turkeys et cetera
I tend to get a little depressed when we come to stay with my mom, mostly because she lives in the coolest place [a mountain top] and under pretty cool conditions [wood burning heat, rain water harvesting, sheep herding]. But when I'm here, it always seems like I have a baby to chase, so I miss out on the fun stuff (wood chopping, sheep feeding, hiking). I end up inside the cabin most of the time, making sure the baby doesn't burn himself on the woodstove, trying to entertain the kids, etc. I can't even really read or write. So I fall into a strange listless depression that involves eating and inertia.
I was able to write a little at the laundromat yesterday; I'm working up a proposal to do a time-space study of moms who blog, and things are coming along. I'd like to be able to offer participants, who will be required to do a good bit of writing, some sort of remuneration, so I need to do some looking around for funding.
I was also going to get a Flickr account up, but I am stuck using my mom's mini-vaio ( this thing is soooo itty-bitty) and her dial-up; so I'll just wait to post pics until after we get home.
My sis Fran is coming up today. At 30 weeks preg, she should be a wonder to behold. I can't wait to see her!!

It's just the weather. If it was sunny and clear it would be awesome even WITH the children. 'Course for my part, it's a total blast even with the rain. If it was nice, they'd be outside the whole time while I'm in the kitchen! I love that you're here.

The time-space study seems cool!
