I've also been trying to inventory my stash. Ravelry has been awesome! They have some really fantastic tools to keep things organized. So I've written down everything I have in my stash and now I need to photograph the nicer yarns and get them posted on my page. I'm trying to keep track of my finished work and my WIP's, and what I have for needles, too. They have a spreadsheet that will allow me to do that! Also they have a great section for projects that I would like to try. I can keep them separate and when I'm ready move them to the WIP section. I highly recommend their site. You can find anything you need there and get just about any question answered on their forum.
LD has been wonderful lately. He's so affectionate and he's been learning to hug. He now gives everyone bear hugs! I love that kid! At the same time, he's been getting into absolutely everything. His favorite thing to piss off Mummy is opening and slamming closed his drawers. He also takes everything out of his PJ drawer, not any other one, just his PJ's.
I've been feeling a little less anxious lately. I don't know if it's just the calm before the storm or if I really do feel better. I was validated today by another mom. She's a lady from my MOPs group. We're having a ladies night tomorrow night and I'm really looking forward to it. She was telling me about being on several different medications for her anxiety and depression. She told me her breaking point was just after her fourth boy was born and she was helping her father take care of her dying mother. She was at the Dr's office crying and hysterical saying how overwhelmed she felt with it all. She told me there is nothing wrong with needing some medication to help me get through the day. She also recommended I see a therapist. She said she had a good one to help her learn some coping mechanisms. The therapist I saw was terrible. She already had a preconceived notion before I even walked through her door. I should have gone to see someone else but I have a hard time even admitting that I need help. All I know is I don't want to depend on medication for the rest of my life so I guess I'll have to just suck it up and find someone I can talk to.
We're heading off to see some friends on Saturday after LD wakes up from his nap. We're really looking forward to it! I've known him as long as I've known Hubby and he's such a great guy! His wife is wonderful, too, and I'm looking forward to getting to know her better. He's Hubby's oldest and closest friend - they've known each other for over 30 years! We've helped him through a lot in the last 14 years, a broken marriage, his kids, finding his second wife. He's spent many nights crashed on our couch! Anyway, they are very special to us and it's always fun when we can spend some time with them!
Off to spend some quality time with Hubby (and knit of course)!
Ciao and Happy Knitting!
