Amusements at the grocer..
No matter what you are buying at the supermarket, it seems if you buy condoms or douche at the same time, they will always think the wrong thing. Like say you need duct tape for a project and some rope for camping, then you pick up a few beers and some condoms. Or better yet just some pizza and knitting supplies, or batteries for your childs favorite toy and some feminine hygene products.
I find this quite amusing.

There is a strange bright orb in the sky. My son and I are much confused by this. The sky seems to have taken on a blue color and is no longer it's intended grey that drizzles life giving moisture. It is hard to keep our eyes open outside this day. This strange anomaly is blinding the beauty of the rain forest and it's surroundings. Hopefully it will disappear in the next day or two and life will go on as usual.
* Life is inevitable; Pretty soon all your favorite books will become movies. The creative outlet of paper and pen becomes lost. Your preferred quotes will be overused by people that don't appreciate it's original outlet and author. Eventually you will feel old and boring and exemplify that fact that our culture is losing it's fight to create original cinema and great works of fiction.

laziness and distraction
I actually did not get my ass to the gym. There were many good excuses for it today though. So tomorrow I get to work out an extra 1/3 of the time to make up for the loss.
I don't know if it's the change of weather or what? Today my joints have been exeptionally painful increasing as time goes by. Then I had a drop seizure and was spending the evening after dinner hours drugged up on Ativan and Valium to stop my head from spinning. Although to join me in my misery, Barry fell at work today dislocating his knee. So we sat in pain together and watch some very interesting news broadcasts tonight. But I will not go off about that at this time. There are lots of other things I would love to blog about at the moment.
I am reading a rather interesting paper done by a psychiatrist about therapy with bisexual polyamorous people and the approaches thereof. So far as much of it that I have read I am very impressed. I am also looking at some of the source material she sites as well. So it is taking me a while to finish it. I think that this just might be a good reference paper for school and later on when I have my own clients. I will re-touch on this subject a little more when I am done. As far as the article/paper Therapy with Clients Who Are Bisexual and Polyamorous By Geri Weitzman, PhD. Check it out for yourself (if that type of thing interests you. I would love to hear some feedback from other people and what they think of it. And if you think she missed any points, or feel there were any discrepancies.

Kitty Costume?
Today I was trying to explain to my ten year old in all of her holiday excitement that Easter (the cat) would not appreciate being dressed up in gothic fairy wings. No matter what kind of silly tricks humans can pull on dogs , that cats are just way too dignified and intelligent that to tolerate their humans dressing them up and then having to wander around in silly outfits in front of their peers.
Even going as far as explaining (imagine if you will) how it would feel to be the wisest cat on the block prancing around in fairy wings on the night the those pesky pets we call humans run around knocking door to door trying to get food by the entertainment they supply others with their silliness. When we all know humans have limitless amounts of their own food in the places with the cold hard floors in our homes. Why would a great knowledgeable feline succumb to that?
That was about the time my daughter walked away giggling and telling me I am the weirdest mom on the planet. I told her the spaceship didn't want us back and they abandoned us here. Those Bastards.

A little decoration, alot more fun....
Today we spent decorating the house for Samhain. The front of our house is covered with dark purple lights, cobwebs, creepy floating cheesecloth, etc. The kids were very happy to help and had a great time.
It seems more like an old abandoned pirate ship than a house now. Which is pretty cool. Of course with all the decorations about we had to play dress up as well. Soon enough we had a ninja, king, 2 knights, and a rather beautiful witch running about the front yard.
Tomorrow we are going to talk about the importance of Samhian to the children and why it is every year that mom has an alter scattered with pictures and such of dead people. Also telling Kiera that no she probably shouldn't read tarot for her friends on the front porch that night. I don't think the people in our neighborhood we like that very much.
The air is crisp and fall-like. Tomorrow the rains are to return for the year. Everything is just in place for the season. The house is clean and wonderfull, the kids happy and exited for the things to come. I feel a little warm inside right now.

Super mom?
*cross posted from my lj*
So I am sitting in the kitchen today after the kids got home from school, making homemade popcorn while mixing together brownies and preparing dinner. Meanwhile I have three children sitting at the table doing homework and asking questions about spelling (NOT my forte) and algebra. I stopped and thought, "how in the hell did I do all this alone and work full-time?". Right now just being a mom is a full-time endeavor and Barry is a HUGE help, plus I have my nephew here to help as well. I miss work sometimes, but not being able to do it, I try to get it out of my mind. Although I did get to go help Barry at the store tonight which was nice.
Some days I just totally enjoy being a mother and being able to stay at home. With so much on my plate it gets rough at times. Especially with working with the Shriner's , the poly, pagan communities and such. Plus I am going to go back and work some more on my degree next term.
