La luna (part 2). Today on the way home from preschool, the little dude says from the back seat. I miss la luna". This is the 2nd time he's mentioned. As of late. the weather has been hit and miss in seattle and our nights have been filled with dark starless skies. the one night it was clear, was the night of the new moon, so of course, we could not see her. My little guy, you're in for a treat. Connected. all living things. connected. Links to this post. A few days later. The thoughtful note from that s...

Wake up naked drinking coffee making plans to change the world. While the world is changing us, it was good good love. You used to laugh under the covers,. Maybe not so often now. But the way I used to laugh with you,. Was loud and hard. I want you not to go, but you should. One week ago you opened a door and another closed. all that was now feels like a dream. we are waking up. what will we find? What will become of you? We went to mexico. the first time we sat. a future was born. the second...I think i...

Challenged the clouds and eventually won, leaving us with a beautiful first day of fall. eager to get outside and enjoy the crisp, sunshine air i asked the little dude if he'd like to go to the zoo, to which he replied,. No the zoo is closed, yeah it's closed today". So not true, but his favorite response to things he doesn't want to do). Nooooo, sorry mama, we can't go there, it's closed.". Well those were some of my ideas, what ideas do you have? Hmmmmoh i know, we could make a wind farm". When i watch...

bgrateful: a season
http://bgrateful.blogspot.com/2010/03/spring.html
A new season is here, arriving suddenly and slowly at the same time. winter slipped by, leaving a chill deep down in my core. identifying its source gave me inspiration on how to create some heat. slowly i warmed up, fears began to melt away. ideas and hopes grew with the promise of change. A landing is inevitable. where, remains to be seen. The world can overwhelm me. There's almost nothin' that you could tell me. That could ease my mind. Which way will you run. When it's always all around you.

http://bgrateful.blogspot.com/2010/09/berries-and-bnsf.html
What do you do when you just aren't sure what to do, or don't want to face what you need to face, at least not yet. a way to pass time when you still want to revel in those quiet peaceful moments that allow you to suspend the reality of days ahead? Requirements for sweet success:. Buckets, a yellow dog, boys and a van. oh and a secret train viewing spot for the little train lover is a bonus! Life is just better in a westy. need i really say more? Of course i have no snaps of the action, it's tough to sho...

bgrateful: first grade
http://bgrateful.blogspot.com/2010/09/first-grade.html
How is it possible that this little boy. Is now this little boy. I welcome the change and mourn the loss all at once. There would be a rainy day recess since a big playground is simply too overwhelming for this sensory child. We wait in the gym for the teachers to line up. ridiculous. I think. just let us walk our kids to their class. These are the moments that grate on me, making me want to scream, don't you get it people, we need some calm order here! 9/10/10, 6:20 PM. Same saying, different words.

Always proves to be an interesting and awakening time. we've all been told that challenges provide us an opportunity for growth. if this is true, i've got some serious growing pains! And this is my life. how i live it, is up to me. So to add a bit of sugar to this sometimes sour recipe, i thought it wise to go back to the tried and true - write a list of pros and cons. Time to unwind and veg out on my own. Free reign in my kitchen. As much dead as i feel like playin. No one to unwind with at days end.

Daddy day - why bother. So the typical conversation (conversation is a stretch here) with the little dude's dad usually goes something like this. Sometime mid-week, sometime mid-month.after several emails requesting a tiny bit of information, merely an idea of when he might be in town, to which i get no reply. oh how i refrain from going on and on here. I am on my way.i really hope you'll let me see him, it is THE ONLY reason i am making the trip. When will you be here? Uh-huh, okay, so lets say 9:30.

When i was little my parents had this great piece of land (and eventually a cabin). And then waiting for it to go back out for more beach combing to begin. I'd forgotten how great this ritual was. i was happily reminded this past weekend as i spent the afternoon painting rocks with the little dude and his pal- could there be a better way to spend a sunny sunday afternoon? The magic memories of treasure island and days gone by have resurfaced and in turn, will now create new memories of days to come.
