Today was lovely and odd all at the same time. I went to the pool to do some wading, but felt sick after about four minutes. I did twenty anyway, and then vagued out for the rest of the day until about 2ish. Note to self: you were sick Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday!
Had lunch with friends yesterday, which miraculously was a daycare day! How I forgot it was a DCD I have no idea! Also did some very quick shopping too, saw some gorgeous dresses. Have decided I need a new Awards dress, since I have worn the same one for the last five years! I still get compliments and stuff, and I love it, but yeah. Time for a new dress! Maybe one with less sparkles...
:D
I did some reading about the net today, learned what a Little Black Dress character is. What else did I learn... still doing more crochet than housework, which is surpringly productive. I sat in the sun and Jackie bundled about as small kids do, getting dirty and having a great time. He also seems to enjoy the NO TV thing going on at the moment. I'm weaning Vin off slowly... it's only just gone on today after he helped me do the dishes. Jack keeps saying 'No, No," when Vin was suggesting turning it on, which is pretty awesome I think!
J seems to be coming out of the dark spot he was in. He seems to have deeper moods than V, and be more entrenched in physical responses to frustration than V was (ie, he hits and punches, or even kicks when frustrated or doesn't like what you're saying.) We started a programme of hugs - whenever he said "no" and was being pouty, we glomped him with hugs. This plus my attempts to engage more and listen more seem to be working. :-)
The kids seem to get a kick out of my crochet jag. I bought a little french knitting kit that suggested it was good for kids, but neither of them were even remotely interested. I'm not exactly sure what else we can do with french knitting other than make cords. *shrug* Whatevs, dude, whatevs!
Writing is on hold for a day or two. Not sure why. We'll see how I feel at 7:15 tonight when J and I do a half hour min of project time and see if I do writing or more crochet. Despite no fiction output, I have however been blogging all over the internet. Ooo. Maybe we should wipe that off...
Thinking I'd like to have fire soon. Maybe a party with some mulled wine and soup and the first fire of the season. That would be kind of awesome.
