it's a brain dump

here's a quick bleeblooblah about the weekend that was long.
saturday we went to m-vill so that corey could help scooter move. i pulled boo boo around in the wagon at my parents house. later we had a bbq for my dad's bday.
sunday we walked around. it was weird because it didn't seem like sunday because it was sunny out and whatnot. we got some lunch at this new sammich place down in fremont. i got a regular veggie sammich and corey got a "farmer's market veggie sammich" which meant that it had beets and goat cheese (among other things) on it. corey's sammy RULED and my sammy totally droooled if you know what i mean. today it was more of the same walking around and stopping my the zoomazium and the park and stuff like that. i made corn and sammies for dinner and i'm sorta still hungry. this week is supposed to be warm.

i'm reading the secret garden right now. i remember reading it in 7th grade but it seemed boring then. plus we watched the movie afterward which always makes you not really want to read the book. anyway, it is really really good and i recommend re-reading it if you haven't already read it more then once. or something. another really good book i just read for the first time was the giver by lois lowry. i really liked it except for the ending which was kind of sad .

ooh, another book i used to read a lot was sugar isn't everything by willow davis roberts. i feel like i've linked to that book before. who knows. i should find that at the liberry and put it on my list to read.

something smells like ketchup which i should go investigate and then i should go to bed.

new things on etsy!

i added some things to my etsy shop.

i plan on adding so more over the next few days. all house chores have taken a backseat for the moment. i am finding little bits of time here and there to sew. some things i had in my pile of not quite finished stuff and i am going through it to finish it up.
yea!!

mum mum day was yesterday.

baby esmond is napping on my lap. it is getting harder and harder to find time to "blog" anything worthwhile anymore. (uh, was it ever worthwhile???) but whatever. i take pictures of buster brown all day long and it's hard to get those on flickr too. i read a lot of blogs about nice ladies that have lots of kids...like 3 or more sometimes and i don't even know what to think sometimes. how do they find time? how does anyone one with a small child have time to do anything??? maybe it gets easier. maybe they don't watch the price is right everyday ( i do!!)

i guess maybe my priorities have changed a little bit? maybe not. i would love to sew clothes for the boy, for myself, for the cat and make things for etsy while also making money. but i would rather try to exercise or go to the park with boo boo and by then time we get home it's time to cook dinner then it's time for a bath and then it's almost bedtime.

yesterday was my first mothers day. i have been a mom for less then a year but it is really weird to think about how much esmond has grown from a tiny bebe to a walking, grunting little person! a lot of things changed when i became a mom and it's been REALLY hard sometimes. i feel like there are so many things that other mom's don't tell each other about what to expect when becoming a mom, but at the same time you kind of have to experience it on your own to really know how it is. but still, once you become a mom you are a completely different person from the one you used to be. i see it as the one thing that makes you grow up from being a child to becoming an adult. i know maybe you paid bills before and work at a job or whatever. but it's not the same. i'm not sure if other people feel the same way as i do.

okay. anyway. i keep seeing this girl around fremont who used to live by me when i was little. i think she recognizes me to. it's weird. if i see her again i will talk to her . maybe..probably.

sighhhhhhhhhhh...
