Text of the page (random words):
e with a force so powerful i later had to clean the inside of a closed wooden chest which holds our shoes as i sat there in astonishment at the epicenter of the spew i stripped mucky moxie down and yelled for help from rob who just happened to be in the house at the time careful to keep his feet on dry land he laughingly reached across the gorge and rescued our little puker from the great puddle that was once my lap he kept on laughing as he took her into the bedroom to change her diaper and get her comfortably pajama ed while i took care of the damage about the time i got the floor mopped up and the furniture clean i heard a loud exclamation still covered with barf i ran in to find rob hunched over a naked startled baby moxie on our bed and pulling all four corners of her changing pad up around her he was paralyzed i knew exactly what had happened geyser i asked she s in a pool of pee he cried desperately grab something help i brought in a towel we managed to make a less than devastating transfer the bed only got wet on his side heh so this was a first it was moxie s first complex blowout i know there s still room for another level of achievement but hey a 2 in 1 is impressive and a funny way to conclude mama s bout of personal melancholy today the first day of spring i got the last paper a medical form filled out and signed and turned in to the agency there s nothing more to do now except drive to the courthouse monday with my people pay some legal fees stand before the judge and smile and cry as he pronounces us a legal family what moxie and i went a thrifting and found us each a good outfit to wear to court on monday and only spent 12 hey rob and moxie and i attended the annual book collectors conference luncheon at byu rob prints their keepsake every year and this year he also taught a workshop on lino cuts it was nice to see some friendly familiar faces and to introduce them to our little party crasher we three spent the afternoon together we visited the south valley pound and pondered dog ownership again considered adopting a hulking backyard bunny that looked like a dalmation and watched with great interest as a prison inmate and one of the medical staff chased down a hellcat that flew out of its cage when someone opened the door to refresh its water have you ever watched an angry cat go insane escaping and run up walls we went on a ramble down spanish fork way first we got hooked by a promising sign that said huge estate sale and gave directions we drove and drove following more signs in this series and after about a dozen arrows and maybe that many meandering miles we found ourselves in woodland hills up against the mountain a nice place forested with a beautiful view and some good houses but the estate sale cruddy leather couches an old pfaff lampshades and worn out mormon vinyl lps osmonds motabs carpenters lots of beige and plaid we were duped but it was fun anticipating the treasures we didn t find and it was interesting exploring that area we found an antique store we hadn t been in for some years bought a small cheerful treasure discovered that moxie seems to like creepy old dolls anything with a face maybe but the antique dollies appeared to capture her interest most what does it mean we ll have to pay a visit to cat s cradle antiques soon to test her tolerance finished off our time with byu creamery burgers and fries then headed for home rob and moxie were both such great company today our little girl was bright and in great spirits all day and we all laughed together a lot the world is beautiful right now with all its blooming and bursting the only downside to this kind of fun day is that it has to end rob has to work late and moxie is peeved that she is called upon to sleep oh well still worth it a few rounds of reading singing fighting against the zzzs succumbing waking crying and yelling and i got her settled for the night finally with kisses and promises that we ll have another day in a few hours i worked on a project while my people both worked on their own and at the end of my day i dipped into my creative account and ordered two instruments online if you re still reading this travelogue can you guess what they are it was a good first day of a new season it feels like a party when the world begins coming to life makes me want to sing or make something sing

shopping 19 march 2015 mothers need mothers i have gotten a later start than some on mothering but my hope and plans are to keep myself clear minded able bodied and strong enough to love well for a long long time to come if moxie has a child herself one day there will be times when she cries for her own mother s comfort and wishes for familiar relief and support and maybe perspective i want to be able to give her that relationship in the flesh i want to remember what the good times and the hard times feel like so she ll have an empathetic friend in me even if she doesn t have a child of course but right now i m having specially keen grandmotherly visions because i miss my own mama so much i wish she would come walking through my front door mothering is kicking my butt yes i love it it shreds me some days posted by geo on thursday march 19 2015 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels but my lips hurt real bad matriarchetypes parenting there s no place like home 17 march 2015 around my heart in 181 days this is fun http www timeanddate com date duration html i always liked playing with calculators my folks bought me a fancy one for high school that did all sorts of great higher math tricks plus it could spell it was during the time when it was a popular game to make words out of numbers did anyone else do this or am i the only one who geeked out making a texas instruments scientific say hello key in 0 7734 and turn your calculator upside down see fun sadly this probably won t work with your smartphone