we've got a napper. the kid sleeps so well it's almost scary. 12-14 hours a night, plus 1-2 naps totalling about 3 hours. so, most days i do get an hour or two to myself, of a sort. most days that means cleaning (the house and myself) while i have a bit of time (and i'm frequently working my butt off doing that, just not today), but it also means quiet endeavors. i alternate between taking care of the outside world and the inside world. i have no idea where the last two hours went today, but there are a couple new pics on flickr, and the batting is between fabric for the baby quilt. now i just have to learn what the heck i'm doing. seriously.

a couple of days ago i finally put together the mobile parts that i made on a whim about a year ago. munkeebaby loves it. awesome.

i still have two pregnant girlfriends, so there is plenty of baby stuff still to go, and i'm behind on knitting for other babies previously born... so, again, plenty of crafty backlog. however, the reality is, i start back to doing some for-real work in the next few days-ish. and since knitting doesn't pay as well as UI design. well, it's halfway back to the mothership. i sort of need to slap myself, but the reality is, this isn't the time to take up something new. doing what i've done before is completely perfect. i can work part time, it pays well, blah blah. mostly i'm concerned about this darned mommy-brain. i have to re-solder the connections.

it's a beautiful day, and we're nearing the 2.5 hour mark on the nap. so, there won't be a second one, but i should probably take a shower now, while i have a chance. i love days where i have time to think three thoughts in a row.
