Oh Boy.

The boys are pretending to be pirates and are cooking one of my dear Heavy Baby dolls in the grill. They are even seasoning her. Sigh. So much for all of my idealism of raising pacifist boys. I mean, they can be totally sweet and loving don't get me wrong. But there is the other side, that quite frankly, I never had as a little girl. They seek POWER in a physical way, that is for sure.

I'm working on my Motivation today. We have been hanging out alot, reading tons and listening to books on tape. I'm weaning the boys (again) off TV after a Christmas holiday of too much PIxar. But anyway, its been so pleasant that I have just gone with all the reading. Today I am cleaning.

I made Millet Coconut PUdding today and I thought it was good. The boys were very willing to try it, but quite quickly changed their tune and left their bowls full. So know I have a pot of fattening delicious pudding that only I will eat. Nice.

I have a lot of things I want to do. I've been reading too much and not doing. I want to finish my two first knitting projects - I knitted a little doll for Jack and am done knitting but now have to sew it and make the head. My potholder. I am going to felt it. AFTER those are complete, I am going to go to the yarn shop and buy yarn for a chunky scarf for Mark. My Stitch and Bitch book says it can be knitted up quickly in a few evenings. She doesn't know how long it took me to do a potholder.

I am going to do Yoga today - not Yoga Kids like we had been doing because our VCR broke but a DVD I've had stuffed in the closet for years.

I don't know what is for dinner tonight.

SO:

Clean the upstairs, finish up laundry.
Pull something out of the freezer for dinner
Yoga
Do a little violin "lesson" (which means playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on the CD, and clapping.
Do a LITTLE reading
Think about sewing up the doll.
