Hey y'all, been gone for some time *again*. Internet was sketchy for awhile.
Â
Some of you may remember me as Frodo from way way back. I updated my account as "FrodoLives!" and then lost internet again. Now I'm back, because I'm pregnant again, with Baby Number Three!
Â
Those of you who remember me from way back may want to be sure you're sitting down. Damien is now 14! He's in the 8th grade. Shakti is 9 and in 4th. We stopped homeschooling after the my apartment burned down several years ago. We're now living in Olean, NY. and the schools are OK, I guess. Not as good as Rondout Valley, but better than Rochester. Of course, a stick in the eye is better than Rochester public high schools, unless your kid is lucky enough to get into SOTA or the School Without Walls. There don't seem to be many Pagan families in Olean, so we're kind of in the broom closet for now. There is an emerging UU congregation, but it's smaller than some covens I've known.
Â
Baby X is due in June, right before Shakti's birthday. We are planning on a C-section again (this issue is decided and not up for discussion or debate, thanks) because my blood pressure is still not in its happy place. I'm about 12 weeks, so of course we don't know the gender yet. (The pendulum says a girl, but the dreams say boy!) We do know there's only one in there, though. I'm almost 40, and there's almost 10 years between Baby X and Shakti, so I'm a little nervous.
