Sewing sewing and more sewing

Yesterday I went over to my friend Tara’s house to work on the ginormous sewing project some more.  It’s still not done and I am really tired of it. Especially seeing yards and yards of blue material. I was there from 2 till 11 last night before my kids started having a total meltdown. Funny how you think your kids have no sort of routine at all but then you realize it big time when they are not in there own familiar surroundings that they do.

So needless to say I will be going over there at least 1 more day or 2 to finish up and deliver the product to Maryville Women’s Center. They have taken the step to help the environment by moving to cloth gowns and drapes. Now if I could just convince Dr G to open a birth center I would be in heaven. Though after the emotional stress of having a miscarriage I am not sure if I want to get pregnant ever again. I guess time will tell but I am not getting any younger and Anger is getting more grey hair. I love it but I think our kids have caused a lot of it. Poor Anger in the past 30 days alone has had to deal with Bubba putting a hole in his head and then trying to shave his lip off. He gets way more emotional over the little mishaps in life than I do. I figure with 3 boys the odds are stacked against us and we will become very good friends with the emergency room dr. My good friend Jennie also has 3 boys and 1 girl and for some reason it always makes me feel better to hear that the same shenanigans are going on over there all the time.

Yesterday while at Tara’s I learned that she has weened Christiana. I believe that she is 2. I am sorta ambivalent about that as it seems that Christana was not ready. However we all have our limits and Tara was really at the point that she needed to be done. Weaning is bittersweet and something that is truly a personal choice for each nursing pair.  I know after 8 years straight of being pregnant and nursing I would love to have my own body back but its not my time yet. Plus I figure what did god put women here for? Part of my life is supposed to be devoted to producing and nourshing out next generation. I took that a few steps further by also deciding to home school but we all know I am a control freak. Speaking of home schooling I have started using Education City. It is an wonderful online program. It has the ability to change to your state standards and all kinds of nifty tools. I can not say enough about it and highly recommend it to anyone who can’t get the hang of the traditional book and paper aproach. There is also a free trial if you want to just check it out.

Okay I am off to ponder the hell of my life that is dinner. Fold some laundry, and knit a bit.

Oh the wonders of being a stay at home mom……
