Ramblings of a Pagan house wife.

My thoughts are in a bit of a disorganized mess. But I'm going to attempt to put them down here. If this post doesn't make any sense to anyone else but myself, I apologize.

Homeschooling is going well, but I feel like we don't have enough time in our day. I want to add more things to our schedule such as sewing, crochet, and daily exercise. I've been put in charge of a K12 Virtual Academy group on Cafemom. I'm enjoying helping the group become more active. I do this while Sierra is doing her lessons and she is able to work alone btw.  I've thought about getting up earlier but I can't force myself to because I always end up staying up late at night with Wyatt.

I've been thinking a lot about my maternal grandmother. I never really knew her. When I was about 4 or 5 she died. I think she had heart disease. Which makes me think of my own mother. I haven't seen her in two years. While I'm not the type to cling to my mother, I do miss her. I also miss my dog who lives with my mom.

I've also had a lot of bad dreams lately. I started to make a dream catcher for myself but of course Sierra has to poke her nose in and want it. So I just gave up and gave it to her. We still have to finish it today as part of her art project.

Yesterday I wanted to get out of the house so my kids and I went to Inanna's Spiritual Center. The topic of the day was about poverty, which wasn't terribly interesting to me since I've lived in poverty and don't particularly like to think about it.

After the service the temple owner wanted to brain storm on ways to advertise the center for free or low cost. My suggestion was to do trade shows and festivals. So we'll see if she does that. Hopefully she does.

She also mentioned that I should get away, and that she was planning another woman's retreat in a few months. I don't know about going because I honestly don't get along with a lot of women. I'm one of those women who make friends with men before I'll make friends with another woman. But she is right, I need time to just be me. Not mom, not wife, just ME!

What are you up to this weekend?

I've been taking some me time lol. I was a bit sick, so Jacob threaten vicious pranks if I didn't stay in bed. I'm better now.

I hope you find ways to fit more things in your daughter's school day, but don't overdo it--you don't want to get tired of it and not have fun.

Give yourself that me time. I'm not sure how, but you needed... maybe that would help you sleep ;-)

I spent yesterday watching movies and reading but I still couldn't sleep. I stayed up till around 3am reading The Scottish Prisoner by Diana Gabaldon.
The interesting question, most often, is: Why is it more difficult for you to be friends with other women? It might be interesting to go on a retreat just to find out.

(I used to make friends with guys more easily, but that has changed by now. I can make friends with about anyone if I want to - most often I just don't care enough. Bad woman. ^^ )

Oh I know why. I am anti-social by nature. I don't make friends easily but I am more tom boy than girly girly so I relate better to men. I'd rather talk about a motorcycle than makeup brands. lol
Same here. And with most women I know. Rather than makeup, they like to talk: Science, technology, comics, animals, music, cars, pets, history, weapons, magic, books, foreign cultures, ... Many women resort to makeup and such because they think that's what they are "supposed to" talk about. They figure it's a safe topic. (I prefer to ask tons of silly questions until they get annoyed and start talking about what they really like.)
