Skip


Don't you wish there were some days you could just skip past? Today was one of those days for me. I woke up this morning and found my body had remembered how much it loves throwing up. I thought we had moved beyond that. But I spent a considerable part of my day sipping ginger ale only to puke it back up. I still got some work done but felt very alone and sick and frustrated. Thanks to a variety of world events, the Russia-Georgia conflict, Musharraf resigning etc Aaron is at work past eleven with no end in sight (he he he). So I decided to indulge and I let myself watch the Newshour twice and the Antiques Road Show. And I sent in a little project that has this fairy. I think she turned out alright so I'm trying to remind myself the day wasn't a total loss.

I like her little pink toes. Sorry it was a crummy day body-wise. We all have those. Too bad we can't skip them but we can take some time to put the other demands on hold now and then. Hang in there.

I love the fairy! I'm impressed at how much you accomplished while feeling so sick. With Sawyer I had horrible morning (actually, all day) sickness right up through the 5 month mark. I HATED being pregnant because I felt so horrible. Loved the birth process and breastfeeding, love being a mom, but pregnancy? I'd love to just skip to the end.
