Want to know what's up?

a quiet weekend

Mind numbingly insane from children overload, I sent the older troops out of town with daddy this last weekend. I positively entertained the thought of no children and made arrangements to relieve myself of the the littlest, too. However, after the big ones departed, my Lil and I snuggled on the couch and watched "Sky High". When she had fallen asleep, I got up and straightened up the house. Doing this with out any noise made me realize I didn't want to be all by myself. (Too lonely, too scary at night.) I canceled the arrangements, turned off the TV, put little one to bed, and sat at my machine to sew. Ahhhhhhh such peace.

Saturday we awoke by 8, had pancakes for breakfast, and went for a walk. Then she played outside and I did some more sewing. The interesting thing here is that my machine decided to crap out on me this weekend, and I felt no tensional frustration about it. I pulled out my first machine, took the back off, figured what's wrong, realized I couldn't fix it, but could still sew w/o making it worse, and slowly started to finish my shirt. (The gear cogs slip out of place so the teeth don't mesh and the needle won't go up and down)( I just have to keep pushing the clutch in and out until the cogs line up again)

There was no yelling or screaming this weekend, no tattle-telling, no fighting over toys or the guinea pig. I enjoyed it sooo much I will definitely have to do this at least once every three months. Not three years.
