Serious amounts of updates!

So about a week ago my son spilled water all over my laptop. I was helpless as I struggled with internet withdrawal. My phone helped me through (It is fairly smart). It took about 4 days for my beloved laptop to dry out and I needed to feed my addiction. I caught up on facebook and email (I have 2 email accts, so I had several hundred messages).

Knowing my blog desperately needed updating I had so many other things to get accomplished first. I am now kind of-sort of caught up so my blog can get the loving attention it deserves.

Over the last 2 weeks I have learned of several pregnancies within my inner circle, including 2 cousins! Babies are another addction of mine. So many happy congrats are going out to all of you (you know who you are). I have 2 dear friends who found jobs. I don't think there is anyone in the world more deserving than these two women. I am so proud of them.

Silver Dollar City (the amusement park in Branson, MO) hosts Scout Days every year. My oldest is a Cub Scout so this is our second year going. It is also the second year it rained :P Not cool. My son says it is cursed. I may have to agree with this. While heading toward the flying butterflies my 3 yr old daughter fell. She immediately developed a lump on her head. I went tearing through the park toward the concession area in order to get ice. I was wearing the baby and she didn't appreciate the bouncing, but she is zen so she dealt with it like a champ. After pushing people out of my way (I got lots of nasty looks, but my daughter was hurt) I got the ice and first aid was called. One of the park's EMTs checked to make sure she was ok, gave her an ice pack and free ice cream, and declared her ok enough to ride the butterflies. She can't eat ice cream because she has a dairy allergy so the boys shared that treat and we bought her cotten candy instead. She will heal, but the drama of it all nearly sent me over the edge. My boys have had plenty of falls and bruises, but they are boys. They are rough and tumbly. My daughter is tiny and pink. I know pink is a color, but I swear it describes her personaliy perfectly. She can be rough, but she is also dainty and now her poor head has a lump :( Heal fst babycakes.

I think that is a good summery of the most important things that have happened since my last blog.

I beleive in feminism, but...

I will probably piss someone off, but here it goes. I like being a housewife. *GASP* It is true. I like making my own household cleaner and hanging fluff up to dry. I like cleaning while wearing an apron and I love homeschooling (this part surprises me). I have no desire to work outside the home.

I consider this feminism. WHAT??? Yup. I have made this choice. It wasn't forced on me. Nor was it expected. My husband doesn't expect me to be a housewife. He is supportive of my decision and I bet he likes I am at home, but when I worked he was just as supportive. I do not judge the moms who love working. I do not judge the women who do not want kids. I may not understand their feelings/decisions, but that is the beauty of being woman. We are all so vastly different and we now live in an age where we can follow our hearts and not live a life that is "expected" of us.

We need to stop the judging and instead embrace all that is woman. Do not judge me because I homeschool and breastfeed in public. Do not judge my friend who works full time and sends her child to daycare. Do not judge my friend who does not ever want her own children. She is happy being an aunt. Instead let us fight for our rights together. It doesn't matter if we are fighting for equal pay or breastfeedng support. We need eachother.

We are firey and diverse and beautiful. Embracing this has made a huge difference already so why stop now? We need to support one another even when we don't live the same lifestyle.

Why am I writing this? Because I know in the future someone will get pissed off, or offended, or flooded with guilt because I am writig about my life or because I post something I believe in. I just want you to know I do not judge you and I firmly believe we need to drop the guilt and live the best life possible. We need to unite and support.
That is my firm opinion.

Love and peace

Once again I have surrendered to the goat...

Only this time the goat's name is Twitter. Yup, I can now Tweet (if I so choose). It all sarted when Sesame Place decided to use Twitter and decided that in orer to spread word they were going to have a contest. Follow them on Twitter and get entered to win 2 season passes. Bah. All the good contest are for people on Twitter. Long story short, I surrendered. So, if you have a Twitter cct I am @organicmommaof4.

Oh, and don't forget, my faithful 6, to suggests names for my blog. I will announce the name this Friday-ish(April 16).

Love and peace.

CONTEST!!!!

Thus far I have a whopping 3 followers. I, however, am not discouraged since I just started blogging and I am just now writing my third entry. So I thought to myself, "I have 3 folowers! It is time for a contest!"

When I started my blog I wasan't sure what I wanted the title to be so I just named it after my first entery. I knew this was temporary and that I would change it soon. Well, I decided YOU are going to change it for me! Comment on this post and tell me your suggestions! Offer as many as you wish. Be sure you tell your friends about my blog so that they can offer suggestions also.

I bet you are wondering what the prize will be. Well, it is the deep satisfaction in knowing you 1) named my blog 2) have inflence over my decision making and 3) have my unending gratitude. Totally worth it, right? :)

I bet you are also wondering what my blog will be about. Well, I am a bit ecclectic and I am thinkning my blog will be also. I will share organic/green tips, stories from my life, homeschooling info, Celiac and allergy-friendly recipes, sensory processing disorder (SPD), and just about anything else that happens to tickle my fancy.

So have fun with it. All suggestions are due by April 16!
