Babies, vistors and witch's

While talking to my sis-in -law today i discovered that my other sis-in-law is pregnant. Wait it gets better, we are only a few days apart. I'm still not knowing what to think about it all. I just know that it will be hard for the both of us. She is pretty much a high risk to. It will be interesting to see the turn out. Rocky was asking if i was going to have a baby shower and I told her yes. I told her my friend Anita has claimed dibbs but I'm sure that i might end up having more then one.

We have already begun looking for a bigger house. I'm hoping to be out of my 2 bedroom home by the time the baby is born. I'm not sure what I'm looking for but I will know when i see it. I know that in the mean time i do need to a sweeping of the house. I have always been open and kind to passing visitors in the house. My children have been taught not to fear them. When i do come across a new visitor I simply ask for it to not scare the kids and to respect the house and my boundaries. Most of the time i have no problems. I can only count 1 time that i had to get forceful in this house. Needless to say there is a presence in my house that is giving me an uncomfortable feeling. A sweeping is my kind way of tossing the negativity. If it so chooses to step up to me and react unkindly, it will learn just how powerful I am.

Today Kiersten came home asking about witches. They are now starting to study the 16th century witch trials in class. She had raised her hand and told the teacher that although she was unsure of the full story she was aware that she had ancestors on my side that were persecuted in the Norwegian trials and an ancestor from her fathers side that suffered the same fate in the Salem trials. Her teacher had ask for her to do research and to do a presentation in class. I told her i had no problem helping her but she needed decide what heritage to present. Her fathers ancestor was falsely accused and burned at the stake while my ancestors were accused and admitted to their crimes mocking and cursing all who looked on. She of course found my heritage more amusing. I told her we are actually of 14th century bloodline. Started out as what some would call shamans and evolved through the years. I told Kiersten that I would call her Nana and Grandma and see about showing her our family heirlooms and books. Normally she would be allowed to view all books once she is given her rite of passage. I however made the choice early on that she should be allowed to chose her own path. My mother and grandmother accepted my choice and gave it blessing. I feel now that she is asking questions that she should learn the heritage that has defined so many. I also feel that maybe it is time that i refresh myself
and my origins.
