One of Those Days

I am going to warn you, this is one of those honest posts. I thought you should know. You know I have been working like crazy and I had the bright idea I would put my size 10 jeans on this morning. I put them on my legs and I could pull them up and I was getting pretty excited, but then when I got them up to my tummy, they were a little snug  okay, I couldn't take a deep breath tight.  I had the bright idea that if I just laid on the bed for a second I could zip them. I flopped down on my bed and as I lay there the thought crossed my mind. " I am sick and tired of trying to get into tight jeans, I have been doing this for 45 years." When Emilie comes in my room and says, " Mom, are you all right?" I said, " Yes, Em, I was just trying to decide If I wanted to go to all of this trouble to zip these pants. " She said, Oh good, the way you flopped down on the bed I thought you died."  I had no idea she was behind me when I did that. So I changed and put on baggy pants.

 I needed to go to the grocery store today and my son Elliot, wanted to go with me. We were having this conversation as we walked into the store. I went to get a basket and I was still talking to him. I asked him a question and no answer. I turned to look and there was a young couple standing behind me with a bemused look on their faces. I looked around and no Elliot. I said, " Uh sorry, I thought my son was here." I took my basket and went in the store and he was standing over in the flower department looking at flowers. I said,
" Why did you just leave, that young man and woman think I am some kind of nut job." He said " sorry I thought you were finished."
We proceeded to walk to the aisle and wouldn't you know it on every aisle guess who would almost run into the young couple or Elliot would have wandered off and there I am talking to myself again. I finally told him to stop wandering off and leaving me on the aisle by myself. I was really ready to get in the car and come home. I don't know if my to do list is longer than I have brain power but I am really beginning to slip.

I have some photos of the new rug patterns that my daughter drew out and the picture of the new rug I dyed wool for this weekend.
The first two rugs of course are my favorite.

 I know that isn't very dark. Here is the next one.

Then the one I dyed the wool for which I think will be pretty but I really want to hook these chickens. 

Well I will stop now. It is time to cook dinner.

I hope your Monday was a normal one.
Thank you so much for stopping by,
