This spring is insane already - I have so much to do and only so much time, which is typical for Mommy but not entirely always appreciated.
Not only is BooBoo attempting to try out for Olympic Gymnastics 2030 off of every surface in my house (couch, coffee table, Peanut's bed when I take a rice cake from her) and trying to electrocute herself and her sister by watering Mommy's computer with the fry water ~ long story, but with them both being That Age (Two and Teething) it can be a little frustrating. Sometimes I just want a moment to myself without the screaming and crying they both love to assail me with. Being with them all the time is such a blessing, but it's work... tons and tons of work. Tired is so not the right word.
I also have been approached to start Another at home business. This also exhausts me. I've already tried two and not done very well, which really is my fault. . . It seems that I join, do pretty to very well, then another baby comes along and I have to pour all my love and effort into them. When asked to visualize and come up with a dream that would motivate me through anything, I think of how great my life is right now - a lot of my dreams are so far off that it's hard to concentrate on anything more. Granted, when I ask of my 'support system' "why are they approaching me", it's also difficult to get excited when the answer I get is 'a warm body with 2 kids, plenty of time, and a probable need for money'. Shoot, no wonder I want to do my own thing where I can do what I love on my - and my girls' - time schedule
Now that those small issue has been aired, time for this week's fabulousness <3 I have a commission! My wonderful friend for whom I am learning to crochet wishes me to make something for a friend due around the same time! I'm totally excited, and not sure what I want to do... I think baby blankets will probably be tops, but also planning to make some cross stitch samplers for the site that can be personalized for the customer. I am about half way though an iPhone 5 case, plan to finish my mom's project in time for her upcoming birthday, and have charted out the perfect project for a friend who is getting married next month!
I have to admit, I'm a little self conscious that my breastfeeding self will be "that fat lady" in the photos since I'm a bridesmaid. However, it's not that big a deal in the long run and she loves me for who I am and probably already knows. Most importantly, it's an amazing day for an even more amazing lady and her wonderful family. And so not about me, my lingering baby poundage, or my insecurities. It'll be fab!
Progress Bar:
Sunday Mystery Sampler - still bordering the black, not really tracking by weeks on white but done with angels, stars, and the shepherd "I'm coming, Jesus' Parents!" (I'm doing two, one with each pattern - black is MSII, White is MS)r
Peanut's - ~24%? (about to start the bottom Bunny and block )
BooBoo's - not started
games... not really been working on at all this week since I've been catching up on our Netflix, cleaning the DVR after bedtime, and going for more scratch cooked food <3 But I did manage to clear Episode One in Lego Star Wars with Ryuu
Love and Peace, Y'all!
