Sage and I are really digging the whole homeschooling thing. Sage has his own blog, which I set up as a place for him to write stories and basically do whatever creative thing–it is called Sage’s Homeschooling Blog. That may change. His brother added to the story Sage has been writing. That made Sage ecstatic. [...]

I’ve been having vivid dreams lately. Early this morning, I met a man who had been working for himself since 1981. If I believed in “guides,” I’d have to say he was one. He asked me, “Why do you want to work for yourself?”
I started singing. “I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no [...]

Sky looks so healthy! I can’t tell you just how thrilled I am to see him. And Sage is completely beside himself. Sky is tan from being in the Santa Fe National Forest at the Rainbow Gathering, and he’s put on weight (in a good way). I can’t tell you how much he reminds me [...]

So Sage had the spider bite, but when we took him to the doctor for yet another “spider bite”, we discovered that he has MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant form of staph. I got pretty freaked out by how serious the formerly jovial doctor got when he saw the boils. Sage is now on a pretty harsh [...]

I’ve almost cried once today. And I actually did cry before that. It’s been such a roller-coaster of a day.
The first thing that happened was that Sage was getting an award at school today (for music!) and I had to work. I did walk over to his school to drop off some goodies for [...]

A few minutes ago, I rescued this ladybug from a bucket of some sort of sludge that Greg has left in the front flowerbed. She’s relieved to be on some lemon balm, I think!
I bought another new plant this weekend and then forgot the name of it. We are going to be overrun with [...]

I’m sitting here listening to Aaron Goldberg, because his complex jazz tunes make me feel more sophisticated than lonely. My guys went camping, and while I usually welcome the alone time, I’m a bit bummed by Sage not waking up in the morning and doing his egg search around the house. It’ll have to wait [...]

I’ve just been loving the vacation from school lately. Although, subconsciously I know I’m going back soon, since I woke up to a dream of my boss chewing me out and me quitting on the spot.
We had a blast in Houston–here are a few pics!
Here’s the life-sized floor sign indicating the floor we [...]

Have you ever felt as though you actually did something right as a parent? Getting a hammock for Sage’s room feels like one of those times. It was inspired by the fact that apparently someone else had already done so, and left some really heavy-duty eyehooks in the wall. I bought a huge (holds 750 [...]

I’ve been having these little anxiety attacks for two days. They started yesterday, the official day that Sky turned 18. I know that it is most likely related in some way, although how, I’m not quite sure.
I operate using the philosophy of “if you love something let it go, and if it loves you [...]
