Help I'm Knitting!...SpiderMax...Get it together Beck!
This crazy craft should be called "self medicating with yarn"...it was theraputic...now its becoming sort of an obsession. I wonder if I don't have a touch of OCD...hmm.
Anyway, I went to JoAnns last night to pick up more yarn and decided to buy some knitting needles also... I love the look of knit...less bumpy and more organized that crochet. I youtube'd knitting basics and got started. I am a lefty by heart...but because I'm a weirdo... (God made me skill challenged by giving me the "ambidextrous" gift.) I have to try doing things (like Knitting and crochet), with both hands to see what feels right.
This is what I got done once I was able to figure out the basics...and get the "feel" of this craft. However its not turning out how I thought It would...PLEASE suggestions!
Other fun things to do with yarn include...making a "SpiderMax" web on your outdoor play set...I got tired of him climbing on furniture today so I gave him at load of yarn...bundled him up and kicked his hyper butt out the back door...of course he insisted that he wear his spidy jams over his clothes...what a goof!
I feel myself making this face more often than not recently. I had a rough morning with the kids today...and I had to see what my kids were seeing...not pretty...nope...not at all. (sigh) I just don't feel like a good mom these days...I am having such a hard time dealing with this funk that I am in... goodness, yesterday the first thing out of my mouth was... "I'm so tired, I don't feel like being a mom today...all I want to do is sleep." I am so desperate for ME time... that I stay up WAAAAY too late cramming as much alone time as I can before I'm called to snuggle someone...or breastfeed... so In addition to this seasonal depression I've exhausted myself trying to help myself feel better...does that make sense??? Andy yesterday, said "OMG, Becky put some eye drops in you're scaring me!"
What do you do to stay above water????
