September 7
I spent a lot of time talking to people today, which is not one of my favorite things. I had lunch with someone from church, caught up with Siggi, and then spent time with friends from cheer. I think I made more cheer friends than Robin. And I’m glad!

I finished reading the Frederick Douglass book. I am learning so much, and I am so grateful. My mind is full of new ideas, things that contradict the things I previously thought were true. I want to read more. Who knew that one day at Fort Sumter would lead to this? That one day changed…

It was a pretty productive day. Took the kids clothes shopping because Robin wears the same three items every day and Christina has grown so much in the last year that not one item she owns fits her. There was a moment where I had to threaten to pick Christina’s clothes out for her if…

The merry-go-round continues. This is going to be a long school year. I decided to bow out of the chorus, at least for the first concert until I establish a bit more of a routine. I think that for now, I’d rather be there for my kids for the short amount of time that they’re…

I may have sewn some ornaments while doing trainings at work. I still have a lot of work to do.

Bunny is all done, wrapped, packaged, and ready to mail. I had fun making her. Also today we did some school shopping – we went to the St. Augustine outlets and bought the kids new shoes, a couple special new items of clothing, some bras, and Auntie Anne’s pretzels. And then we made fish sticks…

I finished knitting bunny. Now blocking, stuffing, and dressing. I also spent almost four hours trying to finish up the bedroom, but still not quite there. It’s looking good, though! I also got to have lunch with Myrna, whom I haven’t seen in ages. It was a pretty full day.

When we tried to install a Ring doorbell by ourselves and shorted it out within an hour, I called an electrician to install it for us. He quoted us $915. So Billy bought a $25 part and goddamn it, we did it ourselves. So far it’s still working and the house hasn’t burned down, so…

Christina’s been working on creating a board game in math and she went the extra mile to make these custom game pieces for it. All their little eyeballs fell off in her lunchbox, so Mommy got a chance to use her glue gun tonight. And now I can say I had my part in her…

Sha’lyce requested a stuffie and I am happy to oblige. This little girl is knitting up so cute, but my fingers are numb from using the teeny tiny needles. It’s worth the pain. Now of course Robin and Christina each want one too. I’m making theirs with bigger needles.

Did a lot for a day with no plans. The highlight for me was doing some sewing on my advent calendar, now in its third year of progress. For the kids it was making collages. When did magazines get so expensive? I bought two and it came to more than $30. I might as well…
