Grabbed the day by the tail and what a ride! Mathers Award.

Oh my!
I had a very full day today. After the morning chores of lunch for hubby and a post, Kids awoke and we ate or they did and I sped off to a 5 minute shower to wash my hair. Once I threw the jeans on and a sweater I was off to take the kids to school.
After a great stretch of the neck, literally at therapy I called up a blog friend and hit the freeway (going the wrong way during to missing my exit) made a big loop and got gas. At the gas station had a nice visit with the attendant who is raising his 10 yr old grand son. We shared the joy of a life with children. Then it was off to the city.
I went to visit "Spider Lady" and deliver her "pay it forward" in person. I made her a needle case I'll do a post on it later.

What a nice woman! She was such a sweet hostess. What a loving little Mother she is to her two adorable kids. Her little boy Bud was so cute! Very gregarious and fun. Her adorable daughter Tweety is full of smiles. I had a wonderful visit that was short due to the travels I had a head of me and my unease at being so far from my kids it was a good 15 + miles from home. I made a big loop up north and east to go get my Rx ( I have an apothecary shop mix my hormones. I have a much better effect with less migraines doing so but they are a long way from home.
I then stopped on the trip south to get a Taco Bell. The sweet gentleman who was cashiering was so kind. I realized after the fact that he gave me a drink for free when he saw me counting my coins and a .36 cent discount too. That was cool. I parked and got out of the car to sit by the pond and eat. There was many Canadian geese in formation over head at a short distance and I saw a Killdeer bird too. I really felt refreshed. I drove home through the reservation lands.
I saw the furrowed land big clods of earth upturned and awaiting the drying of the sun and to be ground down into a soil ready for seed. The clods made me think of the boxes around my house drying in the process of moving as I await the turning of the soil for seed. This is a wild adventure. I will post some photos when I have a chance.
In all there was over 50+ miles on that tank of gas. I arrived home just after 2 pm tired.
went and got the kids and they were such a chatter with the glee we call Friday. We snacked and rested. I fell asleep at the TV to have Beloved walk in to find me dazed. HE SAT DOWN on the sofa for a little visit. Wow that was so nice just to say hi. The kids were doing computer and did not hear him come in. I had him all to myself a few moments. That was nice.
I was craving PIZZA. We never get pizza because Dash and I are allergic to cheese and wheat is no friend of mine either. We splurged! We all went to a Peter Piper. Wow Dinner out that was nice. We got 20 tokens for free with our pizzas. Dash and I split a ultra thin crust with the works NO CHEESE. It was still good. The kids played games and we had a nice visit all together full of laughs and such then Dove looks at me and says..." Mom you have not had any blow ups for a long time"...I thanked her for noticing, it felt real nice to have such positive feed back like that unsolicited.
A couple sitting near us gave the kids another 10 tokens so while Daddy Man ate the last slice of his...the kids and I went and spent the last 3 of the tokens they each had. Then we awaited the ticket counter and cashed them in. The children enjoyed the treats and My husband told me a strange saga of a fellow he knows at his work. It was so nice to hear about his world at work. I felt very close to him. We are home now of course. Dove just dictated the most wonderful thing to her father I'll ask her if I can share it. the kids are playing and I have cola in me and am buzzing from the caffeine.
Wow that is a full day! Upon coming home the dogs were so happy to see us that Willy almost knocked me over , he acts more like a gazelle then a dog.

She said yes...

THIS IS HOW I THINK THE TREE HOTEL SHOULD BE

First, (her friend) and I should get the biggest tree in the forest. Then we should start
building. We will build two houses in it; one for (her friend) and one for me.

Next, we shall buy a car.

Now we will have two kitchens, two stoves and two sinks and in the bathroom we'll
have two toilets. Next we will have a bridge and a river under it and the houses
will be rainbow colors. We'll have a fireplace and two chimneys for each of us.
We'll both get married and have kids and have red and blue steps. Then we'll have a yellow balcony and we'll have other houses if other people stop by they can stay for the night. We'll have eleven other houses for other people who stop by. The people will have the same things that (her friend) and I have in their houses so my mom and dad can stop by and my little brother and (her friend) mom and dad and brother and sister.
We'll have red bird houses and the poor can stop by as well and if they are missing
some legs they can go through the wooden door and there will be a flat spiral ramp
that goes to their house. Next, if there are some people who don't have hands the
door will open for them. The houses will have red shutters and we'll grow a garden.
That's the end…

I removed her friends name
That last part really touched my heart. This child is very caring of others. She is quiet about it very very introspective of the needs of others. I love my daughters heart it is so beautiful. Some day I want to make a way to take her to a place like that.
Oh I was given this by my friend over at "Yesu Garden" today
