The kids are all playing out in the back yard in the 102 deg. heat. (I must be getting acclimatized because I hardly feel it anymore.) Who needs the expense and trouble of a built in pool when they can have so much fun with a 20 dollar blow up poot and a hose? Sigh at least it gives me a bit of a sanity break. God they've been driving me insane. I took them shopping at Wal de mart after swimming lesson. I thought my head was going to start spinning around. We took Connor off his adhd meds for the summer so he's just a wired crazy puppy. At least he's eating better and actually gaining some weight. The doctor keeps reassuring us that his low weight isn't related to the meds, but I know we've seen a huge difference in his eating patterns.

I got the second Laurell K Hamilton book in the fairy series from the library yesterday. Not sure how I feel about those, I think I like the slayer ones better. I like more story and less gratuitous sex.

I'm really enjoying the classes at the College of the Mists. The tarot is excellent. He starts you off with doing readings right away. It puts the cards into context rather than simply trying to memorize a bunch of meanings. I've been doing Tarot for a while now, but I think if I was a beginner I'd be learning more from his method than any other book or course I've done.

The on line full moon ritual the other night was good too. Not quite the same as meeting with SoftheM but it's certainly going to help to fill the empty space.
