The Grind

My second day back at work... /sadface

Well, it's not that bad. I was thinking about it this morning and, if I had to, I could suck it up and do this. I cried all the way to work yesterday, but once I was here and distracted it was bearable. No tears today, and I am even kind of enjoying seeing everyone and answering emails. It's just depressing to think that I only saw the monster for 2 hours total yesterday, half an hour in the morning before work and 2 hours after I got home before he fell asleep. The hubs has promised that it will only be for a month, even if my part time job falls through. I can do this. I can do this.

On the creative front, I finally finished that damn diaper. It came out freaking adorable, and I put it on the monster when he woke up this morning. The fit was a little funky, but it was cute. I need to re-draft my pattern so the rise is higher. I don't know how these one-size diapers are supposed to work on giants like my guy. There is no way this diaper or any of his BSRBs will fit until potty-training, unless he is a rockstar and quits diapers as soon as he can walk. If I have the energy I'll work on a new pattern tonight. I have a World of Warcraft shirt all picked out for version 2.0.

(Side note - More Milk Plus liquid is na-stee. I don't know why they even make a liquid form of it when there are pills that don't taste gross. Yuck.)

I also had another brainstorm - flowers! They seem to be everywhere, but I can't find ones like I have in my head. A long time ago a friend taught me how to hand sew roses from silk ribbon, and they would be perfect to sew on to headbands or hair clips. The ones I made were from hand dyed silk ribbon, which I looked up and is a little out of my price range. But! I like dying stuff, and I found 35 yard spools of white ribbon for around $30. I think my entire first paycheck is going into fabrics and ribbons and goodies. Well, plus a nice wrap for carrying monster...sort of a present to myself for not quitting right away.

(Other side note - must start tracking purchases for theoretical business. This could be quite the tax write-off.)

Okay, back to staring at my empty inbox.
