I did not now what to call our new vision land thread. Always wishing to imagine and roam I picked a word from random in the dictionary, cause I did like AT ALL the description they had for visionary. Hence we are the land of litotes. Where the quiet messages are found for those who look for them that vision of farness beyond the self bringing greater insight, intention and bearing into ones own life and into all things.

Yep, I'll have some boys in blue - they can stay up with dd while I sleep - the surfers ran off when dd woke up yelling !!! Would love to come and eat you out of house and home paps (did I really eat that much at the party??) but will wait until I can rely on dd going to sleep at night first tho!!!

melsy · 27/08/2004 14:07

Wayhay party at paps house next summer !!!!!!Get the chocolate room ready yumyum!!!!!!

wobblyknicks · 27/08/2004 14:08

YAY!!!!!

glitterfairy · 27/08/2004 20:51

Count me in! A land of litotes come to life reunion.

Wk she doesnt need ten years in the creche my dd 9 now asks for a lie in. I recall the days when she woke all night and sigh and say no!!!! lol as she stomps off to read Paps visualisation book and hang my name on her trouble tree.

Am still following diet in rl so am off to the yurt now for some cake!

Papillon · 28/08/2004 07:43

Just had to rush onto deck and announce that the first nite of moula denial has gone exceedly well. Gave baby paps a little bit of water instead when she woke up - which she did afew times - but hey not expecting miracles.

At no time did she cry - just afew shouts then abit of chitty chatty. But I am so proud of her - she did not freak out and we did afew hugs and on the whole it was very beautiful. The next trick will just get her not to wake all the time. But hopefully now that the boobs went to boob creche she will get the entire picture soon. I did feed her at 6.00am and that was great cos then we all slept in till 8.00am!!

gf - thats good, I'll settle for about 6 years then - should that do it??

paps - great news!!! really glad it's going well, can she come and give mine lessons in good nighttime behaviour??

melsy · 28/08/2004 17:36

awww thats great paps, hope its not long till she sleeps through.Very proud of her. The water should do it , as she wont have much to wake up for , unless shes a thirsty little munchkin!! Hope the next few nights go just as well.

Ive come back from my head massage all chilled and woozzzzzeee , but nice woooozzzzzzeeeeee. Im have been sitting on the deck with my jug of water that i have been reccomened to have all afternoon. I have to go back for some more sessions as i have blocks from years and years of tension , but she helped me start the healing. It was amazing. I found out my therapists B'day is the same as dd's . Which is a lovely suprise as shes such a lovely lady. I always have very spiritual , physchic and transcendant experinces when she treats me ,as her energy is amazingly beautiful. As she treated me I could see white & lavender glowing powerful light around me and I felt such love and joy. It really was very very special this morning.I astraled all the way to my favourite place in the world which is Sedona arizona , but in particular to a place Ive been to called montezuma castle (an ancient possibly aztec tribal dwelling). I suddenly felt very very at home and at peace. Im wondering if I had a glimpse of a past life being a dweller there. I felt the same energy when I visited last year. isnt odd how you should just go somewere spontaneously like that . Ive also just realised looking at pictures online that I designed a piece of metalwork at university about 10 years ago based on arizona juxtaposed with contemporary architecture and looks earily like the castle !!!!! Id never been until last year, oooh life is getting very interesting spiritually!!.

anywayback to the here and now, I will sleep very peacuflly In my litotes bedroom , which is all soft, quiet and calm.

glitterfairy · 29/08/2004 07:58

Hope everyone slept well. Am up ready for the gym and thought Id say good morning.

Have been at ballet festival this week and have a day off today hurray. Paps dd needs you as she had a bit of a bad time at the festival and has had to share my bed for reasssurance the last two nights. Will get her on msn later.

I have sent her to the land for some healing and a dip in the sea spa and she can have her nails done as well if that is ok. Perhaps to the yurt as well for some hair extensions in day glo purple.

Melsy that experience sound awesome and very calming.

Wk lol it will get better and then she will start to answer back go off in a huff and say "Oh mum derrrrrrrr" in a most infuriating way.

Papillon · 29/08/2004 10:27

Not alot planned today and have turned on MSN so dd9 and I can perhaps catch up. We can hang in the sea spa and get our nails done together - then have some fun with baby paps later on the trampoline Will send a pic of you and her.

Baby paps seems to like her water bottle just as much as moula OH NO....!!! oh well I am now and am enjoying the sleep in time we have been having.

Had a lovely day yesterday with friends at the pool then an a barbie at their place. She is pregnant and is planning a home birth with the midwife we had last year. The due date is almost the same to AND our birthdays are a day apart Need some Yurt medicine though as drank lots of lovely vino

Played volleyball and got sand everywhere

WK how is the Zombie state going?

Melsy glad to hear that you are having a special time and I am kicking myself now that we did not do any visualisations etc together. Guess I was too busy sleeping all the time !!!
But when talking to your dh yesterday he said that he would send you over soon!
I think it is wonderful that you are careful to mini melsys health and it is better that you take her to the doctor than leave it. My doctor as said to me if you are worried then best to come and check. Good that your doctor reassured you that she is healthy.

wobblyknicks · 29/08/2004 10:54

melsy - glad you felt good after your massage and glad you're still in 'coincidence mode' - wow!!!

glitter - I'm actually looking forward to that!! I'll let her sleep in all day and pretend I'm not a mother for the morning!!! Hope you're dd feels better soon.

paps - glad you're having an ok time of things (apart from the hangover!!!). I'm slightly less of a zombie today - my parents have taken dd out for an hour and I gave in totally last night and have decided to give co-sleeping a try for a couple of weeks. I know it can lead to all sorts of problems with settling later but she won't settle NOW so I'm not exactly risking anything!!! Felt her gums this morning and there's a tiny little tip of a molar poking out - no wonder the poor little lamb won't settle. So we have the night-time sorted but I still don't know what to do with his grizzly highness in the day!!! Never mind, I just keep thinking of the blissful time I'll have when she's older and I can reason with her more (WHO am I kidding!!!).

glitterfairy · 29/08/2004 16:45

Sorry Paps not been on MSN today getting clothes for school and shoes! Also they are off to the cinema as it is RAINING again. Am really glad have booked somehwere warm for New Year as I feel starved of sun so am hassling off to the summer room for some rays.
