Quilting

I've been looking at these two websites this weekend. www.diaryofaquilter.com and www.freemotionproject.com

I must admit, I'm kind of fascinated. Now, I've done my fair share of sewing-related projects... Patchwork quilt, scripture case, purse, jean quilt with flannel backing, notecards (yes, I have sewed paper), hemming children's clothing, patching holes in children's clothing... But I was looking at these quilts with different filler patterns and I'm getting a quilting bug.

But here's my dilemma... Where the heck will I find the time? I work 8am-5pm, Monday through Friday. I come home and devote my entire evening to kid-related activities. The weekends are slam packed with... relaxing from the week. Hahahaha... Gotcha there, right? I'm seriously so drained I barely want to get up to cook. (But I force myself since I love food and want good stuff since I "technically" have time to do so.) I just have to suck it up prioritize my "wants" in my life, I guess. Do I want to make a quilt? Or do I want to relax? Do I want to veg and continue to gain even more weight? (Don't worry, we'll get to that subject soon...) Or do I want to get off my butt and do something productive with my time?

Too many decisions... I think I need a nap....

Back? Maybe....

I need an outlet. Not a baby picture, funny kid-saying sort of outlet. I need a mommy complaining, husband is tired of listening, working too much for friends time, kids are too young to hear my ramblings kind of outlet....

I don't complain too much. Really. But I do get tired of things and I have no where to discuss them.

But wait. I don't really want to discuss... I just want my opinion heard, validated and agreed with... I'm thinking the world wide web isn't the best place... But if my feelings get too hurt, I'll just quit, right after I cry.

Cry. Quit.

Sounds like a plan. :)

(Oh. And if I do throw in a few funny kid sayings, that's my choice.... cuz it's my blog. And you can be erased. :)
