Feeling all over the place

I don't know why, but I just feel like I'm all over the place with no real direction. I don't know if it's because I'm not working or what. I mean I've been working since I was around 18 years old. So maybe, just maybe, that's it. I also find it hard because Grace is not on a firm schedule yet. Her naps are still here and there, not at the same time every day and for the same length of time. I want to get so much done during the day but I end up not having done half the stuff I wanted to get done.
I am working on so many things at the same time, so Im sure that doesn't help.
I'm trying to set up a cleaning schedule to tackle during each day of the week, as well as do some menu planning. Then I also want to work on our budget.
Then there's the crafts/sewing I want to do. Can't forget finishing up Grace's room. And then there's the pictures and scrapbooking that I have to get cracking on.
Baby steps...I have to remember, baby steps. Now it makes sense why I'm feeling lost LOL.
Princess G has almost turned over from her back to her belly!! She's enjoying tummy time a little more these days but still has far to go when it comes to turning from belly to back.
She'll get there when she gets there though!!
Evreyone seems to be doing better here, even Liam!! Fingers crossed that it stays that way :)

A little bit of everything

With the weather becoming more like spring, I'm getting the bug to do so much!!
Princess had a flu bug, we think. She was a pooping machine 1/2 of Sat, Sunday and 1/2 of Monday. We'll see what today brings. I think she caught this when I went to my MIL's sister's place. There were sick people there. Even though I wasn't going to go because of said sick people, I was assured they would not be there. But of course, they were. I'm still pissed about it. I went against my better judgement to please other people. Let me tell you, that's the end of that. I know that people judge me because I"m sure they think that I'm too protective or overbearing, but you know what...tough!! I'm the mommy. Ok - enough about that.
I'm still sewing. I made a bib that took like less than an hour. It looks great!! I just need some NICE material. There are 2 places to buy material where I live - 1 is Wallymart and the other a sewing store. Neither one has nice material that is "in style". It's kind of old granny-ish, which makes sense since there are a lot of quilters of a certain age bracket where i live. I'm going to have to go for a drive really soon to either MTL or OTT. I need some nice material. I think Denis is actually impressed with what I have done so far. Maybe when I've done a few more things, I will take some pictures.
Oh and speaking of pictures, I am sending them out today! So look for one in the mail real soon!! I still haven't scanned any of the pics in yet - but I will harass Denis to do it.
One last thing - I'm going to be trying a new slow cooker recipe this week. It's actually from Martha Stewart's Every day Food magazine. It's called Indian braised chicken. If it's tasty, I will post it.
That's about it for now :)

Would love to be a SAHM

Everything is fine with princess G. She is doing well. We had her weighed and measured yesterday at the Early Years Centre (EYC) and she is 14lbs 11oz (95th percentile - poor thing has my genetics) and 24" long (75th percentile). I ended up sitting and chatting for a bit at the EYC with adults. It was nice. There were other moms there, but they left as we were coming in. It's a really neat place and I think it will be wonderful once she's able to sit up on her own and play a bit more.
I'm getting used to not working. Really used to it. I didn't think that I would be able to relax and enjoy it since I've been working since I was 17 without more than a 2 week holiday but no trouble here!! I'm actually trying to think of ways on how we can work it out for me to stay home. We have been talking about it seriously. So many things to consider though. I think we are going to try and sit with a financial counselor to figure out how we can help ourselves and benefits that may be available.
I'm trying to think of ways to make a little extra $$ - part time job or odd jobs here and there. Maybe even babysitting (daycare) but only 1 or 2 other kiddies. I'm concentrating on my sewing right now. So far I've made a reversible flannel blanket for Grace with an Elmo print. Too cute!!
But if I can get better, then maybe do some sewing work. And of course, I should really get back into my catering. I used to do pretty well with it. I stopped because most of my jobs were about 90 mins from my place, so I would end up spending more on gas. But I will try to promote myself around here. I have her baptism at the end of April, so that will be my testing ground to see if I still have "it".
I think that being a SAHM is something that I will be working towards. I guess being a child from a SAHM home, I loved it and want to give that to my children.

Yet another project I would like to tackle

I've decided that I want to sew. DH and I took a course in 2006 but the teacher wasn't very good and I walked away not knowing much at all. I have my Mom's sewing machine and we had it tuned up, so it is ready to go. But since the course, I haven't really found the time.
I really like the idea of making clothes for my DD, in the colour and style that I want. Not having to settle for what's out there on the rack.
It's time to blow the dust off the machine and get cracking!!
When I do make something somewhat presentable, I will definitely take a picture and post it.
It won't be anytime soon though LOL.
