Mix up in departures!

And today... Shaughnessy starts yelling. You all just knew it would be a Shaughny story right? She stood up on a kitchen chair, leaned her knee against the back railings, pop! her knee slips through and is stuck fast. I came running downstairs to find himself trying to wiggle her knee back through. Honestly when I first cleared the babygate I thought he was checking her knee for damages and from the way she was yelling, figured we were on our way to Emerg. But nope, just stuck. So I stick my hand in the butter and slather up her knee while Shaughny is yelling, "Whats that supposed to do??" Then I gave a bit of a push slide to her leg and TADA freedom! Honestly. My kid is out to turn my hair (more) gray!Within 2 weeks she has give herself a fat lip running into the stationary gate we pass every single day and got a nice bump on her nose from running to the window crank into the church nursery. Now this. I'm telling ya, there was some mix up in departure, I got my sister's kid!

Shake it!

I survived my bellydance performance. Funny enough my brain could not remember what move to do next but luckily the rest of my was on autopilot and did what it was supposed to do. I looked pretty decent too I think. Plus it was early early in the program so I then got to sit down, watch and enjoy myself. The dancers were wonderful, the young girls too cute. My friend Lee has been living alone far too long as she was drooling over the one male bellydancer. I admit, watching him dance is a wonderful thing. Lee however had more horizontal persuits in mind.

There's a mom to mom sale coming up. I managed to get a table. And paid to bring my rack with me. I figured I had a boatload of stuff. Well, I don't. I have 2 boatloads of stuff. Big huge luxury cruiseships. To that end I have secured another table. We're selling the bassinette...and most likely the hop-n-pop thing. Evil thing giggling all the time. I won't miss it. Also, free space in the basement! Woot!

Was told by organizer to bring my baby blankets. Had planned to do so anyway but now won't feel sneaky about it. Also was told asian clothes sell well and as we all know (or at least I do) I have loads of that stuff too due to my obsession with collecting clothes from different countries. I would of course like to keep them all but really...we're out of space.

Tomorrow. Living history museum. Hope it doesn't rain. Have mended 1860's dress and shrunk it a bit. Still a tad long but just don't feel like worrying about it now.

Shhhh....Be vewy vewy quiet.....

Both girls are asleep. This is a rare and wonderful thing. I should be cleaning my kitchen during the lull but please! Computer or kitchen? No contest. I have another order for a blanket and its made already. Baby polar bears playing hockey, sporting Toronto Maple Leaf jerseys. Works well up here in the Great White North.

I got a wild hair (along with the usual handful) and began painting celtic stencils on the post in the hallway. I do think painting random things keeps me partially sane. Since I actually have no artistic talent I paint walls and stencil stuff. Oh well, someone, someday will buy this house after going WTF? at all the random painting.

I think I want a coffee.
