we're going to be chilling out in the mommyhood today. the hubs finished his last exam yesterday and we are all riding off the high of major stress this week. we're dropping mack off at school and spending the day together. our first day with no looming school stress. it feels great but also weird at the same time. i hope it's the first day of many days now where our little family can just....be.
can you feel me breathing again...phew. holding my breath for 3 days was hard. it's hard watching someone you love deal with all that stress/pressure and feeling helpless in the fact that you can't take the burden off of them. we survived though and i have to admit....i may have had a stiff drink in there somewhere...lol. thank you for all your kind words and emails during the last few weeks - you guys rock!
our weekend is going to be filled with more breathing...haha. i'm also working on some upcoming patterns, a secret project with one of my besties and some knitting. my knitting has been sadly neglected. i'm also going to keep hugging the heck out of my hubs and kids and just being thankful that we made it this far.
wishing you all a relaxing, stress free, breathing filled, knitting/sewing & coffee goodness kind of weekend.
what are your plans this weekend? are any of you dealing with a big family deadline that you've now made it through? are you working on any fun projects? let's chat m'dears. fill me in on your week! i've missed you guys.
p.s. the winner of the petite kids pattern giveaway will be announced next week.
p.p.s. watch on monday for my new fat quarter gang project for art gallery fabrics!
I think you could say we're working on a big family deadline - our first baby is due 12.8.12. This weekend we have work to do on the nursery (yay!). Lots of fun projects are happening as well including a sweater for the little nugget.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend and hopefully you can finish those sleeves soon!!
finally!! i hope you all have a wonderful weekend together. im sure the hubby wants it just as much as you do. we will be doing the usual...canning, baking and taking care of this crazy garden of ours. plus im hoping to finish washing all of these windows. funny how a clean house can make so happy. so ya, not that exciting of a weekend around here. oh and i guess i better find some time to sew and sleep...im doing this crazy sewing competition that has really been cutting into my sleep:) how amazing were all of those looks?! glad im not a judge:) enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy to hear that your husband has finished his last exam and your family has a relaxing weekend coming up! I'm excited to be going to a full day quilting retreat with my guild tomorrow. 13 hours of quilting and I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news! I'm so glad you guys can finally relax together without any major worries. Knit lots!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a lovely weekend. We're just getting over the stress of everyone starting school (four kids in four schools is exhausting), so this weekend of no big plans is delicious. I almost don't know what to do with myself. Knitting is definitely in the cards though.
ReplyDeleteOh Shannon.....
ReplyDeleteToday I was feeling super UBER grumpy and then I read your blog and I feel so much better! You have given me happy warm fuzzy inspired feelings of awesome..
Just wanted to say thanks
Yay! Enjoy your family time. It's so nice reaching the end of a long tunnel like that.
ReplyDeleteMy project is to figure out what I've done to the tension on my machine so I can finish violet's wolf suit before she kills me. Lol. I feel like I should be making some outfits for when we take our kids to the national zoo soon too. Giraffe print sweetheart dresses? Haha. Hoodies with ears and tails?
