Then it popped in my head, the most cute and wonderful idea, and it HAD to be made. I should have stopped right there, but you know how those wonderful ideas are. So I started working on it, and it was almost like I was cursed from the start. My serger and sewing machine were misbehaving, my kids(all 4) were misbehaving, and I swear even the house was misbehaving. Things broke, messes were made, and situations were dealt with. The project was scaled back many times, but I was determined to finish SOMETHING.
So I was down to the wire this morning. I had a finished shirt, and all I needed to do was get Cassie, 16 months old, to cooperate for a picture and I was done. Why I thought getting her to cooperate would work, I'll never know. She has recently learned no and un uh and she loves to express her option. Did I also mention she hates playing model, unlike her older sister. So then, because of course things couldn't be calm other than trying to manipulate a toddler, my husband kept calling for traffic updates from his car because they'd closed the route he uses for work. **cue internal screams** Yeah, it was on of those mornings. So, despite the insanity, I managed to get the older two off to school, the younger two ready, and have pictures, albeit terrible mostly unedited pictures, uploaded. They really are terrible pictures!
So, the moral of this tale is, sure, I could have given up. I have lots going on and precious little time, but I also need to create. It's what sustains me. Sure, my entry wasn't the best I could do, not even close to it, but I did create something. So next time? Next time I need to plan my time better and hopefully I'll have a little less chaos. So next time? GAME ON!
