So maybe my first post should be all-out earth shattering, but really I just need somewhere to put all those thoughts running through my head. Who really knows what journey I'm taking here, but maybe the reasons one starts things can morf into something bigger.
Currently I am in my almost 9th week of pregnancy with my third (and probably last) child. I don't feel good. I just keep thinking I only have 4 weeks left of this feeling. It will be worth it. (Hear that positive self talk?) My husband seems to have sympathy pains, because he is just as unmotiviated as I am to do anything.
My 2 boys, ages 5 and 3, are in preschool so I get some one-on-one time with each every other day. This saves me from an all out breakdown. They are totally cute when they aren't biting or punching each other.
Wednesday Eli created his first sewing project. He begged me to buy him a flat quarter of some Halloween spiderweb fabric. I really didn't know if there would be any follow-through there, but I set him up originally with a needle and some thread. His stiches were straight, but very far between, so when I felt a little better I stood behind him on the sewing machine. Let me just say I'm so proud. He's not even a little out of control. He presses the foot so steadily its like he's done it forever. ( I used to teach sewing lessons to ages 5-12 and believe me when I say control is key.)
Well, I've got to get lunch and a kid off to school. TTFN
