2 year old boy dreams

last night i found ozzy thrashing and crying and calling for me in his sleep.  he wasnt awake.  i went over to him and carefully picked him up saying 'mama's here.  what's wrong?"  he doesnt open his eyes, he's still sobbing, answers, "ozzy scared!"  "what's scary, baby?"  ozzy says, "big truck!"  and i know what he's dreaming about...the day before we were playing outside when the garbage truck came onto our street.  as it got closer it also got louder and because we live at the end of a small cul de sac, it had to pivot into our driveway to turn back around.  the massive roaring garbage truck coming onto our driveway completely freaked ozzy out (i think he thought it was going to crush him?).  he ran away from the truck, shaking from head to toe, crying that it was scary. 

i soothed him and told him it was a dream and the big truck wasnt here and he was safe.  and he slipped easily back to a calm sleep again.  i layed down on the bed next to him, but i cant fall asleep.  i lay there w/my eyes closed anyway and then i hear ozzy moving in his sleep.  he's making chuffing noises, and driving something with both arms moving in the air and he's in bliss and i know he's dreaming about his trains.

Rainbow Magic Birthday (Mimi's 7th Birthday)

this year was a particularly difficult year to plan mimi's birthday.  after rob's dad became terminally ill, i didnt think it was good time for a party for mimi and her friends, so we decided it was best to skip a party this year and just have a quiet family dinner out.  then after dad passed and we slowly started to get back into our routines again, we all began to feel bad about not having a party for mimi, so we decided to have a party after all...although, a much belated party. mimi said she really wanted to have a party here at the house.  she really really really wanted it here, so i told her she could, if she kept it small.  since she was turning seven, i allowed her to invite seven friends. then i tasked her with thinking up a theme, and she finally settled on a favorite book series of hers called Rainbow Magic .  how perfect...each of the book sets in the series showcases 7 fairies, whether they be the rainbow fairies, the gem fairies, the party fai...

Gardening My Albatross

 sometimes when i think about giving up on life in general, and sitting like a blob all day, unbidden my mind fills up with images of a neglected garden turning brown, rotting, dying, and thats often enough motivation to keep going, if for no other reason than to prevent the desolation from becoming reality.  is it weird that when i think of dying one day, that i get sad knowing my garden will die when i am gone?  i dont think anyone else would go tend to it when i am no longer around.  i hope they will at least keep a plant or two in remembrance of me, but the little pollinator waystation i've been working for several years now to create will likely be razed and no more.

Ozzy's Chut Dol (korean first birthday)

this saturday we celebrated ozzy's first birthday. in korean, this day is called the Chut Dol, the 'first birthday', and it is an important milestone. in ancient times when infant mortality was high, if a child reached his first birthday, his continued survival was generally assured and thus a cause for great celebration. the tradition continues to this day. it's a fun and special way to celebrate the child's first birthday. the invitations: i found some 'korean dol' digital scrapbook images online that i used to make these invitations to ozzy's birthday party. i printed out several copies of the flower and cut each part as an individual layer and layered them for a dimensional flower. the symbols on either side are the 'longevity' symbol. and the little tag is korean words that say, "happy birthday" when the card is opened, there are two panels on either side. when these panels are fully opened, there's information behind...
