wrapping my children in bubble wrap
June 2, 2008 at 5:16 PM e just came in SCREAMING and BLEEDING. no worries folks, nurse jenica fixed her right up. after washing the two cuts out, the bleeding stopped with just a little bit of pressure. i secretly wanted her to have to get stitches for it simply because she'd have the greatest story to tell: she cut herself with a blade of grass while she was dancing and twirling outside. nothing a little lavender oil couldn't fix up!
i've been a little bent as of late. i'm frustrated with a whole slew of things: landscaping woes being first and foremost, followed closely by my relationship with god, then my relationship with family, then my relationship with my house and it's unwillingness to just stay clean. i feel like i can't really do anything. i can't take a step forward without it being the wrong one. it's all piling on; making me feel very much like moving to the wilderness and becoming a hermit. a hermit with wireless internet.

Let me know if you find any huge mountain houses miles from anyone we know and im totally in for being neighbors....of course is its as secluded as i would want from the world we would have to hike 3 miles to the next house and see each other. and im okay with that.
well first off..your kids are ADORABLE! oh my word! and second i know of a few great hermit type places!:) one is tropic utah, it seems like there should be a lot of action, yet i have yet to see people in yards or houses or parks! (that is where we are moving)
You are too cute! I love reading your blog. You're such a great writer and your kids are so, so, SO cute!! Too bad about the stitches...that really would have been a great story!
Maybe if you let the city know about the dangers of grass, they'll back off and let you live happily ever after with your cars parked wherever you want. I mean... think about how many deadly blades you'll have growing in your yard!
It makes perfect sense to me!
oh honey. life. life. at least you have your priorities straight! he he.
I'll join you in hermitness. Far enough away, of course, that we can still be actual hermits, without the unpleasantness of never seeing anybody ever.
I feel your frustration.
Also: Spring City?! Why did we not coordinate? Chances are that in 15 years we'll hopefully be living in the same tiny town. K's parents own an old schoolhouse there (they moved it stone by stone from Chester and rebuilt it) and so they're down there all the time. I wish I had seen you! I almost bought a ton of old keys, but, well, I already have an entire bunch, so I thought I should refrain.
I would love to talk hippie herbs. Any advice you have for body-generally-falling-apart would be fantastic.
Yeah - I hear you loud and clear.
We all have those days, ok, maybe not me, but I usually don't care too much about what the house looks like and how "clean" it is. lol. There are days that I'd like to run away too, doesn't everyone?
