body count

I'm outnumbered.Two kids.One mother.The laundry is in terrifying piles as are the dishes.My patience is wafer thin and I am trying to do it all without the medicinal glass of wine.Blah.Its not even that I can't stand husband being away.The boys and I have a good routine and between school and after school activities the time goes quickly.On the weekends I almost prefer it. We go to food markets and have picnics and go out for breakfast.Things that husband prefers not to do.Its the adult conversation I miss.Only small voices to be heard day in day out.

Unfortunately this time around he is away when I really need someone to pick up my slack.And boy do I have some slack at the moment.Two big commitments back to back are just about killing me so the house has been sacrificed.And I volunteer too much at school so days fly by without so much as a full days sewing to be seen.We have had over two weeks of it now and another six I think to go so please bear (grrrr) with me.I won't be here much at all.Having said that of course I'm sure I will make a liar of myself and start posting regularly again but I know I have been terribly crap this year(hanging head in shame).

And our bedroom looks like  a sweatshop.

I am working on new mobiles.new dolls,new childrens costume(s?) and a few other bits and pieces and thats just one group.

Ok.Thanks for listening.I have to go-the boys are scootered up and waiting by the front door.Guess I'll be stuffing arms and legs on the street!!

Oh Clare! Those mobiles! They are absolutely gorgeous. You've been such a very busy beaver - I LOVE them!
I know how it can get without hubby around but boy he sure is gone a long time. Is he working on something exciting?
We blogland peeps will understand if you're not round much, and look forward to your posts when you get a free minute!

Life gets so busy doesn't it? Thinking of you and hoping that you find the energy. Also hoping that you find some adult conversation from somewhere, because quite frankly another six weeks without is enough to take anyone to the brink!

The mobiles are beautiful and so pretty bunched together like that.

Good luck with it all. x

Sorry you are overloaded down there! Wish I was closer to give a hand.... If it makes you feel any better, my house looks like a tornado whipped through it and I don't have any excuses for it! :) I am doing 6 loads of laundry today and have 7 toilets to clean- they really are a bit disturbing- eek! I just vacuumed up dust balls that are about as big as our little dog and now I have decided I really need to paint! Best of luck on stuffing all your little people and don't forget to have fun with your dolls that are talking to ya! haha! Love the mushroom mobiles! Very cute!

I do not doubt that there is anything on earth more beautiful than the woman with her curves and sensuality, but tell this beautiful woman, this is my contribution.
