Now Playing: 'The Chipmunk Adventure' - Dearest's choice
Current Mood : tired of Spring allergies and wheezing
So, what did I do while Dearest Son enjoyed his first day of Summer School ? did I sew or create or even tidy up the Lab or clean house ?
Nope. Sat on my big butt and dug through a big box of mid-70s to late 80s National Doll World magazines I got off eBay. Ate cheese balls by the handful, and drank three Dr. Pepper sodas. Fell asleep twice, moderated three kitten free-for-all fights. Sometimes I really disappoint myself - but once I realize that it was a fun day after all, it fades a bit !
Dearest really did like school. He got to see three of his old friends from his previous school, and one from his current class, so he's happy. I just need to use the solo time better ! At least I got the lace off that yard-sale blouse while waiting for the afternoon bus. Every year, they tell me Dearest will be home by, say a quarter after. Also every year, he's not normally home until half-past, or even a quarter till ! At least the wait doesn't seem so long when I have something to do.
Not really much going on, truthfully. Very few of the doll magazines have had patterns I want to scan - I figured, with a box this huge, I'd be scanning for most of the summer ! Hmm. Maybe my pattern obsession is fading because I haven't sewn many of what I already have...
