Lightening the Mood

It’s been a pretty serious week around here, with my post about Christmas and the last post.   I have to thank everyone for the incredibly supportive response to my discussion of abortion; it took my breath away.  I had been hemming and hawing about that post for over a week, but finally decided to go with it.  Putting my experience out in the open was an important final piece of my healing process and I couldn’t have gotten a warmer, more heartfelt response.  Thank you.

I have a few more thought-provoking, serious pieces in mind, but I decided to save them for next week and to the lighten the mood a bit.  This blog is, after all, about finding joy…

So I thought I’d share a couple videos from my YouTube channel.

Joy is: Dancing with her cousin Jack

It's that time again... Girl Scout cookies! And this year we have two selling. Help them meet their cookies sales goals by ordering online. 

If you live nearby, choose girl delivery and help get cookie boxes out of our garage... Otherwise we're going to be giving them Girl Scout  Cookies for birthday and Christmas presents all year.

Bus stop selfie with Nora. This week she moved from her tiny charter school with only 18 eighth graders to the public middle school with over 200. And now she rides the bus.

The charter school wasn't challenging her enough, has a huge percentage of students who are disruptive in the classroom, and has been having trouble keeping teachers. Last year she loved it. But this year it was one thing after another, so right before Thanksgiving she and I went to go tour our neighborhood  middle school, and she immediately wanted to make the switch.

We've never had a kid in public school and I was nervous about how the transition would go from such a small school to a big one, but so far she's loving it and is glad she decided to move schools. It helps that she knows kids there already from her dance team. Hopefully she'll still be happy when she starts getting homework. Coming from a no homework school that may be a shock to us all.

Halloween 2022. Two witches, a murderous cat, and a creepy Victorian doll. 

Zara's costume was my favorite this year - Nora did her makeup and she wore my flower girl dress from my mom and step-dad's wedding. She might have worn it better. 😂
