It is very strange. I have had a couple comments email to me, but they aren't showing here. Just FYI, I can't reply to you directly!

Kim, oh, I am sorry to read you were having the kind of day where the tears are flowing. I remember feeling that way 2 years ago, despite all the lovelies of the day. Are you okay? I hope I am recalling correctly, but did your two littles do something special with you on Sunday? Peace, light, and love.

Yes, so proud of her! Thanks, Sarah! Saw A and baby S yesterday. She said you have been by a few times. I was trying to give them space, so we had only been by once before, but I think she might have enjoyed having her hands free while each of us had a turn holding and goggling. :) She said you were wonderful with nursing help. :)

Yes, I love that, too. I think it is going to happen in so many ways, very quickly, with my two! Finishing IS so rewarding! I find it so hard and I am really trying to teach follow through, which makes me ever more proud of her. I think knitting is therapy for her, which is wonderful. :)

Yes! I think Finnian is in between your girls, right? Or right around your oldest in age? He has been wishing for a pen pal who would write back (pictures would be just fine, too), because he longs for mail. Lala would write, too, of course. Email me!

Ah! I have one of those, too!

It is funny trying to teach your child to do something you struggle with. Follow through on projects like this is really hard for me, so it is hard to get better!

Nichole,
Yes to all you say! Same...we are busy but all of it is good. And actually, my over talking comes in two forms; one is that I just talk at them too much (although far, far less than I used to) and I tend to do it when I am feeling ignored or disrespected. The second is that I think out loud about things or talk to process things and my kids are NOT the people I should be doing this with!
Often, I have to hit a low like yesterday to free myself, to begin unsticking, and to clear/cleanse. I am getting better at not having the lows hit like that, but it really is dependent on sleep. There are not and never will be enough hours in the day, but last night I realized that, while I have been worrying a lot about my kids and where they fit in and, really, they have made fabulous progress and that I am complicating it by trying this and that to find a good fit. I should let the other stuff go and stay the course that feels good, which is Waldorf.
And today...after I had them outside for awhile, helping with yard work (sorry to say that it is sunny and downright warm here), dada took them out for a bit to give me quiet.
Peace and light and JOY,
Nicola

My friend, Nichole, tried to post and it came to my email. Here is what she said:

I could have written several lines here mysef. My blog used to be stuck and stagnant like my words, eventually they flow. My over talking and inability to parent a child that has some special needs and needs patience. I must need sleep and to relax a little. We too are starting to get a little busy, but everything we are doing is so fun and almost seems necessary. However, yes it feels like we are winding down all the other days and fitting school in. Thankfully it snowed all week and everything was cancelled except one thing was rescheduled. I pray to God how can I parent my children and be patient with them when they don't listen, make messes, and basically push back as-the-time. What do I do is my question to the Angels and Creator? Writing is usually catharsis, so it will probably come soon Nicola, the answers, the relief. I had some typos but it wouldn't let me correct them, sort of like life, we can't always go back, but we can be present and go forward.
