Valentines preperation in Secrets of a crafty witch

The kids and I are making melt and pour soaps today. I dont have all my soap making supplies here, and i figured i hate going to a valentines day party and handing out paper valentines that are just going to get trashed. So we got cute note pads, stickers and are making quick and easy soaps for goodie bags. We picked out a unicorn mold. Each kid gets to pick a color ( out of 6 colors) and a smell ( out of a few dozen essential oils i have) one drop of each a color and smell in the mold and we have instant travel soaps. I think they will be cute in their little valentine day bags to hand out. I feel bad that im bringing 7 kids and only handing out one bag per kid. But im broke and this was already stretching. I could have spent 5 bucks and gotten each kid a box of crapintines to hand out at the dollar store. But i thought this was better.

Right now my house smells like a missmash of goats milk (soap base) lemon, frankincense, pine, Clary sage and god knows what else they put in the mold when i wasnt looking. My nephew put 5 drops of oil in a TINY travel soap! I was like WTF NO I TOLD YOU ONE DROP ONE SMELL. Hes like Oh. Like that rule didnt apply to him? Its easier to make these on my own but i was trying to be nice with the kiddos. Maybe tomorrow when the husband gets paid ill go get some candy and pad the bags with a candy too.

Ive started to cough. I feel like something is sitting on my chest. I dont want to get sick right now. Especially a chest cold… But in good news, my scab kinda… was scratched off my face. Now its just a scarred looking burn. But hopefully it heals without leaving a lasting mark.

Im feeling fairly down lately. The homeschool group is canceled for the foreseeable future. The mom is pulling her autistic son out of public school and refuses to bring him to meet ups. Which is hard. I think in ways he would enjoy it too. Not that i know what its like but i can only guess that he would enjoy being around other kids. Hes verbal and a repeater. But still. Its her choice. I wonder if she would be offended if i ask her if i can post about going to the park if any one wants to join… Shes really reserved so she may be. Im just lonely. So its really hard. I would really like some interaction. Without having someone to talk to every day im feeling so very alone. Then i realized that the ex friend replaced me with another friend in the group i helped found and she kicked me out of. And that made me feel even more alone. Ive been feeling like something bad is going to happen. Im hoping not. But its always bad news after bad news… So im just waiting for something else bad to happen....

Anyway i think its time to finish the soaps. Clearly my mind is wandering. Time to start melting the next batch of soap for the other kids to make their colors.
