On the bright side
Things are better in the house. ED has come out of her funk and is participating in life again. She's taking responsibility for her kids and cleaning up after herself. She even went to the grocery store last night. Because she was going, I paid for the groceries and let her buy the non-food items. In turn, yesterday, I did her and the boys laundry.

She quit the job training she was doing for another call center job with higher pay. She also ran into an old manager from her Jack In The Box days, who suggested she come back as an assistant manager. She's going to look into that, too.

I'm toying with the idea of going back to school. Scheduling is a nightmare, though, and YD would have to watch the GSs. ED has the paperwork for DES certification for childcare assistance, but hasn't turned it in yet. If she gets certified, either I or YD can become certified caregivers and get paid by the state to watch the kids.

I didn't get much done yesterday in the house as I was running errands in the morning, and harvesting my Kombucha Tea. I did layout a quilt for a preemie (charity work) and started hand quilting that. It's a print fabric with a plain backing and no batting. Those preemies need very light weight stuff, and often times they are just draped over the isolettes to block out the harsh 24/7 light in the NICU. It'll keep me busy with yet another hand sewing project while watching TV. I get tired of one and have to change them out frequently.

Watched Fahrenheit 9/11 last night. :::Sigh:::

Here's a pic of a faux crazy quilt top I pieced in December. I started out with 8 inch squares and ended up with 6 1/2 inch squares. Squares are divided into stacks and then cut and sewn together again and then cut and sewn together again. Kinda neat, I think.
