Beltane was...

in a good setting, as the Ritual Room was ready and everyone agreed I had done Good Work in making the room peaceful and calm.

painful, as Wolf showed up during the grounding, wrapping his arms around my waist and laying his head in my lap.

helpful, as once we got started in the Magic Work, Wolf let go and treated the floor by me as the edge of a pool, floating under the wood and resting his forearms on the board next to me with his chin on his wrists and commenting on how fun and theatrical Nightfall is.

sad, as I cried for about half the Ritual.

hopeful, as we did get good energy going for our Seeds of Cultivation.

exhausting, as I stayed up past midnight with no naps and was up before 7 due to kiddos.

full of motherly pride, because while IDK was coughing most of the evening and night and all day today, he helped RBD and I with the kiddos.

frustrating, as IDK is obviously sick, AGAIN, and I can't send him to school tomorrow because his coughing fits triggered vomiting fits three times since 8 am.

Early bedtime for everyone tonight, presuming the Cuteness ever gets up from her self-imposed nap.
