Owlowiscious Girls

It took awhile to get motivated this week to be honest.  Last week I didn't get to write at all because our family was picking out a kitten!  Can you believe it?  I will post more pictures once we get the poor thing out of the cone of shame because she was spade and will have to have it one for nearly 2 weeks.  Also since I didn't make dinner last week I ordered a pizza but it took FOREVER to be ready so I didn't even get home till nearly 8 o'clock.  But I was able to spend some quality time reading The Wizards of Once by Cressida Cowell with Ariana.  This is a fun story about wizards who are being persecuted by the warriors but a boy wizard named Xar and a girl warrior named Wish team up together in an unlikely twist of fate.  We are a little half way done.  It is very suspenseful so far and Ariana is so worried about what will happen to her favorite character named Squeezejoos.  I did manage to read with Hermione, too.  The book we are reading together

I miss writing.  I miss not feeling guilty for loving to read and write.  Unfortunately bad luck seems to follow me or to say it a bit more dramatically- the Devil is attacking but God will overcome.  It has been a very rough end of summer and this obvious disrupts my schedule which in the grand scheme is the least of my worries, but I know for me just doing what is "normal" for me will at least help me feel like "normal" has returned.  Sorry about being cryptic but the situation is so complicated and sensitive I am not at liberty to share.  But  I can say that I will keep reading and writing.  That will not change.  I just have no idea if it will be once a week, once every few weeks, or once a month. Let me see if I can begin again..... This was the first official week of the start of school where we live.  I decided to try to do theme weeks again.  I am going to keep them going through 2020 so that I have plenty of time to plan them ahead and just have fun.  I
