Let's try this again

One more time....

I really like blogging.  I really do.  I'm just not very good at it. I'm not good at time management.  I think that's the problem.  Before I had a child, I had more time to do things like this.  Now, I'm lucky I can find time to shower.  I know many of you can relate.  But how to others do this?  

So, what exactly have I been up to?  First of all, I'm unemployed.  Not by choice.  And finding a job around here is near impossible.  It's getting to the point where I am going to have to start at the bottom and work my way up again.  And I'm starting to think I just might be a victim of age and mother discrimination.  But how do you prove it?

Second, Little Man is now 3.  3!  Can you believe it?  He's really into cars.  Any kind of cars. His favorite are mustangs, camaros, and corvettes.  He's a typical hellish pre-schooler.  Favorite word is NO; won't eat anything; stubborn.  Did I mention his use of the word NO?  

Let's see.  I'm still into birding, however, I am starting to forget my birds.  I really need to get out more and get back into the mode.  I noticed this when I thought that I had over 60 goldfinches in my yard.  Turns out I have over 80 pine siskins. I was so upset with myself over that.  I should have known what they were, but I'm out of touch with birding.

I'm crocheting a lot lately.  Almost too much.  I like it, but it's not my favorite craft. But I really started crocheting with Matthew.  It's easier to sit and crochet around him than to have him tangle up all my cross stitch supplies.  Plus he doesn't let me do this for long periods of time and crocheting is easier to stop and start.  But I prefer cross stitch.

I really wish I could figure out how to do this blog thing, along with the craft thing, for a living.  I would really like that.  

So, I'm going to try and do this at least once a week.  (Heard that before, haven't you?)  We'll see.  If I don't, I'll apologize now.

Until then, may your next bird be a lifer!
