Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
New verse:
Upon the hearth the fire is red, Beneath the roof there is a bed; But not yet weary are our feet, Still round the corner we may meet A sudden tree or standing stone That none have seen but we alone. Tree and flower and leaf and grass, Let them pass! Let them pass! Hill and water under sky, Pass them by! Pass them by! |
Still round the corner there may wait A new road or a secret gate, And though we pass them by today, Tomorrow we may come this way And take the hidden paths that run Towards the Moon or to the Sun. Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe, Let them go! Let them go! Sand and stone and pool and dell, Fare you well! Fare you well! |
Home is behind, the world ahead, And there are many paths to tread Through shadows to the edge of night, Until the stars are all alight. Then world behind and home ahead, Well wander back to home and bed. Mist and twilight, cloud and shade, Away shall fade! Away shall fade! Fire and lamp, and meat and bread, And then to bed! And then to bed! |

Having a good day Corin?
The pic didn't show up, and copying the properties goes to a site that is perplexing...
But I got it now ;~D

Corin - sympathy on the situation. I can't believe you haven't gone postal.

I'd be happy to go postal en masse at this point...
*sigh*
Home. And the van is acting funny. I'm going to pretend I don't notice and hope it goes away.

I'm going to pretend I don't notice and hope it goes away. If it's funny "ha ha" you can ignore it.
If it's funny "oh no" you need to have it checked out.
I know the dread of unexpected car repair bills. But all I'm sayin' is that it could be a minor problem now, but worse if you let it go.

Well...it's just acting like the rear shocks/struts/whatever that were just repaired six months ago are going again. Feels stiff in the back and is making noises, especially when turning.
But I couldn't repair it now anyway. Either that or I repair it but can't fix the windshield and hence can't get it inspected.
Wonder if walking nine miles to work and back is doable...

Um... sounds like you really need something to change there, Rosie. Let us know how the "looking around" goes. Any chance of a job at the hospital where your dad works?

I really do stress the importance of getting college done and at least almost done with a masters program BEFORE getting married!! I tell the boys all the time "We'll HELP you...get it done! It's hard after you already are married and have a family!"
Steve only had one year of college when we got married...he was 30 years old, I was 28. We got married in Dec...he started back to school in January. Went SOLID for three years and got his bachelors. I love the story. He graduated in August, interviewed for a job in Sept. got the job in October and I was pregnant by November. LOL
But I was 32 by the time I had the baby...36 when I had Joshua. Here we are in our early 40s still struggling with school and finances...we're way behind.
We'll be ok, but I sure am gonna impress on my kids to GET IT DONE EARLY!!!

OH that's EXCITING! I remember when the light dawned for Erin. I had used the Hooked on Phonics program...and there was a little booklet for her to use at the end...and she sought me out and said "Look what I can do, Mom!" and proceeded to sit down and read every single word in the booklet without pause. I was so proud.
She still wants me to read to her at night though. She's wide awake at night and IM the one going to sleep from reading to her!!! LOL
Howdy all!

You're not the only one behind. I was 23 and hubby 25 when we got married...waited 3 years before having a child...and it seems like life itself has eaten up everything. Im not going to worry though. I really think it will help her sense of independence if she is forced to try and find ways to pay for her education...then it will be something she knows she had accomplished on her own and not given to her by someone else...I say this based on my own coddled history/experience...

I read every night to the jedis. Just started "A Wrinkle in Time" last night. I'm very excited...it's a favorite of mine.

I was pretty immature...Steve even more so...so it's probably best it worked out this way.

I read every night to Erin as well, but she is 10 now and of that age where I really think she could benefit from reading on her own. Plus I am running out of appropriate things to read to her. Wrinkle in Time is one I just recently started to read to her btw! LOL Know what she did? She grabbed it up and finished it on her own...so NOW what do I do?! I told her she is the same age now that I first found The Hobbit..."Oh please Mama, read that to me (AGAIN...)" Told her I read it 16 times within the first week of discovering it...no one read to me at that time (Mom knew I prefered to be alone)...
Most everything her age now that she is interested in is stuff she could easily read on her own...still I may have to go check out the childrens section of the bookstore. I swear there are better fantasy novels there than in the sci-fi section...more creativity in stories...all the adult fantasies seem like they are written by history majors with a jones for the Arthurian tales or women's studies...ugh!
