So, yes ANOTHER exciting day for me....1) I saw this X-cellent comic. Some people may not read the funnies, but I consider them a essential part of my day. I like Bizarro, because it is weird and I like weird.
2) I used my scanner for the first time!! Woohoo! I thought that it was going to be really hard so I have put off figuring it out since last Christmas... Well, my nice husband told me that there is this "magical" button, called "SCAN" and you simply press it and Voila!!! A scan!
So, excited about the possibilities... which is why I asked for this in the first place...
3) I am getting back in to my mommy groove...the kids have been getting colds, the daddy has been traveling, the sister has gone off to college... It is not seeming too overwhelming any more.
4)There was a really great podcast the other day, the Creative Mom Podcast #63 about being gentle with yourself. You should check this one out. (and others too, she has great music, inspiration, ideas about crafting with kids, and just accepting that you, yourself are an artist)
5)Speaking of podcasts I LOVE, LOVED the interview that Jennifer A-H did with SouleMama the other day on CraftSanity. Listen to it...
That SouleMama is really inspiring and after listening to her story I am feeling a bit sheepish about being critical (no, I think it is really envy or jealousy)because she is such a WONDERFUL blogger/Mother/Human...

She was just really honest about how she views her blog, and how it is really just a snapshot of a day and how she chooses to focus on those wonderful moments and let the rushing and crabbing parts of the day be left off.
Here, I thought that she was in denial of those moments and was feeling grumpy about it. I do need to take myself down a notch every now and then... yes, I do...need to keep it real.
6) Getting the craft back on...finished a HIDEOUS (i.e. Lovely) pink scarf...just need to figure out how to make it uncurl...also started my Estonian autumny shawl/scarf, very excited.
7)Be back with more trip pics soon...

Don't think I've said "welcome home" yet. Your trip photos are wonderful. I love my scannner and know you will too once you get the hang of it. Thanks for "keeping it real."

i always like your lists & seeing/hearing/reading about what you're up to...

Should I listen if I am not a craft queen? I think so! I am with ya on taking the expectations down a notch. It is all good. Glad the transition back is getting smoother.
