It sounds a little too philosophical for me but I am a peacemaker and I like to knit and they sounded good together. I am a mom of two girls and married to a very handy guy. We have a crazy little Chihuahua named Manny and a really old German Shephard named Sam, Sam Shephard. We are big Red Sox fans so I thought that was why Danny, my dh, named the dog Manny but he says it's because the dog is like a little man. I am thinking Manny could use a little Prozac when we have folks over to visit. He goes a little nuts if people make sudden moves or laugh really loud. I posted him on petfinder.com yesterday but I am starting to doubt my ability to let him go.
I absolutely love reggae music. I like ska a lot and rock-a-billy too. I listen to music all of the time. I have started listening to books on tape too which is nice for when I am in the kitchen working or on a road trip. Love those road trips!

This week was rough. I do much volunteering, school stuff, daily errands, household management, community work that I hate when I make mistakes. I am so hard on myself. Noone would describe me as a perfectionist but there are days when I am running around trying to get everthing done and one mistake can change everything. It can make people look at you differently, it wastes gas, money,and time. It just seems like there was a lot of that this week. It's a bitter pill to swallow to feel that I let someone down or changed someone's perspective about me in a negative way. I got to the point this week when I felt like nothing could go right. What a crushing feeling.
So, the good thing that happened this week (I guess actually there were a few) is that I went to see Anne Mitchell and we hash everything out (realizing long ago that my allergies are my way of dealing with overwhelming stuff in my life) that I am having a lot of confusion because of geopathic stress, that is stress due to the house clutter. The really good thing is that I have been wanting to clear out so much stuff for so long and now I have another important reason to do it. I wouldn't miss anything if my house burned down and we all made it out alive. I just can't think of a thing. OK, so with that thought fresh on my brain I am off to load up the wagon! Hi Ho

It's a gorgeous October afternoon and the chickens are running around outside my window. Cleaned all morning. How freakin boring is that.
But I did listen to Noam Chomsky on NPR. I have no idea how to spell his name but I have heard it enough.
The cleanliness of my house definitely has the ebb and flow thing going on. I need to start a blog called 'touch my dust bunny' after the 'touch my belly' guy. One of my favorite sites next to 'you tube'.
I don't know anything about computers. When I was in college in the early 90's we learned computer animation in art class which was awesome and I was pretty good at it
but the whole 'link' thing and bells and whistles I just don't get. Someday. whatever about that.
I substitute teach sometimes and I really love it. It's for little kids and it's pretty far from my house but it doesn't matter b/c being around little kids is just an amazing experience. I just take it all in and can appreciate their sense of wonder and fantasy. It is crazy to me how we totally lose that as we grow up. I try to let my girls live with that sense of wonder and hope that they can tap into their creative minds as they mature.
Years ago I quit drawing. just quit. and I don't know if I can get it back. I am too self conscience i think. Sometimes I will just sit down and crank out a few beautiful charcoal drawings but that's it.
It's still inside of me. I crave it on a daily basis but man have I gotten good at ignoring hunger.
On that note I am signing off to go and pick up my two little chickadees from school. peace
