I wish she knew that you should always carry important stuff like that in your purse/carry on when traveling.

Good on your brother.

Do I have a right to be angry about this? wwyd?

I can see how you would be upset, so would I. I think though that my DH would have most likely done something similar. He would have seen how our child reacted but then he would have said something.

I'm a loud, in-yo-face mama, but I also can be diplomatic, not usually mean. I'd be something like "Hey, you, that's totally uncool. Did you realize you're being really mean to ds? How about you try it <insert way here> this way instead? DS, is that kid's behavior alright with you? How would you rather see him act?" Kind of like that.
And then help them try out the new way.

This is me too

Hey my B-Day is Dec. 06 and my kids Nov. 18

How wonderful

[Valerie.Qc]

I can't stay away either.

Welcome Grahnola Mum!


My 5yo wants to get married... NOW!!!

She dressed herself with her bright pink princess dress, untangled her hair, put a tiara, drew a love declaration for a little boy(6yo) we know and is asking that we go NOW to the village and get them married!

What is the hurry???

"Mom, when I'll be an adult, this dress won't fit me anymore."




Then she goes on and on about how she doesn't want to kiss boys, only girls...


Interresting day ahead since we are bound to see the little boy at the firefighter's kid challenge this afternoon.

[femme_rouge]

Morning...waiting for coffee

Cari- I'm so happy your ds arrived safely, and now your all together. How's he doing?
Valerie-That's cute about your dd. what did the boy say to the proposal? My 6 yo "gets married" to her girlfriends all the time when they play. Sometimes I officiate.
Mo3- How exciting to hear the heartbeat and neat about the rainbow. Yay babies!
Dok-Hugs for your mama. Poor thing.
Maia-How are you and M this morning?
Grahnola mum-Welcome! The more the merrier. I started on this thread at the beginning of my path too. Everyone here was so patient and generous answering questions and sharing.

Grandma's taking the kids for the day and overnight. TY Grandma! DP and I are going to rehearse, clean, get ready for camping and go to the theater tonight.
I'm wanting to do a releasing ritual on the new moon which will be our first night camping. Need a little time to plan...
Hoping everyone has a good day. Happy Saturday

Oh, that is just too cute! Great logic, that kid has. What did you say back?

Thank you for asking. We're fine. He did what he said he was going to do; they stayed home and went to bed around 1:30am. They were up by 9:15 or so. He's feeling fine. I'm alright.

But I did call him on being drunk by 6:30pm and driving up to J's house I couldn't have said anything in the moment, because he would have 1) denied it, 2) gotten mad, and 3) possibly hung up on me, which would have blown the whole thing right out of the water.

He was trying to get in a fight with some idiot in J's parking lot, while waiting for J-- I kept hearing him say "What're you looking at?" in a very let's-scrap sort of voice. He's "fighting-Irish" all the way and it wasn't 2-1/2 hours previous that I reminded him he's not in high school anymore and is way too old for that kind of juvenile behavior

So I'm glad he stayed on the phone with me, because I was able to talk him down and not try to start something with the guy. Who probably didn't even realize he was looking at M-- was probably looking through him

Anyway, he's fine ~wipes brow~ but I so wish he would realize he can't be doing this anymore. Not a dang thing I can do about it, though. He has his own higher power and it's not me. As long as he stays home and stays safe, I guess I don't mind (as much) putting up with it. That may, and likely will, change, if the day ever comes when we live together, though.

Public ritual today!

Oh, and the new moon is indeed the 9th, not the 8th like I thought. It doesn't start till 11pm, though, I think. For those of you astrologically inclined, is this true? Will it still be alright to do my house-selling spell during the day on Monday? Or should I wait till Tuesday? It has to be in the daytime so DS has somewhere to be and I can be alone.

ETA: M just called me back. He took J home and he's feeling really lousy. Not physically, just guilty and horrible What can I say? It's not my path. He knows I have almost 16 years and I think that's part of why he feels bad: I'm a mirror
I feel bad that he feels bad-- but again, there's nothing I can do. I love him regardless. I think he feels bad about that, too. Sigh.

[femme_rouge]

Maia- I'm sorry your both going through a rough time today. Do you mind if I offer a thought? It seems like you're really grounded in your own recovery, and M can learn a lot from you. OTOH, as you know his recovery is his experience, and I wonder about you helping him manage his drinking by being on the phone with him, talking him down, etc. I wonder if this could possibly interfere with the natural consequences of his choice to drink. Maybe making it slightly more comfortable? I can only imagine how difficult it must be to "see" him doing something or about to do something that could hurt himself, but sometimes those can be the moments that inspire the desire to change. IDK.. Please feel free to blow me off if you don't agree. There's just no easy way, is there? Take care of yourself.

Any and all thoughts are welcome. I take what I like and leave the rest

That said-- there are certain consequences of his drinking that I'm not down with, and could have dire consequences for both of us. I don't mind the feeling bad, the guilt, the physical ickiness, but legal issues aren't a go. So no, no scrapping. If he wants to get piss-drunk at home, that's fine (well...), but no fighting. I will continue to talk him down from that, if necessary.

