Next weekend is Thea's birthday. My baby girl is going to be 3. It's so hard to believe that she is about to be a preschooler! Every year at every child's birthday I decide that I'm going to do something really special, but unfortunately, it doesn't really happen. Take for instance Thea's birthday. She has asked for a play kitchen. Thea doesn't say too many things, but she has made it clear that she would like a kitchen and we're planning on getting her one. My idea was to make her an apron and hot pads and possibly some felt food to go along with it. Unfortunately, I'm almost positive it won't get done. With homeschooling 5 and only 1 that naps regularly I find myself with very little time for anything other than children. But what better use of my time than to be training them? However, I would by lying if I didn't admit that I really would like to sew more. Dan and I try and spend time together every night after the kids go to bed, and so I no longer have time to sew in the evenings. Fine...I'd rather spend time with my husband anyway. So I tell myself that it's more important to make my husband a priority and spend the time to raise my children well, but I still feel terrible that Thea won't have her apron from her mama. Oh well...she'd rather have time with mama than an apron I'm sure. One day I will have all the time in the world to sew and my babies will be grown. And I will miss these days so much.
And who knows...maybe some time will magically appear and i'll be able to make my girl an apron.
