The past month: quilt show and shop hopping, Little Gridiron, new gigs with big clients, surgery and Frankenstein stitches, a new gig for Brett, a new rendition of "Where is Thumbkin," new client/old friend meetings, and a freezing art fair. Sharing the love with these awesome ladies.
Hey, it's ok...
...to score an awesome repeat gig with a huge client but not have any motivation to do it because I'd really rather be behind my sewing machine.
...to yell on the sidelines of a Little Gridiron game. Yes, they are 3rd and 4th graders, but helmets and pads require screaming aunts on the sidelines.
...to be 100% composed and confident going in to Claire's surgery this past week, and then feel like the most awful parent in the world when they brought her back to us with this terrible head wrap and totally wacked out from the anesthesia. I've never had that moment with her when I couldn't comfort her. She just screamed for a good 15 minutes, and I could do nothing. Nothing. Mean, mean mommy. She was pretty much back to normal when we snapped her in her carseat upon leaving the hospital, so I didn't feel like a rotten parent then.
...to seriously think of dressing Claire as Frankenstein for Halloween specifically because of her head stitches.
...to be really proud that Brett was awarded a position on his company's new (and bigger) airplane, but really be dreading all the time that he will be away for training. Bye, honey. See you in a month.
...to not allow Sophia to sing "Where is Thumbkin" in public because her "th" sound comes out as an "f" sound, and she drops the middle "m" sound totally. Think about it. You'll figure it out. To top it off, "where" comes out as "we're" and she doesn't bother saying the "is" in between the two words.
...to be extremely thankful that Facebook allows me to keep in touch with old friends, who email me years after we last talked and ask me to do some work for them. Bethany, you are awesome. I would much rather be working on your project than this other big gig that I have going right now. It's nice that we can totally pick up where we left off though.
...to want to have unlimited funding to give to all of the artists at the Carmel International Art Festival from this past weekend. I was floored with all of the talent. People should know that they are surrounded by an immense wealth of local talent. I feel bad that they all had to sit in such cold weather though. Burrr...it probably didn't help their sales.
