package whims


This day of Saturday, my husband decided due to his work week, it was a day of staying home. Considering, me and the child were out a few times this week, I was perfectly fine with it (and the child had a blast zoning into her screen and pup toys). It also seemed to be the day of packages as the holidays seem to be the excuse of my husband's gymnasium buying whims (we now have a standing punching bag and weight set and weight bench). He also decided the hammock stand he made was creaking and bowing to much for his liking (it lasted a good year!) so he took it down...which means I get an extra body in my full-sized bed, which will be an interesting adjustment as we both tend to space out and I still have trouble going to bed at the same time he does (it is a lot harder to do that when the body sleeping next to you is a light sleeper).

Saturday videos and crayon plastic dreams

Image
Today started with IHOP,  "the outside NEEDS me to play" was Luna's running quote while we were there. At 64 degrees I was an ice cube so that was a definite no-go for me! Then it was Walmart for food shopping! After that we decided it was still too cold, so home we went and just vegged out.    I spent the majority of the afternoon figuring out how to create and upload slideshow videos of highlights from the beginning of this blog to now on youtube, under Lifeadventuresformiles.  My thought is to start private/unlisted then public (like this blog) and post monthly with highlights, crafts...and maybe book reviews. I will start with slideshows but if I ever vlog more then once a month it will probably be videos on what we are doing/how I am crafting/what I am reading that week...so basically a video version of this (ish)! I also researched more business stuff. Oooh! Did I tell you about the weird dream I had?  I was more like the audience member for this dream....

The Odyssey-book of the week

Image
This week, I tried audiobooks. It hasn't really worked for me in the past and as I found for this book, audiobooks, for me at least, are only good when I know the story inside and out and want background noise. Those books I need/want to concentrate on, I find it hard to do, as the way I read, I am usually faster than the speaker of the book as well as I would have to be shut in with no distractions of any kind...and that is just not practical.  In any case, the Odyssey (By Homer-though some histories say probably by multiple people) is an epic (a long poem usually memorized and performed with musical accompaniment) and tells the tale of Odysseus's 10-year journey home, with a side story of how his family is fairing without him. It is a classic, which I am sure has been at least heard of before. I will say, if you can get through the writing style it is a fun adventure of a story. With all the components of an adventure story, a journey, romance, vengeance, a sense of hope and ...

Mom fail adventures

Image
So I feel like I mom fail a lot...like on a daily  (multiple times a day daily) a lot... I'd say it all part of the process of learning and growing and meshing one little person's growing up-ness with one (and/or 2) persons who have had a lot of their growing up-ness completed already. The mom fails today was waking g up early and thinking I could get a shower on my own...WRONG! My little solo exploring adventurer feels totally safe in our complex...which good and bad as that we live on/and or close to a busy road. Combined that with figuring out the door locks (and being tall enough to reach them)...and that her room is the first bedroom you come too when entering the house...we have a naked mother realizing it's too quiet after the initial noise of her child and calling for as rushed to the front door to see her 4 years old excitedly run in the house (in just a pull up) and jabber on about something or another (...sand toys maybe?). The result a wailing child after being ...
