Aahhh, with the pressure of yesterday behind me and a deliciously loud and frightening thunderstorm looming out my window, I woke this fine rainy day READY. Yes, ready. Just ready, I can't explain it further but I am sure most of you have felt the same thing. A determined sense of purpose. A shield and armor against the universe kinda feeling.
The storm woke me with a booming jolt and a blinding flash that rattled my teeth and mometarily confused me as to where I was. A second bowling ball thru plate glass boom & Edd was awake as well. We lay there wrapped in each others arms listening to the storm and relishing this stolen moment of intimacy. Edd even kicked his precious "Cosita" to the foot of the bed.Oh yeah, today was starting MUCH better then the last one. I even called the dentist and moved Owyn's appointment to tomorrow morning (it's a lost filling and she isn't suffering-k?) preferring to remain in Edd's arms engulfed in the rapture of the storm raging outside. As I have said before there is something hypnotic about rain on a metal roof, and lightening and thunder just amplify that effect on me. Edd knows this and uses it to his advantage, my boo aint stupid, LOL.
We lay this way til we drifted back to sleep,snoring and drooling on each other as only a truly married couple can. Perfect morning in my book. Owyn knocked a short while later and helped me make belgian waffles and bacon for everyone. I don't care for sweets much but there is just something irresitable about a thick, crispy waffle,kissed with real butter and drizzled lightly with maple syrup. OMG! toss on a couple berries and some whipped cream and I will crawl down a dark alley for you.Owyn ate breakfast in bed with her Papi, her favorite little treat. Edd and I left for Palata to pay rent on the property and I have to admit it felt GOOD. We paid it in full and a day early and it felt really good. I am sure all of you reading this can understand what I am talking about. It has happened to us all at some point in the last couple of years. With the current status of our Government (head up ass) it will happen to many more of us all too soon.I pray for everyone I know daily and give thanks so often my children have begun to think I speak directly to GOD now, since I don't bother to bow my head or mumble quietly -I simply dispense with the formalities and speak outloud each time I need to let him know I GOT IT,THANK YOU. I am a woman of intense faith and I believe that everyone in their own right is as well. I don't think we all need to believe the same-we just need to BELIEVE. In anything, something, nothing if it suits you-it's still a belief.
I enjoyed the day cooking and chasing the chickens and we all herded the duckies into the drainage ditch for an impromptu swim that tickled them to death! What fun it was watching the children watch the ducks,diving and sliding thru the water and quacking ,quacking, quacking! All the chickens and duckies are molting(losing baby fluff) and gtting their mature feathers. They are all so beautiful, we have begun to name them. The 2 golden buffs are "goldie & Beatrice", the dark redheads are "Sophia(loren) and Eva(menendez)" LOL.. the whites are "Sarah & Grace". They are the primary layers of this group of hatchlings and will continue to be hand fed and tamed daily. The Aracuanas have yet to be named we are still trying to figure out their personalities.I will post pics over the next couple of days.
The kids are watching tangled under an gi-normous tent I constructed in the living room out of sheets. Takes me back a bit, how bout you? popped some popcorn and smothered it in butter and ladled out a bowl of M& M's and sat down to blog and listen. They are discussing a crush someone has on Layla (Dawson's brother) what they wanna do for summer (fishing, a camping trip,coming here) and how much fun they have had this week. I spent $5 on skatepark fees and nothing else, and they (according to conversation I am eavesdropping on) have had a BLAST! That makes it all worthwhile. It melts away the the "yesterdays" from my memory and replaces them with something closer to reality.To the truth we are supposed to know about ourselves and our children. This week they all proved themselves to me in a way I had yet to see from them. They banded together, worked as a large functioning tribe,governing themselves and rationalizing. They workd together, and even though our house was FULL it was quiet. Layla said so herself this morning,"Mom-theres alot of kids in our house,but it's SO QUIET-I think you and Edd should have a baby ". WHOAAAA, that's a whole other blog sweetie.
WEEELLLLL,maybe....? EDD???
