Sunday... Day of Rest?

This weekend is a bit blurry for me. I know what I did, but I can't recall which days I did it on. We got a notice that it's the time of year for brush and bulky item trash pickup again. Saturday I spent a few hours pushing everything out of the garage onto the curb. That was fun... NOT. I still want to go through the shed in back. We have until the 28th to do it. Already the neighborhood vultures have picked certain items from my pile. The vacuum cleaner that didn't work and the garage door opener that didn't work are examples, and also a rotten door frame. Why people take these things is beyond my comprehension, but the vacuum lasted maybe an hour. I'd like to see someone try and take that homemade ferret cage. I brought in my 0-3mos baby clothes too. I almost forgot how tiny babies are! Here's my pretty trash pile and my pretty garage.

We went and saw Shrek the Third on Sunday. It was so funny! I was happy to get out and do something remotely adult-like. I would have gone to see that movie even if I didn't have Noah. I love kid movies. They're clean and fun and very artistic. Yesterday and today I've been extremely tired and lazy. It hit me last night that I may be getting a little anemic so I took some Blackstrap Molasses (which provide 70% DV of iron per TBSP and don't cause constipation like iron pills). I feel better today than I did yesterday, but I'm still wore out. Coffee isn't working, sleep isn't working... it must be the iron, right?! I'll probably be OK tomorrow after a few more doses of the molasses. Noah's been bored I'm sure. He found my Germany beanie hat today and insisted on wearing it during naptime and almost the entire rest of the day. It was very humid outside so when the hat finally came off he was all gross and sweaty and swirly, but happy. He looked so cute :) It even matched his outfit. He just loves hats! Time for more molasses and then SLEEP. I hereby swear I will not get sucked into stupid sitcom reruns and just go to sleep by 11.

Oh I almost forgot... our friend Kevin called with some promising contact info for Josh. We might be getting some actual dates on his class and moving :O I'm not holding my breath, but I'm really glad to have another venue to try our luck!

Hi Allie - Hey, you've been doing the turn-the-computer-off thing too! It was kind of hard at first, but I've really been getting a ton done - sounds like you have too.

I hope you hear soon about the dates you're waiting for...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
