Today, my daughter announced to me that this is the last day that she is 11. Tomorrow is her 12th birthday!
Last night was also her stage debut, and there will be performances tonight and tomorrow as well. I am in awe of the director's ability to work with kids, channel their energy and creativity, and make it fun. Her grandmother arrives today and will get to see the performance too.
I, the Home Ed flunkout, am sewing the Halloween costume (the stuff in the stores is so inappropriate for girls, it makes me really mad), and it is going to be great if I can get it finished in time, between grading papers, working on website upgrades, and all the other la di da of the job. The weather is gorgeous right now, and we'll have a big pre-Halloween party for kids and adults at the farm.
My 49th birthday is next Saturday. We are a double Scorpio household, with our birthdays bookending Halloween and the Days of the Dead. It's a great time to look back over the year: what have we done? what are we grateful for? what do we wish for the year ahead?
My Free Will Astrology horoscope for the week suggests this is a time of regeneration, so I want to think about being a phoenix today.
