Boys Will be Boys

Will they ever!
Wow, these past few days it seems like the two little ones have grown so much. Rather than toddling babies, they have turned into little boys. Dante even bit Demetrio today! And then thought it was funny to chase him about, gnashing his teeth at him. So funny in fact , that he often laughed himself silly. Demetrio was pretty freaked out about it (can't blame him!) but not freaked out enough to refrain from diving on him, smacking him about the head and knocking all Dante's blocks off the table when Dante was busy building towers and trains. Then it was DEMETRIO laughing his head off while Dante screamed bloody murder.
I can't count the wipe-outs over the past few days.
Bumps on heads, bruised shins, strange marks here and there from battles I've apparently missed while in the bathroom or in the kitchen trying to cook and clean.
After a few day bout with a bad back, I was thrilled to be feeling groovy enough to do the 40 minute walk to the grocery store (and 50 minute walk back. Extra ten minutes due to the added weight of groceries packed in and about the double stroller with the kids) The sun was shining and it was actually down right hot on the way home. Too warm in fact to play outside for long once we got home. So we went out again later today for some play time. On the way home from the grocery store, about three houses up from mine, I saw a wooden TV stand with shelves. Quite a bit shorter than the one we had. But it was wood you see, and our living room furniture is circa 1960. It was my grandmothers. But my TV stand/entertainment unit was very much 90's. Black with shiny gold trim. We have fake wood laminate floor, wood trim on the couches, wood coffee table. Getting a wooden stand was something Id wanted for awhile. And free is a good price. So after getting home, I accosted my husband who had just woken up. He's on nights right now. Begged him to go get the stand for me. I had asked my 21 year old, but he was out the door, going back to work from lunch, so that left my husband only.
After he went to work tonight, I had my two older sons carry it upstairs, then I had the fun task of unplugging everything, making note of where plugs go etc. I got it all set up and wow. It is small. And short. It kind of looks like a headboard from a bed, LMAO. But hey, its WOOD!
Then I couldnt get anyone to help me get this big black shiny monstrosity downstairs and... I don't know, out the door maybe? With the same 'free' sign that was attached to cabinet I just adopted? Either way, it is now sitting smack in the middle of everything, at the top of the stairs.
Oh well. I got my cabinet.

Another year almost here

October 7th will be two years. Two years that she has been gone. I can't say I 'had' a daughter. That seems like such blasphemy. The correct term to me is 'HAVE' a  daughter. But she is no longer huggable. I can no longer hear her laughter or her voice. I can't look forward to any more of her accomplishments because there are none. Autumn again, and it's the same smell in the air. The same quirky wind and dampening light. The time of year I have always loved. Now it's also the time of year that I remember the knock on my door. The face that uttered words telling me she was gone. Autumn décor goes up, as does a sense of dread. Macabre song of leaves in the trees. This year also has included the end of my marriage. Though truthfully it ended long ago, it took a long time to realize that there was no light to sustain it. Just angry words and poison. Seeds from the harvest, in fruit that is past its time, Sink into the earth. From the decay comes life they

Just another wordpress blog post

I've done pretty good with staying offline. I've reduced my time by about 80%. I just need to narrow down my time on here to quality activities. Blog updates and Spiral Inward message board :D (http://spiralinward.com) My icons from Istok.net arrived. Very beautiful. Ill add pics tomorrow. Our first official Mater Amabilis Narthex is tomorrow. There are three confirmed other than myself. Im pleased with that number. Good things start small. It gives us a chance to get to know each other and to get a good idea of where we want to go with this. I saw my boy tonight. My one who is with his dad right now. I went to watch his lacrosse game with my husband. It was a 4-4 tie and I was so stressed watching those last minutes I thought I was going to hyperventilate. LOL. It was 4-4 almost the whole last period. I hope he and I can work things out. If he wants to. I understand that maybe we just can't live together. He's almost 16 and all his life, behaviour has been a struggle.

Boring Post

But a post nontheless. Blogging is a good way to keep track of time and events in my life, especially because I have a bad memory.  So, let's see.... my son is selling e-cigarettes (one of my older sons), I bought my 3.5 year old new Thomas Train  boots. My 2 year old was jealous, but he has some prett awesome Lightening Mc Queen boots, so I just cleaned and buffed his up a bit, and now he thinks they're new too :D. My dad and grandparents came over yesterday... oh! and hubby and I had some wine to celebrate High Spring. We watched The Dark Knight ,because believe it or not, we hadn't watched it yet. I really liked it.  Dying my hair today, the greys are taking over.... hm. What else?  Found an awesome place on SL in a region that is part of the Eternity Sims. 50L per week. Tiny place, but the area is beautiful, the cabin is well done, and it has a day/night set that switches places with the touch of a button. I love the peeps in Eternity. Hopefully I will start in
