Craft autism.

It's been one of those days.

No, weeks.

I take it back. I guess it's been one of those months.

Not bad, but it seems that my body just cannot keep up with my brain. Do you feel me?

Projects, projects, projects. And none with a specific deadline, so I just keep dipping my little ADHD fingers in all sorts of honey pots. I meant NOT to sew tonight....and instead, I have spent the last 2.5 hours at my machine. And it's been a successful and gratifying experience--but that just fuels the fire of this obsession.

The next time you see me, please tell me it is inappropriate for me to applique and embellish all of my children's clothing. Because I just don't see an end....

Anyhoo...all this to tell you that I find myself in an autistic-like state, dreaming of all things felt and ruffled and lettered. Oh! And I think I may have learned that putting my kids down for a quick nap upon their return from afternoon preschool is an idea INFINITELY worse than not napping at all.

As witnessed by Big J, the other wondertwin, who peed himself in anger when I woke him from his way-too-short slumber.

It appears that sleep issues are going to be a larger monster to tame than a rogue 4-year-old bladder. Interesting.
