Celebrate that Hole!

There she is!

People will drive by and see the fence and maybe even peer down into the hole and not realize the significance of a long 20 years to get here.

So to celebrate, I went with Clay via detour to San Luis Obispo :)

We stayed at the cutest bed and breakfast:)

He is the best

I am part real excited and part making myself excited. I try hard to look on the upside but lately it's felt like a hail storm of doubt. I reach up in prayer and just hope my words are not just floating to the ceiling and popping like a bubble...

After our romantic stop in SLO, I headed over to Phoenix to see my Mom.

But only got a picture of Peppers looking like a she could be in ad for PetCo...haha

Took Daniel and Ella to see Mission:Impossible with Grandma and thought about the Burbank sunset and time I had with Clay amidst the heatdome of 115 degrees:)

Summer is just flying by and I don't feel like I have anything to show for it:(

But you know, I'm sure I do....I'm just having a hard day today.

I want to stop worrying.

I want to stop feeling so reactive.

I ordered Dan Harris' book about meditation.

Maybe this is the thing that could help me most.

I had this dream last night where a woman was there asking me about my meeting agenda for the YW. And I kept saying, I have done this, I know how to do this. And she kept saying she wanted to see it....and then I just broke like a damn.

Yelling in my dream...why does this matter? this doesn't matter!

And then my friend Karen came in and hugged me and we walked away and I kept saying....I'm so tired, I'm just so tired.

I woke up and felt everything.

Was it a release or just a dream informing me that I am just tired of unnecessary demands put upon me.

This is when I wish the sensitivity knob on my sprit would turn down....

but it's at 11 :)

oh, and Chester broke his toe

and him and Audrey are sick and coughing...on July 18th.

am I right?

The Lofty Summer Project

Summer Milkbarn projects! We had so many plans and then like anything, summer came and kind of went (well, unless you count the 25 days left of actual summer). We accomplished 2 things. Here is the the boys room remodel. We haven't completed the built in book shelves but this is a pretty amazing re-do since it was a pretty nasty room to start with. Before photos (after I delightfully cleaned, donated and organized the boys belongings! well, not all of them) Right below this crack through their ceiling slept Henry in the top bunk. If I was him, I would've imagined monsters or something trying to break in from another dimension... oh wait, that is Stranger Things on Netflix ( okay, so that was my 3rd summer project) old paint swatches from 2 1/2 years ago lightening speed around here! Ripped up the carpet and remains of a rainbow loom rip rainbow looms After the carpet and linoleum un...

Slowdown and Stuff

And we're back.... it's been slow going at the Milkbarn. We moved a tree over and out of the drive way. Alert the presses. At some point, someone might be able to get out of our driveway. You know, when all the lumber has been moved. We want visitors. Just drop in. Clay or I can back your car out for you! Floors are done in the apartment. Wait! Spoke too soon. They are awaiting the 3rd and final coat after we(*Clay) drywall. We are here too much. Typical Saturday night. Trampoline is up. It is now chained closer to a clump of trees. It tried to fly away with the canyon winds. Into the power line above. Audrey started basketball. 21 for the block! Hopefully the driveway will be paved for a hoop this summer. Audrey turned 9 and chose to be with her best friend instead of a big party. Ice skating in Louisville, dinner at the Huckleberry and shopping for mood necklaces at the mall. ...

Post #40 The Ninja Room

The room my family has been waiting for. Seriously! I knew when we decided to turn this into a hang out room versus another bedroom(sorry teenage Lucy) it would be the end all at the Milkbarn. In the 70's, when I grew up, this type of room was called a den. Rightly so. They were usually planked with wood siding and padded with two toned shag carpet. Nowadays I hear the word lounge to describe this space which only conjures up images of 20 somethings in the 90's (ahem, that was me) congregating at hip places with lots of sectional seating and guys thinking cigars were cool while I thought it seemed all so ridiculous. So our children, upon carpet installation, commandeered the room for fighting and wrestling and so forth. They named it The Ninja Room . No den, no lounge...just the ninja room. We love that they named it. We wanted to put up all of our family photographs in a more personal space. ...
