We have a house!

We found a rental home! We are so excited and hope to be moved in by Thanksgiving! The house is in North Willits, where we use to live, in a small township. It's near one of our favorite hiking trails and is minutes from many of our friends!



In a way I'm bummed to move away from the friends I've made here in Lake County but I know this is the right move for us. Seth has been offered work in Willits and I too have been offered to teach yoga again and perhaps restart the Waldorf playgroup. It's the right move for us :)



The house is a dream come true. A great low price, 3 bedrooms, two baths, new carpet, new windows, etc. Everything is very well kept and in good repair. I'm so in love with it! The kitchen is really big with lots of counter space. A window above the sink will help my daily mediation of dish washing. The home sits up on a hill in a wooded area with lots of redwood trees and a wrap-around porch. The neighbors have a son a little younger than Nykki :)







On our trip out the show my sister the house we found 3 butter bolete mushrooms! Yum! That one is my favorite! What a beautiful welcome home gift from nature! I can't wait to get some garden bed going in the sunny front of the property, a little greenhouse, ya know, grow some yummies.







I hope the move is smooth and not too much stress. *crossing fingers* Well, I'm off to pack!

Our Anniversary!

My beloved Seth where would I be without you? You are my protector, my guider, my lover, the father of our children, my steadfast soul mate and I am blessed to spend every moment that I do with you. My co-creator, my partner, my husband....I love you.

Continuing Drama...

So I need a spell work, advice, prayer, meditation, something....life is so busy!



So I attended the La Vida homeschool charter school board meeting last night in the hopes of giving the school the new breath of fresh air it needed to survive and again, I, like many parents before me, was not taken seriously and nothing got done. At this point some of the parents and former staff are so outraged it's gone legal and I have no hopes for the school's survival so I'm feeling like I need to step aside for the moment because my being dramatic about everything doesn't help the situation or myself. So that's that.



In addition to that I'm battling Med-i-cal who has not payed medical bills from April they were suppose to pay. I'm filling out new paperwork and calling the collection company nearly everyday with updates in the hopes that if they see I'm trying to pay my bill they wont put it on my credit report. I can't have $3,000 worth of medical bill right now on my credit when we need to rent a new house by december. So in the meantime I'm juggling the billing at the hospital, the collection agency and social services. *sigh*



On the other front my student loans through Citibank were consolidated through the government loan consolidation program for student loans however Citibank is saying they never got the check from the Educational Department. So now I have two bills, one from Citibank and one from the Ed. Dept. saying I owe them both money this month! Citibank is calling nearly everyday and I'm like "Dudes, I don't freakin' have a loan with you anymore, I don't owe you money." Ugh.



When do I get time to homeschool, when do I get time to nurture, when do I get time to sit and read stories with all this drama? It has to end and it has to end now. I refuse to let the world as it is destroy my peace of mind. I want to step aside but sometimes it's hard to figure out just how to do that. I can't just let my credit go south and I can't not pay my student loan bills.



I hate credit. Boy how I wish I didn't have those student loans. College should be free in the this country, or very cheap, like Europe.



The prophets of the Mormon church have always advised their members not to go into debt except to buy maybe a house or go to school. I agree and I live this life principle but I still have debt that I can barely control - debt that the managment thereof is like a full time job.



I'm always looking for the root of issues, to stop then at their germination, not just to prune them once they've overgrown. What do you think is the root of all this?

Rain and Star Trek

We had rain today. It's the first rain we've seen since March. We are so rain starved in our part of the world in the summer time. We all breethed in the sweet scent with much love and relief.

Ahhhhhhhhhh!


In other news some of you may be wondering why I haven't been posting as often lately. Well....I hate to admitt that the Treky in me got hooked. A friend lent us the entire collection of Star Trek Enterprise on DVD. Now I had never seen the show because it came on after I no longer had TV so Seth and I were in geek heaven for the past two and half weeks as we drunk in all 96 episodes!

Sheesh! Now Seth wants to watch all the Voyagers. Yikes!!



I loved Dr. Plox because of his happy personality and his natural healing approch. I also loved Hoshi because she's a linguist - and well, so was I once! LOL I do think however that Hoshi and T'Pol need to be on an all butter diet for at least a month. Bring back the days of curvey Counselor Troi! :) now there's a Star Trek sex Goddess! *winking suggestivly*

My Kids' Room

*Side Note* Today I had the weirdest feeling around 2 PM. Like a great disstrubance in the fource (LOL) but seriously did anyone else feel that??

Nykki had a fever for a day two days ago and so with him and Ronan vegging their sick bodies out in front of one movie after another I spent the day cleaning their room. I know my cell phone camera sucks but since it's the only one I have right now it shall have to do. Anyway I thouhgt I would share some pics of the boys room.

Book stack that never stays clean so why bother putting them up "correctly"?



Doll corner



Kitchen Play



Vintage boat pics hung on floral wire with close pins

Most of the kids decorations, books and toys come from the thrift shop. I would say 90% of them. By the way I did NOT do the paint job on the walls and believe me if we weren't renting I would redo it! LOL

Summer time fun..............

I love public parks! It's the only place in America, other than your house, where you can hang out WITHOUT being a consumer.
