Also I had Scarlet Fever as a child and thought I was going to go blind because that is how Mary Ingalls went blind! My mother had to explain to me how we had antibiotics and I would not go blind!! <br />Lovely magical ways to spend your time together. . . <br />Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12613648636980036657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-85226891920881221812013-01-23T06:30:37.353-06:002013-01-23T06:30:37.353-06:00Those are some magic snowflakes!

Confession: I called in "cold" to my work and Riley's school today because I just can't face going outside. Our first holiday after Christmas will be spring break and so today at home together will be a much welcome break. I hope you added a little vermut to that lemonade by day's end!The Bodhi Chicklethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12287125977780580043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6914291490673940304.post-21037149007761537212013-01-23T05:31:02.782-06:002013-01-23T05:31:02.782-06:00ah...love. how i could write you a short essay her...ah...love. how i could write you a short essay here in your comment box.<br /><br />i like to think we do better than most in the "allowing" <--- even putting it like that makes me wince, as if we have the right to allow or disallow another persons emotions ? -- the temper and tears and tantrums and rages etc. of both our children. and in our turn, we two adults are free to outwardly express our own "moments". and afterward, we cuddle, we wipe tears, we talk and we move on...<br /><br />still, there are times when moods clash and we are not so expansive and accepting of one another and so the Too Good Mother takes the opportunity to point out the likelihood of permanent scarring and emotional shackling and the trifecta of guilt/shame/lack of worth....and that's just what it's doing to me ;)<br /><br />*sigh*<br /><br />but surely the knowledge and the promise to do better next time counts, right?<br /><br />hot, gingered, lemonade...okay - must. have. recipe.<br /><br />love to you..for your wisdom and guiding light...oh, and your awesome paper dolls which i totally need to make too...:)<br /><br />xo<br /><br />ps. i can't even comment on the idyllic setting of your wintery afternoon...T-G-M is looking over my shoulder...:)<br /><br />xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