but if you can find an old calculator in your parents junk drawer you can teach it to say words like hillbillies legless oozes and hey even my name geo here s a list of possibilities to get you started http www presentandcorrect com blog 250 words you can spell with a calculator so there s this beautiful baby in my life my ladyfriend my small woman my seedling my mighty mox my daughter i wake her up in the morning and she smiles hilariously i spend the day feeding and caring for her teaching her playing with her and trying to solve the great puzzle of mothering and she accepts many of my efforts i sing her to sleep at night poor little thing she practices talking through a megaphone in the middle of the night she is a funny intelligent delightful creature and today she turned six months old that s 181 days i ve been there for every one so far she s circled my heart countless times since september and i am bound captured it s joy to love this child and to watch her become herself i do not have words to express the depth of gratitude i feel for the opportunity to be a wife and mother i m glad my husband and i are making this journey together next monday morning rob and moxie and i will go to court and be able to finalize this adoption we thought we were going to have to wait till late april but we just learned that we can shave a month off that expectation standing before the judge will be a small moment but one that changes history for all of us forever this is a great age six months there s so much discovery i m amazed at the rapid solid way little humans grow and learn moxie s projects today were with my help practicing pulling herself up to sitting and balancing and without my help finding new items to snatch while playing in her walker yesterday it was just a dish towel that hung on the fridge door today it was the dish towel an outgoing box of thrift store donations magazines books and her daddy s bathrobe luckily i got to the bathroom garbage can before she did i m surprised to have to start babyproofing so early but hey it just means she s becoming capable and independent right naps and spoons are becoming more familiar drinking or something like it from our water glasses and tongue scrubs are favorite fascinations nose wiping results in thrashing wails but the nose sucker now that s entertainment i give her a chance at the piano most days while she sits on my lap today she attacked the keys with enormous enthusiasm giving them her best pounding yet and throwing her whole little force into making those sounds she likes to dance with me and ride around on me supervising and grabbing at whatever i lay my hands to she gets excited about books as well and would like to devour them this is typical all babies do these kinds of things but how incredible is it that i of all people get to be here experiencing this my mind is forever blown and i want to savor all of it i can i can t count as high as my amazement i m going to need one powerful calculator to help me add up all the good words belle bibs blesses bliss posted by geo on tuesday march 17 2015 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels a miracle a

comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest my angels i quit my opiates cold turkey yesterday to get my head clear enough to prepare for the arrival of baby moxie her placeholder name till we find something permanent today i woke up hurting and sick and it was hard to come to life as i lay in bed trying to sort myself out i got a call from my little nephew f he s getting into a real groove with facetime lately and it s fun last night he had his first awful migraine they run in the family and today he felt headachey but better it was nice keeping each other company a while i love my nephews and nieces early this evening two of my nieces the littles came over and climbed into bed with me i didn t spend the whole day there just most of it we talked about moxie they had questions they wanted to see a picture of moxie s biological mama d the older of the two little girls said to me for every loss there is a gain isn t that a great thing to remember and very true in this case here i am recovering from a hysterectomy that i didn t want and voila here comes a baby that i do i try always to pay attention to my nieces and nephews they are all such good people and often wise moxie s bio mama wants her to grow up around blonde children so she ll blend in well we ve got it covered i invited the girls to toss out suggestions for a baby name a thought of several names most of which already belong to other beloved cousins but she also said rose which set us off brainstorming flowers i pulled the language of flowers down from the bookshelf and d and i perused the possibilities while a played one of my ukes and wrote a song lyrics living in the west make a lamp make a tent sleep well she added two more verses later i like to hike i like living by myself a serenaded us and then d and i settled on naming the baby bluebell speedwell so there you have it after dinner with family d wanted to braid my hair always a great activity when you find yourself with a pokey convalescent who ll do nothing but sit still for you d made me a fishtail am i not a mermaid i m a lucky auntie at the very least i was also blessed today with a grownup visitor my beautiful friend nancy it s a rare treat to get to spend an hour with her her visit was a light to me and a lift and i realized while she was talking that i ve had a great ministering of angels earthly angels recently probably the other kind too other friends have come in person or have written loving words a few family members have come too these have checked in after my surgery they showed up after i made the big announcement yesterday they bring baby accoutrements cheer happy tears sometimes laughably sober hospital faces food friendship and interest i love their good energy i love
