all the things
Friday - Went home early, feeling like death. Got mobbed by kiddos. Tried to sleep, got mobbed again. So I took Emi downstairs and worked on her new dress for a bit. Came back upstairs, felt like death, went to bed reeeeeally early.
Saturday - Emi's first soccer game! OMG it's started - the getting up early on the weekend because munchkin is doing something. Oy. But she had a total blast. Ox had a meltdown because he was FED UP with not getting to go out onto the field with the big kids. I was going to run my Scion game but by the time we got back from soccer, Ox was wiping his nose on anything other than a Kleenex and Emi was coughing. I dozed on the couch and watched football instead of doing anything requiring thought.
Well, that's not entirely true. I started crocheting some monster slippers for Hogswatch gifts. Need to start crafting presents early, yo.
Sunday - Tried to sleep in, but got foiled by kiddos. Funny how that works. Washed All The Things (dishes and clothes) and tried to do some decluttering/straightening. Downwood took Ox to the grocery store, so Emi and I finished her new dress! It's red costume satin with a sheer black overlay. The black has metallic spiderwebs printed on it. I made a black satin spider out of a remnant and appliqued it to the bodice with glitter thread. I also made her some gauntlets with the same black mesh over the red satin. Throw in a red superhero mask and you have a Spider-Emi! It's pretty boss, if I do say so myself.
We also tried out the Cuban coffee maker my Florida customer gave me. Good, delicious, wonderfully caffeinated stuff, man. OMG. I now have NO REASON to go to Miami...unless it's to get more of the special coffee for the coffee pot. So good.
Today - Went to the dr for an annual checkup and got the fantastic news that my age demographic no longer needs annual pelvic exams! Yay! Instead I got gently told that I should drop 10 lb to get my BMI closer to "normal", that I should do what I can to take care of myself, and it's okay to be overwhelmed with kiddos. Downwood's upset that I forgot to mention that I don't seem to get restful sleep anymore, but I plumb forgot.
I remembered dance stuff tonight, so that will be good.
Pumpkin ice cream is amazing stuff.
Having trouble coming up with cope. Werk is not a good place lately.
Things I want to make (a list for no reason but to get it out of my head):

Things I want to make (a list for no reason but to get it out of my head):
- Moar monster slippers!
- Baby blankies for our neighbors
- Tutus for our neighbor girls and my almost-neice
- xmas placemats for my MIL
- Surprises for my family
- A pillow from the fabric left over from the monster blankie my sister asked me to make her. I showed her the fabric and yarn and told her to choose colors. So she did.
- Brownies.
