Today's dilema

Here's something that puts butterflies into my stomach.

It's a whole hour or so from our new house.


This is why I am sitting here just dying...my ds's birthday is in Oct. I'm going to be leaving the house on his birthday to attend my first seminar to begin my journey to become a doula. It's a long intensive weekend seminar. I get to see some good friends & the woman who inspired me & helped me bring my gorgeous little boy into this world is the instructor. This yarn school is the week prior. I would give my eye teeth to go. It looks fabulous. I could even commute if it was absolutely necessary, but dh's job may not be condusive to my attending this workshop the week prior to the doula workshop. I haven't completely ruled it out yet, but I'm not getting my hopes up too high yet. Ya know?


I just found out about the doula seminar recently & dh was all for it. Perhaps if I wait until after we get into the house & settled a bit & then bring it up I may have a better chance of schmoozing into it. It's killing me that it's so close.


That's my pity party for the day.

Toto, we're back in Kansas

To my fellow residents of Kansas, seriously, no offense intended. I'm a Nebraska native. I love the midwest. But am I happy to be here? Absolutely not. At least the trip to get here was not as awful as the trip to Germany 2 years ago was. I had NO problems bringing my knitting on any airplanes (we flew United btw). I did only have plastic & bamboo circulars and no scissors. I brought cotton & wool in my bag so I could just break it. I continued on my mindless washcloth escapade. This is good because I threw out the old, desperately needing to be replaced washies as I finished cleaning in the old house. As of today I have used up all the cotton I packed in the suitcase.

The best news is virtually all of my crafty goodness will be in the new house by Tuesday. Monday most of my fabric, paper and yarn will be there. All my sewing machines will be there by Tuesday. The trick is organizing it into a new space yet again and quickly so I can seriously get back to work again.

I am so ready to be out of hotel rooms. We all are.
