since I popped on here to post or surf around... there has been lots going on here.  We are moving in 10days as the owner of our house has decided to sell (for an absurd price at that..good luck to them lol)  We're moving to a lovely house a little more 'country' than the cookie cutter suburb we live in now .. with a wood stove (and air conditioning lol) and a big country kitchen =) and a playhouse in the yard for the kids.  It's smaller than this place, but just perfect... really feels like home.  Must plan a home cleansing & blessing now =)

 We've also decided to homeschool mr 5 for the next couple of years at least... he spends so much time out of school sick that when you factor in the bullies on the schoolyard and the fact that he really is ahead of the work they are doing (and thus bored & misbehaving) he's just going to do better at home.   So far it's going really well!

 And on a less positive note, I found out my mother has what is most likely terminal cancer.  She has started chemo & is doing positive visualizations but the docs are only expecting it to buy her time... I'm fully hoping for a 'miracle'  I was in shock for a week or so, but I'm trying to cope because she needs me to.  Trying to see it as a natural part of life.. but with her being 53 it's easier said than done....  Think positive thoughts my friends.
