Weekend Fun
So, I was perusing articles on the web earlier this evening and came across THIS article which is a list of the things modern moms do. I don't normally comment on articles that disguise themselves as blogs (but often comment on blogs). This time I just had too. After reading the article, I wrote something along the lines of, "Moms for centuries have been living under the pressure to live up to someone else's standards for how to be a cool mom so the modern mom would take this list and recycle the paper it came on and go do her own thing." Take that people who try to tell us what we are supposed to do!
Well, now that that is off my chest. Miss Wiggles and I went to the SPCA today. It was not however to get an animal. Our SPCA has a petting zoo in it. I'm not sure what it is about animals (I cried watching Babe) but Miss Wiggle's first time seeing chickens, goats, llamas and even a kangaroo got me all choked up. The moment was saved from my sappy over load when Miss Wiggles got excited to see all the "doggies". Yeah, seriously cute. We worked on saying goat. And now we can count goat (sounded out almost as two words go-ts) as the latest word to the lexicon. She is very proud. We did leave the animals earlier than expected because there were three pregnant pygmy goats seriously embracing their hormonal pregnant chick status and locking horns a wee bit aggressively for my pygmy goat sized toddler.
Where was Daddy on this beautiful Saturday? Dan was in the garage (his man cave) building jewelry display cases for me. Give that man some props ya'll! No store bought displays boxes for me. He went to a jewelry designer expo with me for our anniversary (again, he is awesome) and did his own research checking out every ones displays. We spent the morning together of course watching The Old Yankee Workshop but skipped the rerun of This Old House. I think we've seen this house done twice already. Cool mantle though.
As for the Poquoson Seafood Festival, or PSf, it is only four weeks away! This is an opportunity to really put to test my faith that God is already in my tomorrows, that I am eternity focused and regardless of what happens, God will be glorified and I will still be His daughter. That is a work in progress since I've woken up for the last three nights soaked, agitated and restless. Weird dreams. I have this whole fear of failure and a fear of letting down those I care about which usually leads to me quitting early and letting everyone down. Sick I know. So this jewelry thing is my sky diving, my facing the fears head on. I've worked like a mad dog staying up late every night getting ready. I feel like I need more jewelry but I can't predict this since its my first time at this particular festival. So I just make and make until the day comes and that is it. I even did up a head band and made this insanely awesome pearl pendant today. Had I come up with this pendant earlier, I so would have made more. Spring Collection 2011 baby!
