Is there a poodle in your doodle?

Man! The kind of baby talk I come up with when changing diapers. It’s criminal.

So. What is it, ~~Wednesday? Only Wednesday~~? Damn. Thursday, you say? OK then.

This week started out hideously low, lower than low, Mariana Trench low. Cormac would not sleep and would not sleep. I said some things in my Lullaby Voice that I am glad he does not have the vocabulary to understand. I drafted posts in my mind to the tune of “Girls, Make Sure You Refill That Birth Control Prescription.” I cried. It was double plus ungood.

And then, in the afternoon, both boys gave me an hour of uninterrupted Quiet Time. I scooted straight upstairs, opened my Machine Made Patchworks Vol. 2 (thanks, Japan, for being so cool) and started sewing.

And from there, things have generally been looking up. Amazing what a little Zen Time can do for a body. Those anxiety fits from last week are calming down — I totally and completely have you all to thank, you and your wise words of advice and soothing. I am still doing pretty well on my new Eat Healthy regimen, although … I am having intestinal sadness again. I don’t know what’s wrong with my insides but I am pretty sure something is. I have a referral for a gastro doc so I’ll give him a call sometime. Surely. Surely I can find some time in the day to call a doctor.

Anyway. Things in general: looking good. Lots of Christmas gifts to start making. Found a great recipe for peppermint bark, thanks to a friend in Tennessee. It snowed yesterday — thanks, Weather! And we put up our Christmas tree. Oh, and Mac slept through the night and Owen has taken to calling me “Honey.”

Things are looking up. At least that’s what my perpetual inner optimist keeps saying. I have no choice but to listen to her.

I’m sorry that you’re still not feeling well, but I did have to giggle at “intestinal sadness.”

And if (*when*) I get a sewing machine for Christmas, I am so coming to you for tips.

two things about the new layout (just a critique from a fellow designer [hey! i took webdesign sophomore year! that counts!]):

I’m not digging the default boarder around the pictures and how’s there’s no Flickr update on the side. D:

I agree, katie. when I get the chance I think those are two things I’m going to change.
