Craig woke up Sunday morning with a card containing the scribble: "Happy Father's Day, You can do whatever you want". Upon reading this the next thing we saw was the puff of smoke he left behind as he ran towards the car. Have I mentioned that Craig has been revisiting his obsession with climbing? He's been in such a jolly mood and is looking even more buff than usual so I'm not complaining much. After his climb we had plans to reunite at the restaurant for dinner. As much as I love cooking any excuse for going out for supper - hook me up!
As Craig headed for the hills the kids and I immediately started planning a picnik lunch right by Daisy and Baby Meatballs' fence gate. It's pretty cute how social these critters are. Especially Baby. He comes running up whenever he sees the kids wanting to say hello.
Daisy, on the other hand, seems more partial to me. The whole time we were eating our lunch she was trying to suck my toes the whole time. Through my sock. I believe this means she thinks I'm her baby! I'm down with that.
This moment has pretty much summed up the bliss I've been embracing ever since I had reached a bit of an epiphany during a recent accupuncture session:
I can do whatever I want but I can't do everything.
Since I have recently nightweaned Kale I've been able to start attending my Thursday night knit circle with my ladies again. The first night out I think I was high on the taste of my new found freedom for I caught myself babbling incessantly on about all my plans I had on queue; Etsy shop projects, my dream consulting sessions, Grade One homeschooling , the launch of my Backwoods Mama Fall Sew Camp in the Fall.
And then a half hour into my babbles I had an outer body experience. I could see myself standing behind my babbling self twirling my index finger in circles around my temple. Reality check! I can't do it all, damn parralel Universes!
Accupuncture helped me pin point (ha, ha) what activity out of everything brings me most joy and what I'll continuing persuing. So far it's down to blogging, homeschooling and the sew camps. The spring one was such a succeess and I loved it sew (another ha, ha), homeschooling is a no brainer for us (now, anyway) and blogging, well, I just simply love this.
I'm not sure exactly how this is going to pan out or how this ties in with picniking with cattle but I'll keep you posted here on where my bliss leads me!
