The past month: air shows, company from Memphis, St. Louis trip during the heatwave, outdoor movies, mosquito bites galore, canoeing at the lake, plans for a new roof, a HUGE sale at the quilt shop followed by french onion soup, Avatar in 3D Imax, and lots of storytimes . Here's my shout out to these awesome ladies.
Hey, it's ok...
...to want to put your youngest to bed at 6 pm because the constant collapsing on the floor in tears is just not fun.
...to really regret dropping that cookie sheet on my big toe last May.
...to trust the doctors when they say we should get Claire's funky birthmark on her head removed. Yes, people, when I hear the phrase "cancer-causing," then I'm not bothering with a second opinion. She's getting it off, no matter how traumatizing it may be to her 1-year-old life.
...to think that Sophia is the world's best singer when it comes to "head, shoulders, knees and toes." She totally blows away the other 2- and 3-year-olds at the library storytime. Of course, I am only watching her, so I have no one to compare her to...
...to want to take a "day off" from normal life so I can finally USE the stack of awesome Anna Maria Horner fabric that is in my bedroom.
...to wander why everything in my life squeaks. It sounds like I drive a bus because my car brakes squeak terribly. NEVER go to Car X for brakes, by the way. I practically need to wear earplugs when I sew now. Despite all of the cleaning and oiling, I still can't find the squeaking spot on my sewing machine.
...to use my one morning to sleep in while Brett is home to look through all of my fun bookmarked blogs instead of actually sleeping.
...to wish I didn't need to sleep because I really really really want to be reading my friend's novel. Anybody know anyone in publishing? She needs an in.
...to be extremely thankful that my awesome husband lets me indulge in my creative side. Yes, we could have bought three dressers for the money that we have put in to refinishing the one in the garage. But, after stripping, sanding, buying a Dremel, getting cans upon cans of spraypaint, and purchasing new handles, this dresser and nightstand will look so good in Sophia's room.
...to wander why the people who had once owned the dresser mentioned previously would paint it with kelly green oil-based paint. It's like stripping off peppermint gum.
