I happen to have...oh...about...well... 2 or 8 tote bins full of fabric. Really, I do. It's an addiction really. But a FUN one.
Since I love my fabric so much, and often have cutting anxiety, I often choose to showcase it instead of harming it:
Easy peasy decor.
Besides, I can change it out anytime I want and haven't invested a huge amount of money.
I thought this little shelf area would be a great place to herald the arrival of spring...so WHERE IS IT?
Hello!? Spring? Where ARE you? Did you get lost? I bet you used the wrong Mapquest directions when I already told you they were wrong, didn't you?
*sigh*

We had Lil Chick baptized last Sunday. It was a special tender moment in our little family.
My special life moments and events seem to be extra sharp and slowed down while they are occurring. On Sunday when she was getting sprinkled I remember thinking, "remember how you are feeling, what you are seeing, don't blink too fast or you'll miss something!"
What I DO remember...
We walked up to the front, Lance holding Lil Chick, me with a death grip on Bubbalu's hand, both of us praying he behaved. Bubbalu was (and STILL IS) sick and had recently taken to blowing his nose into his HANDS. Why, why, why, WHY would one do this? I have no idea. Extra moisturizing perhaps? After he does this he stares in wonderment at his hands probably curious as to why gobs of snot have now taken up residence on his hands.
Anywho, I was fully expecting him to blow his nose in his hands at the moment Pastor Pete baptized poor looked over Lil Chick. Not so.
What he DID whisper to me right after we walked all the way up?
"This is nice, Mommy."
Yes, Bubba, this IS nice.

You know it's a bad one...
-when you can smell her aroma from more than 4 feet away. For example, when driving and can smell her in the backseat. Not like that has ever happened to me before...as in today.
-when she screams the, "I have acid poo on my behind!" cry.
-when you can feel the wetness penetrating her 3 layers of clothing...to her shoulders.
-when you wish you could gown and glove up for the diaper changing procedure.
-when you lay down a protective layer FOR your diaper changing pad.
-when you don't dare wash any of your other clothes with the affected garments.
-when you wish you could do a surgical scrub AFTER the diaper changing procedure.
-when it is so memorable you can write an entire blog post about it.
