stockings and other crafty things

I had a rather good day. I have put my mind on hold because my babe has been sick. I am so glad that I can do this or I would break down. I can't handle sickness most of all- especially fevers. Yesterday I got him some antibiotics. So now I am in this "for now" mindspace. No processing allowed.
I went to Aiden's preschool Christmas party with the kids this morning. It was great. It allowed me to feed all the kids at once and without preparing anything. Great. Juice boxes included.
After that I got my brother and sister in law's baby/ Christmas present mailed off. Relief. Nice.
Then I went home and put the sick kid and the just a runny nose girl to bed. I immediately went downstairs to do some sewing. I got tons done. I was amazed. Both kids slept long and were still sleeping when I finished as much as I had wanted to get done. Crazy. Oh, and boy number one was downstairs with me playing on the computer.
After that we went upstairs and I actually fell asleep on the couch for a minute or two while we watched cartoons....or rather Aiden watched cartoons- other kids still sleeping! Ah.
Keiran woke up and I went to check on Gem who said, "pooping now"...I ran her to the bathroom and left her there. I am not really potting training as I am too tired all the time and it is exhausting in itself, but she is going randomly. If I can get her to poop consistently on the potty I will go full force. And she did today. Success.
After snacks and diaper changes I thought about running to the store or getting a pizza for dinner and realized that I had money left in my wallet. I didn't even have to leave the house. Smile. I never have money in my wallet. Pizza ordered. No cooking or stressing over dinner. Hee hee.
After the kids were in bed I willed myself to go downstairs again and finish some stockings which I wanted to be homemade. It was fun and fast. Another check off the list.....although I realized that I forgot about myself and Garry. Which means I have to go back to Katja's fabric shop. Darn (add sarcastic wink here). Sigh. And there is my night. Checkmate.
