Mom your ride: (along the lines of Monster house, but for a mom-mobile)

Great line I heard on "Rugrats" this morning:
Raise your kids, not your voice.

I got 8+ hrs of sleep last night. I'm bouncing off the walls and very chippy ... and sharing my "joy of life" with co-workers. (Some are not sharing in my pep and I've gotten a few startled looks. Right now I've locked myself in my office as a precautionary protective measure for co-worker sanity). I think I was like this a lot more before I had kids. I vaguely recall being more rested and more zippy. I feel great. This is usually the mood I'm in when I volunteer for SCA offices or BIG projects. (any of your recruiters can pipe down. Don't ask; even if I have a sanity failure, I now make a point of running everything past Hubby and Apprenti and they will say "NO".). Unfortunately, I got NOTHING done from my "to do" list last night.... I did other important things, like snuggling the kids at bed time and Nicholas read to me... it was freaking amazing. I fell asleep with both kids, all three of us tucked into his bed and talking about wolves and wolf-pack dynamic. How cool is that?

Tonight, I'm taking off to apprentice house to drape and scheme and sew. And.. lol... is she reading this? I wonder if she'll see this... I won't say. I have a rabbit up my sleeve. She mentioned wanting to learn something way-back-when and I may start that tonight too. .. heh. It will totally depend on her.

I've always wondered when you sleep. There always seem to be 3 of you, with the amount of stuff you get completed.
And terrifying coworkers with cheeriness is fun everyonce in a while.

Hey! It's you! (this is Meadhbh)

Hi there! I was wondering if that was you! No photos in your profile, so I wasn't sure.
I'm still new on LJ so I've not put all the new "names" with the names I know yet. Jeesh did that make sense?

[beanolc.livejournal.com]

Makes perfect sense. I generally keep pretty tight with my identity because of work, and the vast majority of my posts are locked.

And I'm still trying to figure out who some folks are! ;-)

She doesn't really sleep, Theia, she's just faking it so the kids will sleep ;-)

[beanolc.livejournal.com]

Yep, she's reading. Should I be worried now??

[theiadora.livejournal.com]

Na you will get to learn something new, and from her post something you wanted to learn... I'm interested on what it is, but I guess you'll find out tonight.

heh... you don't know my Laurel very well (and yes I'm aware she's reading this!). Who the hell knows what I said I wanted to learn... I'm quite certain that at one point I could easily have mentioned wanting to learn how to take apart a carburetor.

[theiadora.livejournal.com]

But learning how to take a carburetor was interesting. (Did that in High School). Granted it took MUCH longer getting the stupid thing back together and working.... HA HA
And your Laurel knows a bunch of interesting things. One of these days, I'll have more time to ask her more questions on some of it.

Apropos of nothing here....

I drifted over because a mutual friend suggested that we may have some resonant child-rearing experiences. Always happy to share :)
