This is most likely a huge indicator that I need to unplug myself from the computer and deal with my child. No more escaping into blogland. Sometimes I wonder if we're raising a generation of children who will become angry, not because their moms didn't hold them in slings or feed them a well-balanced diet, but because they watched us stare into flourescent computer monitors, into our flashy phones and jabber on and on into our tiny bluetooths. I know I'm guilty!
Time for me to get off the computer and get intentional about my day, my role as a mother, my children and their lives.
Wish me luck! Lord have mercy...!
I had to end this post on a somewhat happy note. Here is a gnome quilt I made for a friend. He brings a smile to my face, and I hope my friend's baby will like it too. One day, maybe one day, I'll have a nicer camera to document these kinds of things. But for now, my Canon PowerShot A550 will have to do, as well as my poor indoor lighting. *shrug* :)

I do love that quilt !
Did you get to go to the Library in the end ? Or did the toddler angst continue ?
Oh yes, the toddler angst continued. She did not get to go to the library afterall. We'll try again today :)
Thanks Elizabeth!
beautiful! Toddler angst is not easy... (not that I have kids but my friends do!)... love the quilt!
Your quilts are amazing.
Hugs, toddler angst is so hard. And then, of course, you get teenage angst.
My mother tells me I am quite lovely now :)
Katie, I think what is most important is that you are there...
not that I'm saying stay on the computer. Perhaps set a timer, I have to do that...
When I was chasing kids and trying to take care of everything (wait, I think I'm still doing that, somewhat!) I read a paper on raising kids, and the result was that being around is sometimes more important than giving total attention (the old quality vs quantity argument). That we are there and available as mothers is as important as total attention...
anyway, your description of V made me smile-it's not far off is it? She'll survive-you are a great mom!
The quilt is charming - :)
Love and ((hugs))

I'm always so in awe of your honestly and openness. It is so encouraging to hear others struggle with the same issues. Issues one is certain, at times, that they are the only one.
Hugs!
