a little bit about what's here

Welcome to my brains dump station. Please don't feel obligated to read it but if you are here it's because you expressed an interest in being here or I just happen to think you're rad and want to include you in our life. Feel free to comment so that I know if anyone is reading! Not that it would stop me from blogging if no one did read, it's just nice to know who is around every once in awhile! I'll try to hit spell check before I post but I make no guarantee's! It's my blog and therefore you will find that I don't censor myself very often, especially when it comes to swear words (I'm working on it). If you don't like what I have to say, feel free to not read. I'm okay with that.

I love being a work from home mom to my one and only child, G. He is a dream that I never thought would come true. It's my goal in my life to raise him to be thoughtful, witty, respectful, gentle, sincere, creative, determined, instinctive, charming, frank, truculent, faithful, reflective, happy, active, bright, ambitious, talented, productive, decisive, kind hearted, friendly, proud, sarcastic, calm, righteous, generous, protective, dynamic, silly, adaptable, brave, honorable, gregarious, funny, fearless, outgoing, magnanimous, confident, cultured, fair and just plain amazing. It's not too tall an order, it's my life's work.

A very G slideshow

Last week was G's share week at school. He mostly just took some of his dinosaurs which are his prized possessions. He wanted me to make him a slideshow of pictures of his life up until now. It made me miss that life. Not Powell necessarily but the freedom that living there afforded me.

The life of a momma of a little boy who always wanted to be outside. The life of a momma who was teaching that boy how to read, how to navigate the world. I miss being with him all the time and capturing the world through his eyes.

I miss my boy, even if he doesn't want much to do with me on my days off, I miss just being there.

The slideshow was a big hit among his classmates. They wanted to watch it a second time but the teacher had only allocated ten minutes for it. She said she's never had a student do a picture slideshow for a share day. She loved it. G loved it too, he previewed it and approved it the night before and choked up a few times.

I hope you enjoy a "quick" 9.5 minute glance back at G's life!
