Pagan Worksheets for Kids

I have started a new project for my Pagan resource site.
I have noticed that online there are a tonne of resources for homeschooled kids or preschoolers.. But none of them include Pagan related work.. There where Christianity, Common Holidays and even animals.. But I couldn't find anything for my son that was Pagan related.
SO, I took it upon myself to create some! I posted them online, for free, for other parents to use as well!


preview..


If you know of other sites that have sheets like this, then comment and let me know! I will post links to those sites on The Lotus Forest. :)

what?!

Can I cry now? Is that allowed? Do I have time for that even??

At first I complained that I wouldn't get enough hours to support my family.. Things finally balanced out and now they are changing things again!
Short notice, tomorrow is my only day off.. I have to work 37 hours next week. Sure, for the most part this may seem like a good thing. But we were living just fine off of me working 28 hours a week, and even that made me stressed and tired. 37 hours? I work six days straight.. I don't know If my body can handle that.. I want to cry just thinking about it.. Then, after this week I was told I will probably be working 9 - 6, five days a week. Maybe, they don't know yet.. I currently worked 10 - 5, four days a week.. It was a good thing.

My boyfriend works nights.. So on the days I work and he did as well, he would come home and sleep for two hours to take the edge off before I had to leave. Then he would sleep right when I got home if he had to work that night or stay up and come to bed with me if he didn't. We were getting some structure down...
Now, if I have to work those hours he has to stay up and wait till I get home after work to nap because he needs to watch our son. I have to walk home, takes about a half hour/fourty five minuets.. That meens I wont sleep till' about seven and then have to get up at eleven thirty to work.. Then do it all over agian. He wont have time to sleep!

So, not only am I worried about my already frail body falling deeper.. but im worried about my boyfriends health and in turn our son's for having to deal with cranky, over worked parents and not getting to go outside as often as he should because we are to tired or don't have time.

So, really.. Are these extra hours, for extra money to go to luxury's we wont have time for, worth it? No, I don't think so..

Scrapy Tuesday

The day I decided I would post what I have done in my son's baby book, and other scrapbooking adventures!

This is what I have so far. You can see I am not very experienced, and the older ones look nice, but not fantastic. I am very pleased with the two newest ones I have done!

Play Date

Today, Skyler and I are going to our first Play Date. I don't know if it will at our house, or theirs yet.. but it's no big deal, they live literally across from us.
He's nearly two and this is our first one.. Am I a little behind? Perhaps I am.. I am just picky who I let my son around and who I want to be around.. That's not so bad is it?


On another note.. My son is turning two in MARCH.. That's so soon!  To Soon. I know the theme I want.. but no one in town has good birthday supplies to match it.. It gets me thinking I may have to make them myself.. Which, isn't so bad.. But when do you have the time? I suppose I would have to start soon If I wanted enough things for the party to look really nice. And I guess I could just get cups and stuff that match the colors of the theme.
However, I was thinking I would NOT use disposable cups and plates (trying to be a little more green), but I can't imagine myself missing out on my boy's birthday by washing dishes! It's a bit of a battle for me, be green and help our environment a little more or.. Watch my son have fun at this great milestone in his life? Uuug. Normally I would say "My Son, of course!", but the environment thing still nags at me..
If anyone out there is reading my blog, tell me.. What do you do at your child's birthday?

yep.

So, im going to make a Solid effort in working on the blogging this.. I think it will be a good thing.

Perhaps I will even show you what im scrapbooking! That's better than you listening to me complain all the time, eh?

Oh and another thing... My house is a mess, and im mad about it.. that's all I will say for now.
