Snow White I am not....( Around Dec 23rd 2012)

Hey, I found another font I like : ) Sorry , the little things get me easily excited, specially lately. If you have read my blog in sequence you are aware that I have had some difficulties lately. Also that I have been living in a house in the country like Snow White with little people my only company. Isolated from the modern world, through the lack of technology, mainly no cable, no internet, no radio and a broken carriage, I mean van.
Ok I am not in the middle of the forest but I am in the country, I have horses bordering our back yard, a dirt road that deposits white greyish, yucky mud in my driveway when it rains, and the sounds of cows in the not too far distance, deer occasionally can be seen “galloping” through and God only knows what other creatures are out there. Oh yeah, I once saw a pig around here too. The little people I share the house with do not go to work at a gem mine. I only live with four not seven of them and none of them have beards. Three are princesses, but not your typical storybook kind, trust me on that one! And there is one male, and I guess his ears are kind of elfish if you squint when you look at him, some days he is Optimus Prime, other days he is a handy tool extraordinaire cowboy, sometimes he is Spider Man. I never know who he will morph into from day to day. I swear he is part robot because it doesn’t matter what day of the week it is, whether we need to get up early or not, he wakes up at 7:30 am in his own if I didn’t woke him before that….
So you can imagine that after almost two weeks of only them for company and conversation for the most part, I was starting to feel a little cuckoo. Now I love my little house mates but after all I am a “queen” and even queens need to interact with “higher court” individuals once in a while. So you can imagine my glee today when the King Elf aka the little people co-creator offered an opportunity for me to get out of the palace and venture into the dangerous world of “Stores”. This is a dangerous time of the year to venture into other worlds away from the castle. See is almost Christmas and even though is a beautiful celebration many forget what they are celebrating to begin with. Some dwellers turn sweeter but others who normally hide the monster inside let it come out. Many drive their carriages like maniacs trying to get places a whole minute faster than they would had otherwise….and because …wait… what was I saying? See this is what happens when I try to write while the little people are still awake. I get interrupted, and by the time I get back to it I have no clue what I was getting at.
Oh yes! The little things. Like Ibuprophen lol Anyways, the weather was lovely today, quite warm actually for this time of year. I made it through the world of Stores in good time actually managing to accomplish my mission of assisting Santa Claus and the Wise men in finding Christmas and Three Kings day presents for the little people without going over the assigned budget. And trust me, as most of the kingdoms, the budget was very tight. After all Santa and the Wise men, are experiencing the effects of the recession too. Had to downsize the amount of elves in the work shop, really sad but even some of them got the pink slip, some camels did too on the transport department for the Wise Men. But God was good to me and I am guessing since Christmas is about celebrating His birthday, he made it possible in the spirit of the season. I breath easier knowing we were able to preserve the innocence of my little people for another year, I pray other’s find the same favor.
The king Elf was gracious enough to find me a radio from one of his knight friends for me to borrow and brought it over. I suspect my latest, not so friendly outburst gave him a clue that I needed some distraction and a way to find out what the weather is going to be. You see is very hard to figure out how to dress the little people for bed if I don't know. If they are too warm or too cold things happen….Too cold and the laundry pile may grow overnight due to waterworks, waking them up wet, cold and crying, too hot and they wake up in the middle of the night very grumpy also, which makes me tired in the morning.
Music has always been a companion to me. Since I can remember music has been a daily part of my life, in the house, the car, through dance and piano lessons. Music affects your mood, it can enhance it, make it better, match it, make you sad, silly, sentimental,happy. Music has a power of its own. When I got home and after the King Elf had departed back to his own world, the little people were obviously hyper. I turned the radio on and immediately felt like I had found a long, lost friend. There was an upbeat song playing. I started to dance and my oldest and youngest princesses joined me, the middle one was too busy running through a lava filled course along with the young elfish prince on the Star Wars World in the land of WII. We dance and laughed and clapped for a few songs. I left them enjoying themselves while I went about making dinner. This castle has no servants or workers of any kind. I am a queen of all trades.
So anyways such a little thing like a radio can make a huge difference in our kingdom existence. The queen is in a better mood and humming along now that music permeates the air, the little people break into dance here and there and we know how to get dressed for the day and for bed : ) The little things make a big difference. And like I stated in the beginning of this, Snow White I am not, as I am not a soprano but an alto, birds don’t come perch on my arm when I sing (thank goodness lol) and I am really not that fond of squirrels and I will eat rabbit without any qualms. No evil queen envies my porcelain beauty (have you looked at my pictures?) and my little people are much more entertaining, unpredictable and adorable than the seven dwarfs and their kisses and hugs are what makes this queen go to bed smiling and feeling warm inside no mater how cold is outside !
