.

Wombat- that was a great link. Waiting for DH to wake up, so I can share it with him.
Maia-Safe travels tomorrow, and good luck with the ongoing journey with M
ktg-Happy bricking. Or at least swift and straight. Sounds like some icey lemonade is in order.
mary3mama-singing birds and yummy cheese. You're off to a good start.
Hugs to all! Some cars need to start behaving themselves. Yay to awesome kid friendly backyards. Hanging with our SO while watching the littles play. Roadside B&J. Beautiful rituals and other goodness.

I'm in S.F. on a little family trip. Sipping coffee (need to go get some real stuff soon), enjoying the quiet as the children are magically sucked into hotel TV, and about to plan our day. We saw Peter Pan 360 yesterday, and I loved it. We were in the 2nd row and really close to the action. The special effects were fun, but best of all was getting all teary over and over while watching my kiddos experience the magic. When Tink died, my DS was so serious and mesmerized. Then he joined in with such intent, "I believe in fairies, I believe in fairies, I believe in fairies!" Then the biggest beaming smile as she woke up and began to fly.

Wishing everyone a lovely day with a sprinkle of magick somewhere

[ian'smommaya]

good morning everyone. femme rouge, i lived in the s.f bay area for a total of 7 or 8 years. i still love it. were are having a bbq this evening not to celebrate the fourth but just because. i know its gonna be super humid and pretty hot here. its gonna be a great day.

[Ambystoma]

Happy 4th for those of you in the US (and well, still a happy Sunday to anyone else)!

I took Aengus for his 1st trip to the natural history museum today, but he was unimpressed. The glowing planets were entertaining for him, however.

It is getting to be unbearably hot here. Even the locals are complaining. Please let this possible move work out! I can't live here another year. I want snow this winter!

femme rouge --the peter pan story with your DS was too sweet. If only we didn't lose that childlike ability to believe as we age. I believe in fairies, too! Which reminds me, I need to touch up my fairy house in the back...

[Aeress]

Dropping in today, the kids are still at my Mom's, so I am taking a me day. I going to buy some beads and fabric so I can make a head dress (headdress?) for my costume.

Clay- Hey you beautiful Goddess of books, what do you know about the vikings and their beliefs? How about dress? We have the opportunity to attend a viking celebration this month.

Cars going wonky stinks, hope they are up and running and didn't cost a fortune.

Home Invasion- Don't forget to cleanse and protect the house...wish I knew a spell.

Maia- enjoy your time with M!

[wombatclay]

Hey there you gUUUUUUUyyyyys! (yes, the girls have been watching Electric Company ;lol)

Pagan Summer Camp 2010 is up!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Vikings! squee bibble! There are actually a few really nice "quick start" websites for people recreating Norse life... Gael Agus Gall, the Viking Answer Lady (who is a total blast and seriously knowledgable to boot), the Viking Food Guy, and Hurstwic. Those sites all have info on clothing, belief, food, culture... but the viking era is popular in the SCA too so if you google "viking apron dress" you'll get gobs of sources.

Maia- good luck, have fun!

thanks you so much, we know a cleansing spell but i dont know the words in english or i would share it. were doing sage and lemongrass misters and burning and having people come over alot to cleanse our home too.

last night was loverly. we had a nice bbq, and ate outside, my family tested my essential oil bug spray and it worked well. really well. the dogs were V. worried about the noises tho.

[_ktg_]

Morning Ladies! I'm here cuppa in hand, omelet beside me catching up!
- though I know you are on a plane - yay for DS's approval!! that is awesome! and I'll send some your way too

Clay -woot for camp!! I got my bag packed and I'm all shiny new ready to go!

Femme - the Peter Pan story.

Val - sounds like you had an amazing experience!

Ian'smommy - yikes!!! I'm glad to hear no one was hurt

Gun - see above re: car, and for the new playset. I could not imagine not having one with our boys. We've managed to rig up the slide into a homemade waterslide with a kiddie pool at the bottom.

Off to go and check-in for camp and I have ideas for stuff to "just do it" NOW for me today!

[DaughterOfKali]

Can't catch up so just saying hi and giving everyone a hug.

[BellaLuna Rayne]

Hi all. Wish I could catch up, but I have been working so much lately thanks to someone quitting @ another center. Which means my manager has to go up there and help out.

I need to get back to studying, but that's hard to do with DBF here watching movies, etc.

Hope all is well for everyone!

[femme_rouge]

Yay Camp! I'll be over soon. Had a nice morning and now the kiddos are playing kitties outside meowing and drinking out of their little kitty bowls. I've been instructed to bring them out some meat since they're carnivores.

iansmommasya- what's in the bug spray? Mind sharing?

Ambystoma- good luck on the move possibility. I hope you get your snow.

Off to camp, then garden.

[ian'smommaya]

not at all. in a witch hazel base add essential oils i added geranium, spearmint, lavender, citronella, rosemary. and shook it up.

[Maiasaura]

HI mamas!! I am in Boston. Well, leaving We had a bit of a screw-up with holiday times (forgot that the trains would be on a holiday schedule) so M was not able to meet me, and I'm doing the train thing all by myself

I'm really glad I did this a bunch of times with M. I can navigate an airport with my eyes closed; I can drive anywhere, but this train/bus thing...ye Gods. I'd have been utterly petrified if I hadn't done this with him a lot. I'm feeling totally confident, though, and I'm on the last leg and I've done it!

He's been an absolute wreck-- he gets nervous so easily. I thought it would ruin our whole day, but he's bounced back and he's staying at home in the A/C, which is good. He wilts in heat. I do, too, but it's gawd-awful for his leukemia.

So...instead of seeing him at 2, it'll be more like 7 but I don't care. I'm just glad to see him So yay!
Thanks for all the well-wishes, mamas

[Maiasaura]

Oh yeah-- I brought my computer so I'll be able to check in with y'all while I'm here. This is so funny, using my computer on a train.

I know it's called a LAPtop for a reason but I never bring it anywhere. Too much of a PITA. I brought it this time because M is a computer whiz and he's going to clean it up for me and maintain its...(cleanliness? ).

I really want one of those teeny little computers. Have y'all seen those? They're so cute. They can fit in a purse. Me want!!
