building a home with log

Building a home with log, working a ranch, raising twins, watching them come and go, fall between the cracks and die! What a time of life. But I read these other blogs and I think what the fuck, who are you and where oh where is your life. Besides in mediocrity-ville. No offense but have you ever just sat down on a mountain side for a week and thought about life? My god all the ipods and cell phones, TVs ,new houses, cars and latest gadgets just make me want to become a hermit! I spend all my time running away from them in my own house. Superficiality right?  I do not have the answer's but I think about where its all heading at least, I wonder if the young people even have a chance for retrospective? My plan is to spend the summer, with  my kids and no phones, no computers, no vidio games, outside studing nature, creating, playing and growing. Well for now such is a rant.

Hoping to finish an be moving in in June??!!

This is the new house as of January 2011

March madness

March has been quite stressful and I am dealing with it quite well, so far and knock on wood. I think part of the reason I am is that I have been in the process of learning how to eat raw. I guess I am about fifty to seventy per cent raw. I love it and I can absolutely feel a big difference. I feel cleaner and more energy. Less stomach and bowel problems. I have also decided that the cell phone and the computer have got to go at least for the summer, as soon as school is out and the house is done. They are stressful for me and they take away from my healthful path. I want to spend more time with my kids. I want to have fun with my kids. I want to hike and explore, sleep out side, create gardens and paths, swim, fish, do art and take trips, I want to learn how to ride a horse with Gracie, see Tucker learn to ride a motorcycle, write more poems, grow more food, go bare foot and lose weight, love more worry less and live to the fullest with out a whole lot of outside influence. I am hoping the transition to all of us living together is a smooth journey and the right coarse to take in our lives. I want peace, simple joy and wholesome living. My kids need this. I am looking forward to helping Vicky some and I hope it will be enough help for her?? Not sure how much I will be able to do an d I am not looking for a full time job, I am looking for balance in my life and kinda feeling my age, and I am ready not to work so hard, but to create more. I am excited and scared at the same time. But I like who I am becoming and I like who I am today mostly, except for the stress so here's to the next year and it feels good to write in here!!
