To Do List (they keep me sane)

During my week I think about a half dozen times "I should blog this." Now that I'm sitting at my computer with blogger open I can't think of what to say! Hmmm.....

Eden has her "first" viral infection. She has been fussy for about a week and we thought she was teething, but at a doctor's visit today it was discovered that she has a very angry sore throat. Fortunately, all the Tylenol we were giving her for sore teeth is the same treatment for this ailment. Hopefully she'll get to feeling better soon and we can all go back to sleeping through the night!

I've been super creative lately- meaning normal mommy tasks like cleaning house, cooking, and doing laundry have fallen to the wayside. Luckily Thomas has been home to help pick up the slack- he's such a sweet husband. He even hung some of my paintings up at Java Jacks :). There are several empty spots on the walls at our house now. Maybe I should paint more? Over the last couple of weeks I've finished a mock painting for a large scale mural, almost completed a large painting (just copy work) for a gift, baked an applie pie to celebrate the first day of fall (this will become a tradition in our family), baked scones THREE times, completed an album for my sister, and sewn pajamas. That doesn't sound like a lot now that I've written it out- but there was a very silly, fantastic, REFRESHING girl's weekend in the mix.

My to do list for creative projects is quite heavy at the moment:
-sew skirt
-paint mural
-finish large painting
-correct album
-start big girl quilt for Eden
and drum roll....da.dad.a.da.da.da.da...
-start new painting, a serious one (whatever that means, haha)

Oh, and remembering to cook and feed my family :).
