Nothing of consequence…
…to say that is.
You may find it interesting to note that I seem to be considered quite an authority when it comes to swallowing and pooping out coins. This post has prompted more emails than I ever expected to receive, from worried parents whose children had also swallowed coins.
In other news, I think I’ve just taken the longest bloggy absence I’ve ever taken since beginning this blog over two years ago. This past week I’ve been super busy working on various blog designs and various etsy designs. Yeah, I opened an etsy shop, since I guess I don’t already have enough going on in my life. I’m just driven and sometimes stupid that way. Still, I’m excited about it. Right now all I’ve got up are photo cards, etsy banners and blog designs but I’m planning on selling some of these. Think I’ve got a chance? I think my design is really cute, but I’m pretty sure everyone thinks anything they design is good.
THEN, yesterday I woke up sick. I thought it was just a basic cold but then my body started aching. I am totally feeling wiped out. Yesterday and today have been crazy because of it. The kids are fending for themselves mainly and watching way too much TV because I haven’t got the energy to do much more than sit or lay around. Feeling crummy leads to crummy parenting. Blah!
I hope all of you sweet people who have stuck around reading are faring better than I. It takes work on this blog to come up with good post content, because I write more from the heart here than at my other place. I do have lots to say about some recent experiences but am still figuring out how to compose it all.
Thank you so much for your continuing comments and emails. They really buoy me up when I am down and make me feel connected when I’m struggling with the sometimes inevitable loneliness of stay at home motherhood.








Hope you feel better soon! I’m coming out of a nasty flu-type thing myself. It’s horrible when you don’t have your health.
Well, I think the bags are super-cute. I hope they sell for you!
And again, I know I said this on Facebook already, but I do hope you’re feeling better soon. I absolutely know what you mean about feeling crummy leading to bad parenting. Happens to me every time I get sick. Or just tired of playing the role of mom, sadly.
Anyway… congratulations on all your endeavors. I hope they’re rewarding! I’ll continue to follow you here, of course, even if I don’t always comment.
I think you could totally sell those bags - they are super cute! Hope you feel better soon!
How come you are so incredibly talented?? You can do anything. I loved the little flowers. You should go into business. But then I say that about all of your ventures. Love you, Grams
Your etsy shop looks great! :) I still need to check the link to the bags! I’m excited! You are VERY driven AND creative! Good for you!
Sending love and hugs and sunshine your way! :)
Love the bags. Hope you feel better soon.
Boy, I’ve missed your blogging. And I was very glad not to see the title of your previous blog pop up on my screen. I wanted to see you all chipper and back at it. So glad you’re back.
I can’t find a tape measure! Argh! I’ll buy one when I go grocery shopping today, promise.
Yay for all that you have on the go - you’re amazing!
Hope that you’re feeling better soon!