I'm really pissed at him for driving, too. But you're right, there's not a thing I can do about it. I can speak my piece, but in the end, he chooses his behavior, and by doing so, chooses the consequences.

[unschoolinmom]

I have been eating horribly during this pregnancy. I HATE eating McDonalds but I craved an angus (I don't even like beef) and just devoured the burger.

I had to get a few more things from the store and we are ready for the new school year to start Sept. 1st.

Maia-(((hugs)))

[aweynsayl]

seriously. i can be on the computer, hitting "user cp" over and over and there will be no posts on the thread. then, ONE day i cant be on, and there are 5 bazillion posts. balance, people? balance?

mamaofthree~ oh, momma. we so need a coffee date, you and me. if you want to extended vent/go thru the whole "wanted xyz life, moved away to make it happen, had to move back, feeling lost...." conversation, i'm here, and i've been going thru it for a while longer than you, so i'm probably a few steps ahead-- not sure if that would help or not, but i'm here if you want. (and it seems like i'll be up in your neck of the desert later this month.... if you wanted to get together.)

witchygrrl~ thanks for your lovely and very accurate description of rachel maddow! she's sassy and so good humored to boot. awesome way to get the news (that, plus jon stewart. )

aubergine, thinking of you, sweet one! hope you have a wonderful time with family, celebrating the life of a wonderful woman. <hugs>

FR~ um. "relaxing"... well, the house we're in NOW is now clean... all i said was i wouldnt work on or think about OUR house..... yes, i'm a dork. sigh.

DOK, oh geez. what a trip. she must feel so ill-fated. i've had moves like that. it's really hard to bounce back from. sending fast resolution vibes!

Grahnola Mum~ welcome! newbies are always welcome! clay's a bit snowed under, but she'll point you to some awesome mdc resources... there are book rec threads, and there's "camp".... which someone will mention at some point. we just finished this summer's camp, and i think in the first thread there are links to the other years of camp... there are some good ideas in them for the "yes, but what do pagans really DO..." types of things, might be a nice place to get a feel for stuff, if you like.... if you browse back in this forum, you should be able to find the camp threads we just finished.....

maia, huge hugs hon. hang in there..... i'm really feeling the turn, too, and it's still 105+ here. although i think today it's only supposed to be 91!

hugs and vibes and wonderful happyness to all~

[aweynsayl]

new moon articles are up on mooncircles! deep astrological breaths......


there's also a lot of good stuff on tracy's blog right now.....

[_ktg_]

Morning or afternoon ladies! Yay for safe travels and boo for lost/stolen luggage. DOK - for your mom on this journey she's making. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel for her on this.

Welcome Grahnola Mum! I'm relatively new here too, but these ladies are fabulous!!!


Ok the boys are with me and clearly made some requests! Enjoy and I'll be back after canning some cherries!

Well, at least you know she's got some sense.

I think it should be fine on Monday if that's what works better for you because you'll probably still be in the dark moon time until 11pm. If you wait til Tuesday, the moon should be growing by then so I would word the spell in a way that reflects what you want from the house-selling, not the actual selling. That's just me, tho. I would personally do a spell for getting rid of something (ie selling a house) during a waning moon, but it's all about the wording.

about your dp sitch. You sound so strong in your love. That's so nice to read.

I understand! My last baby made me crave McD's like nobody's bizness. My mom would laugh so hard when I lamented the situation b/c I hate McD's. It's normal for me to have a taste for their food once in a while, but my last pregnancy made me want McD's every day. It drove me nuts! (And, emptied my wallet. )

That Big Breakfast, tho? I mean...never mind. I can't think about it.

Happy Saturday, everyone! Hope you enjoy it. I'm gonna sit on my butt today.

[unschoolinmom]

I'm exhausted. I guess I'll take an iron pill. Right now I'm waiting until 3:30 to pick dh up from work and then back home to continue working on this baby sleeper. I'm crocheting a blue and brown one and then knitting a blue and white one.

I made wonton soup for the kids' lunch which they loved and I'll probably eat the left overs. Tonight's dinner is brown sugar meatloaf, made with ground turkey.

Just offering food for thought. Of course, you're the one in your life, so you know what's best.

Off for the day. Lots to do.

[Aeress]

Hey Ladies, my witchyness shone through today as I canned some pickles and now I am reading a great tapping article "In My Mind, Body, Soul, and Energy;

I Release the Idea that I Am Wrong.
I Release the Vibration of Being Wrong.
I Release Wrongness from My Soul.
I Release the Energy of Wrongness.

I Understand that I Am Right.
I Am Being Right. I Am Rightness.
My Soul Moves into Rightness.
I Have the Energy of Rightness."

Now I am about to lead the kids in a small house/yard cleansing/blessing.

Reading about the joys of families reunitied, the business of life, the illness and sadness of those who need healing and keeping you all in my heart, mind and prayers.
