Still have two arms to go...

Thoughts on St. Valentine's Day

I am sitting watching Jakey swim at the YMCA and thinking what a great
St. Valentine's day it is. There will be crafting later and playing
outside and swimming with Liz. I made lunch for Liz with hearts and
doilies, and a nutella sandwich, not to mention a piece of apple pie
in a jar! It is a great day.
Now onto the rant...
I am tired of hearing women complain about being alone today, about
husbands/boyfriends being gone or being single. Whatevs! My husband
is out. He is underwater and I haven't heard from him. I am ok with
this. The last thing he needs is to hear me complaining. If today is a
day of love (which everyday should be) then let me celebrate with my
kids and share my love with them. I don't need shitty stuffed animals
that play music. I don't need cards and knick knacks. I am more than
happy with them sharing with each other and giving each other hugs and
kisses.
I shall be a proper pioneer, and make do with what I have, and what i
have are three of the most fantastic kids in the world!

Happy St. Valentine's Day.

you know your a mom when...

there is a stick of glue in your back pocket, and you almost take it out and use it, instead of burts bees.

you almost got me, Elmer's... almost.

What a difference a day makes.

Wip wednesday.

of course i still have the regular knitting going. the koolhaas, the
toe up sock, pat's annoyingly boring extremely large socks, you
know... the regulars... but this week i have been working on something
spring-y and summer-y... something that the kids are going B-BONKERS
for... i am kind of embarrassed that it has taken me since Sunday to
put it together, but then i take into account that i have 3 kids (one
of which is still a baby) to take care of, and a house to keep going,
so i cut myself slack. it should be done today. i only have to
attach the slide, and add the baby swing, and anchor it, but still...
here it is!!

its been a long year...

and i have this to show for it.  

i saw this shirt, and thought it was the best!  and now, i realize that this shirt holds all my hopes for her future.   i am lucky enough that i have a great relationship with my parents, i have known (and loved) all but one of my grandparents, i have an awesome group of friends, and although it is hard sometimes, i think i am doing a pretty good job of holding my shit together.  i hope that she can have all those and many years to come.

happy birthday Miss K!
