So..how's my aura?

:evilgrin:

As OceanSpirit posted, I actually made the break--I am DONE with the negative-energy workplace. It's my second whole day at home, and I have yet to train my brain that this is permanent, not just a couple of vacation days!

My departure was less than stellar, as OS noted. The VP couldn't manage to say ONE nice word about me, not even after somebody forced a speech out of me at my pizza-and-wings lunch in the conference room. He just slunk out at the first available opportunity. The office manager gave me my going-away presents (which were very nice--a tote, a teddy bear in the college colors, a travel mug, and a nice leather portfolio for my freelance work--I know she picked them all out with care and I appreciate that!)

Folks were basically nice but unconcerned (with some exceptions of course--my true friends were pretty upset) and as OS said, I left without shedding a tear. The place didn't deserve any. And I had been planning on leaving for so long that it was downright anticlimactic--just the final phase of a long procedure.

OS was GREAT, decking me out in a tiara and Mardi Gras beads and a magic wand with a star on the end (I granted wishes to whomever asked--bet they didn't know I was reiki-ing them for real!) and our friend the photographer took us to a photo shoot of his in the morning where there was coffee and breakfast goodies. We sat around there for about half an hour, just shooting the breeze after he got some photos.

So...how's my aura lookin' now? I've been very tired--I think my body is trying desperately to make up for lost sleep, so to speak. Not sure how long that phase is going to last. MG Jr. is VERY clingy, almost as if he's also afraid that this is only temporary. (He doesn't even want me to go to the bathroom without him!) But I'm sure he'll settle down once he gets used to the new routine.

I've already started putting in bids for freelancing jobs online. Haven't gotten any yet, but it's only my second day, so I'm not too concerned. And Monday, when Jr. is at school, I'll start making my phone calls.

It is a very good day!

Thanks to everyone here for your support!!!!

:grouphug:

Onward!

That's so great! Take all the time you need to rest.The part about your baby made me tear up. I know you will both be so happy now that you have more time with him.
I know you will be fine. Visualizing lots of jobs coming your way....:hug:

:hug:

And this little fella is worth it, no?

"bright eyes" gets his mommie more !!!!

Am so happy for both of you.

Due in great part to your wonderful reading, of course! You helped nudge me toward the finish line.

Bright Eyes is ecstatic, but he checks every morning just in case--"Mama, do we get to stay home this day?" Now I can say "YES"!

What is it with the blonde hair blue eyes around here?

Blonde/blue indeed. Is your cutiepie a crystal or indigo (or rainbow)? I know that doesn't have to be a child-of-the-new-millennium trait, but I suspect it's pretty dominant (unless family DNA like African-American or Latino overpowers it). Just a guess though.

I'm not sure if he's crystal or indigo. I believe I and husband are indigo anyway; so I bet he's crystal. How would I find out?

The following extract describes the difference between Indigo and Crystal Children. It is from Doreen Virtue's article Indigo and Crystal Children:

The first thing most people notice about Crystal Children is their eyes, large, penetrating, and wise beyond their years. Their eyes lock on and hypnotize you, while you realize your soul is being laid bare for the child to see. Perhaps you've noticed this special new "breed" of children rapidly populating our planet. They are happy, delightful and forgiving. This generation of new lightworkers, roughly ages 0 through 7, are like no previous generation. Ideal in many ways, they are the pointers for where humanity is headed ... and its a good direction!

This is a nice site too:

I am having a blast with all the articles. Thanks!

I believe I am correct in my assesment. I know for a fact that my husband and I are indigos. This makes me feel better about what we have been through and what we are creating for our little one.
Everything seems to be on track.........

Sorry for the hijack ;)

really caught my attention. Look at the eyes on your and MG's little dolls!

it felt as though he was seeing right through me in a really amazing way. Thus the "bright eyes" nick.

That was a sensation I simply NEVER had before online or very rarely in RL. He's a total gem IMHO . You can tell I'm not totally in love with his oh so wise spirit/soul can't ya?

Am a total sucker for the little ones generally but this one got me GOOD. Through the internet no less.

Just think this littlest crew can fend for themselves but more mommie love can only help. Lord knows how when they go to school, time just passes so fast.

Then before you know it, the fundamental urge to pick up a child to comfort them on one's hip becomes physically impossible due to their sizable growth.

That was one of the most bittersweet moments of mothering for me.

Then before I knew it my kid was funnily throwing me over his shoulder onto the furniture. He still gets a kick out of it.

Yikes.

Truly treasure their toddler dome if ya can is all. It sounds so totally cliche but it truly goes by so fast.

We may owe them that at least given what on the surface, we appear to be bequeathing them.

cliche or not, it is True. I wondered where my little kid went! He's still here, but much larger :D

Mine likes to pick me up and swing me around in circles. We used to wrestle and play a lot.
So we still have that. They only grow up once.

and they have a yahoo email list too. FYI . http://metagifted.org/

Can't recall whether I've already shared this with you, but given that we're still within 24 hours of the lunation (optimum time for purification baths) . .

Here's the 12th of my "19 tricks or Weapons of massive Creation for Global Amelioration". . .


