Cooler Weather!!

I love that the cool weather is finally  making an appearance... ask me by December and I will be crying for Spring and Summer lol. But for now it is fun soup weather and Halloween is coming and the girls are thrilled! I hope you all are well :)

Farmers Market!

Today I went to the Farmer's Market! The local Amish community was there! And I bought at least one of everything they had! I love the Amish! :) I also bought local eggs and meat, hormone and anti-biotic free! I will let you know how the meals go! And as soon as I can get a camera I will take some pics of my loot!

Oh the weather........

So today it is raining and we are enjoying a sporadic, but LOUD Thunder and Lightning storm! I don't mind the rain to much, however the thunder and lightning freak me out a bit... and of course I am always afraid of the tornado that *could* pop up at any moment!

I am trying to think of things that could keep us busy inside, but I am not getting any ideas that would take us further from the couch and watching movies :) And sneaking in a few random naps during said movie session. The girls are afraid of Thunder and Lightning. I don't blame them! It is loud and here it shakes our house!

So I have had an idea for a while and soon I will begin to compile it and either blog it or put it in a book. And I hesitate to say what it is, in case the extremely off chance a lot of people start reading here lol, and someone steals my idea. It is an idea my husband and I have been talking about for a while now and it is quite hilarious! I'll keep you posted!

Life....

So it has been A LONG time since I have "blogged". However in all fairness, my life has been a huge mess of excitement and then sadness.

So a few days after my last blog we discovered I was pregnant again. We were nervous as we have a history of bad pregnancies, loss due to genetic abnormalities, etc. So very rough all around. Things had been going well until 2 weeks ago. I went in for my routine appt/ultrasound for 20 weeks and the doctor could find no heartbeat. It was devastating. For many reasons. One, it was a boy, we have all girls and we had a son who passed away due to birth defects and being born to early. So we were excited to have a boy. So they induced my labor and our son was born on Beltane at 4 am. So just over two weeks ago now. We are handling it well for a few reasons, this isn't our first loss like this, we still have 3 beautifully healthy girls in our lives and we have each other.

Don't get me wrong, we still have our daily sadness and struggles. However I know that everything will be ok. We will be ok. As time goes on we will feel less and less devastated.

On a happier note, I started school a few months ago and I just finished up my first term as a college student, managing a crazy life (lol), mother of 3, married to a man in the Army, and got great grades!

I pretty much stopped all my pagan involvement for a while and traveled back into Atheism, BUT, I must put a disclaimer on that and say that just because I do not believe there is a god, doesn't mean I don't feel connected, spiritually and energy wise to others in this world and to this world in general. :) I love paganism and find it fulfilling on my own terms of spirituality :) So I am happy and now that my life has settled down I am starting to get back into my own personal Pagan practice.

Thats my update friends. I have missed you and I have been disconnected. Hope you all are well. Let me know! <3

Tornadoes.......

Well New Years Eve was a bust. We live in the military community that was hit by a tornado on NYE in Missouri. It was scary! The sirens were loud and wow. This was my first tornado ever and it was terrifying! We are thankful our home was not damaged, but there are hundreds of families that have been affected by the tornado. And I am hoping to do my best to help even though I am new to the area. Literally we have been here 2 weeks! AH! What a welcome wagon :(

On to New Years day, swept out the house and our entry ways, inside and out. Then a home protection jar filled with herbs and decorated very pretty :) Here is hoping things go well this year :)
