Another New Beginning


I have cut my hair - short and sassy.

I have colored it - loud and vibrant.

I have a nose ring - hopefully small and pretty!

I have a new job - hosting scrapbook sessions and selling product.

It fits in with my part-time job at the school, and my busy kids.

1 has braces, the other will have them in June. Constant orthodontist appointments as they are adjusted and readjusted.

We are getting a dog. Was supposed to be this month, I am secretly hoping to leave it till September, since I am crazy busy with my new job.

We are going to an orthodox church this month, to celebrate easter. (Every month the kids and I explore a culture/country/religion. This month is Russia.) The services are quite intriguing - all done by choir or chanting, mostly standing, fairly ornate (fancy dress, incense, many icons, candles, ect.) We are liking them. It helps that there are more children than adults - more child friendly than most orthodox churches, I think.

We will be coloring eggs this week, learning how to do Ukrainian eggs, and going to a midnite service. Also, trying to bake some traditional Russian Easter foods, and my first alone Easter dinner - always hubby or mom was there to help. Okay, actually, they did it all, I just helped peel carrots and things. So it should be interesting. Will probably have to go out for pizza at 8pm!

At school, the children are taking part in many Earth Day activities. Field trips, plays, trail cleanups, fundraising for the nature park, sturgeon release (a rare fish being 'saved' in our area), and more.

Busy, busy, busy. Did I mention that already?! Lol.