"12. I stole this one from now rumored to be reincarnated, though used to
be, old "sleeping prophet" Edgar Cayce.

Take baths. If you have no bathtub available, then bathe around. Aaaand
don't tell me that you have no extra time for baths, as baths take about
15 minutes, showers take 5-10. No one is really that busy or all too
important to not be able to do so.

Cayce recommended adding 1 part baking soda to 2 parts Epsom Salts
for baths. That stuff is really cheap. and readily available. I add
my fave oil (lavender). You can add yours. Ritual full immersion is
an age old, time & tried tradition for more than just physical
purification. It is especially so for more sensitive sorts. It is great
to do during lunations. That would mean, once every two weeks or so.
It is alleged to release all sorts of accumulated psychic effluvia
from bodies and auric fields . I just know that when I take one, I
invariably feel reborn, and am reminded that I too have a life, instead
of contemplating the troubles of others all the time as is my
ridiculously inherent proclivity."

Shake off all those residual unhappy employment vibes and let them go down the drain. :woohoo:

I'm confused. The new moon is 17 Feb, isn't it?

Full Moon was at 12:45 am Friday morn EST. Check the links on the OBSW thread for details and to witness my demotion. : P

tra la la

Duh..... :silly:

I was just completely obvious.

Found a great article on the new moon, which I will post when I get home.

:applause: :toast:

What a trail this has been, eh? It has been exciting to watch you go through the process.
Nice haul from the office!

The pain of the place will fade with time. I was eventually able to drive by my former slave chamber without my stomach tying into knots. (it was on a main road)

How do you feel? It is good you are taking time to rest. You've been through a lot.

Do you frequent the writers group on DU?

Congratulations on getting over that mountain. I'm proud of you. Knew you could do it.

Did she ditch us? Or am I just paranoid?

I'm sure that we'll see her around.

:)

A thousand apologies to the entire group! I have checked in from time to time but the little one is NOT letting me respond! GAH! :crazy:

I promise that I will write everywhere I've been longing to write--on this thread, and in response to my PMs that I've sorely neglected--Wednesday, while Jr. is at school.

Just goes to show DH that although he thought otherwise, there is NO time to write while kid-wrangling and actually cooking dinner on a regular basis!

Be back soon! :hi:

and do slobber all over "bright eyes" for us won't ya?

Then again, maybe not. He may get an aversion to the computer or somethin'.

Maybe just a few squeezes then.

Enjoy and know, you're still adjusting. You'll find your groove and thank goodness grandma's nearby. Maybe spoil him wickedly for a while though. I really don't think we can spoil little ones. Only enrich them. Discipline comes far later. For mine, the only threat I ever made in terms of discipline, was the illusive threat of "Charm School" for his awful monosyllabic phone habits.

Maybe structure your time with rubber bands for a short while. It'll be fine.

:grouphug:

LOL,
I know what I speak of. For 17 years, I was a stay at home mom. I always used to joke, Work? I have NO time to go to work. Geezz louise!! I had four kids to care for. My two and my brothers two. All under the age of 5. Yea lots of fun. LOL, but very fulfilling. I loved it. Much better than being stuck in a toxic office environment.
Gosh MG, I miss you so much in the 'hellhole'. It's just not the same without you there. No great political talks, no talks tomorrow about GG. DANG!

Your cooking? What's that???? LOL. What no Weggy's take out?? Wow, hubby must be in wifey heaven. LOL

Okay enough teasing you. Come back soon (here I mean)

No interesting gossip yet to pass on. I'll let you know when there is. Oh BTW, they finally finished up the asbestos removal from your office today. Dang girl, you know how to go out with a BANG!! :nuke:

Love ya hon,

Oceanspirit

Thanks to EVERYONE for their good wishes and congrats!

:grouphug:

I've gotta say it's just downright weird being home day after day--but a GOOD weird, if you get my drift. I've already gotten a couple of very positive nibbles on my freelance prospects, and I just finished taking a proofreading TEST (snarf--I feel like I'm in school again) to be a PT proofer for a publishing house.

'Course, I haven't managed to conquer all the tasks I set for myself regarding housecleaning and renovation, but I figure I'll cut myself some slack--it's only been a week, after all.

:rofl:

Overall, this is a Very Good Thing.

Oh--and that "going out with a bang" reference in OceanSpirit's post? Apparently she came into the office on Monday morning to find...this...



My office and the idiot manager's office were taped off! Seems over the weekend the pipes in the ceiling leaked and trashed part of my old office, and since the pipes were wrapped with old-fashioned asbestos insulation tape, it became a hazardous area till they could clean it up properly.

All I have to say is "I DIDN'T DO IT!" At least...not intentionally...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Best to everyone. I may be checking in less frequently till Jr. gets over his "Mama come play with me" phase, but I will post when I can!

Bright blessings to all of you! You guys are the best!

it isn't Jr, come play with Mama? Ya'll are having a blast! Good on ya.

You know you didn't do it (intentionally), but do THEY know that? :evilgrin:

I've been rearranging and deep cleaning my house. I don't have a time limit. So far I have at least a start on every project, so it's moving. Be gentle with yourself. :hi:
