I should be in bed...
I think I'm a glutton for punishment. I SHOULD BE IN BED. (and no, you aren't mistaken. TWO posts in one day. I don't think that has ever happened before!)
I am knitting:
a scarf for Grandma
a little cotton hooded sweater for Johnathan
fingerless gloves for my dad
wool hat and matching gloves for mama
drop-stitch scarf
Finished this week:
the other hat for the twins (who are doing quite well, btw)
a winter hat for my little man, it's getting cold here, mofos
a little drawstring bag made out of thin cotton (im working on stuff to sell)
2 drop-stitch scarves in purdy colors (more to sell)
I really want to get the scarf and JD's sweater done, but the things for mom and dad are for Christmas and birthdays, which all come before the end of the year, and technically JD won't be able to wear the sweater til January. Priorities, my friend.
And let's talk more about my boy. He is getting so big. Actually, let's not talk about him, lets just adore him.
Mummified for Halloween:

I have realized that everything is about Johnathan. I go to sleep early (well, try to go to sleep early) because of him, plan my entire day around him, play with him on the carpet for hours during the day. And it's totally cool. I understand him like I have never understood another human being, including myself. And we have this crazy bond that I can't even try to explain. The one thing I am having trouble juggling, although it is getting better, is giving JD my all and still being able to give Chris something at the end of the day. (And I don't mean a little somethin somethin, I just mean...my attention, I guess.) Johnathan was getting all of my everything, and I realized that my husband was suffering for it. (Don't TOUCH ME, I'm being a MOMMY right now!) How ludicrous is that? It's so hard, at the end of the day when I am emotionally spent, to give Chris attention and time that he needs. I am juggling it better now that I am not driving myself insane because of lack of sleep. It still needs to be worked on though. That shall come with time, I suppose. A gazillion bajillion quatrillion people have done it before me, so I know it's not impossible.
