Wasn’t planning such an extended break, but I have an extended family so I suppose these things are inevitable.

Now I’ve got to pack a week’s worth of housework into, well, today. Wish me luck.

I will never, ever regret moving to New England.

I’m resigned to winter.

But actively liking it? Ain’t gonna happen.

(And I wasn’t even the one who went out and shoveled the slushy muck out of the driveway. I don’t even like it from my nice warm chair. *sigh*)

(And OTOH? Great afghan-making weather!)

And tomorrow, I’m hearing, snowed in.

*sigh*

I’ve had a mental list of things to post about for days now, but no time at all to sit down and post them. It’s really, really crazy here right now, and not in a holidays way as much as in a 3 kids sort of way. I have the urge to call my mother and apologize to her for ever having been 3 years old. I’m also behind with e-mail and I haven’t answered the phone in a week at least. I’m not sure what’s going on, really, that this is suddenly all overwhelming, but it is.

I *am* updating the shop, though, with all of the things I have on hand. Not much point making them to sell if I don’t try to sell them, right?

I really miss having time to do the more arty things that I’ve gotten very interested in (like this guy, though he’s finished [yay!]), but it has to get better soon. If I can just hold on ’til the first of the year, I think it’ll get a lot better. There’s something about the season that seems to make the kids crazier than normal, even with no real outward signs of Christmas in the house yet. They know, you know? LOL.

Ah, well. Off to finish (finally!) a bookmark for an order that needs to be done very very soon now (hi Sharon!). More soon, I hope. 😀

Back soon.

Those posts drive me nuts.

So where was I? I have a ridiculous amount of energy, creative and otherwise, but no opportunity to focus it, and that’s beginning to wear on me pretty heavily. I’m dreaming crochet and I have no time to do anything other than crank out dishcloths for the craft fair thingy I’m doing in a couple of weeks. I hope it pays off.

It’s the whole brain-body-life mismatch thing again. Like I’m sitting in first gear with one foot on the gas and the other on the brake and I don’t know whether to let go the brake and go flying through the side of the garage I’m in, or whether to let go the gas and spend the next six months in bed, or whether I’ll burn something out trying to balance the two before I figure it out. Don’t ask me why I couldn’t back off both of the things and control the damned car already. That’s not me. Never has been. If I could do that, my life would look a hell of a lot different than it does. And I probably wouldn’t be dreaming in crochet.

This is the part where I feel like I said too much about myself and disappear for a week. Hopefully there will be another pattern ready by the time I resurface, though. 😀
