Hi, all. Been a long time. I would say TOO long! Ive missed you all terribly. I made the sudden descision to move closer to my family and get a hand with things. Since moving I have enrolled in school and finished my high school education.Also I will be starting college in the fall.

What I am

Well....This is really more for me to get things off my chest but I welcome advice for sure.
I am at a point in my adult life where I feel like a total failure.Like I am so off track I cant possibly get back on.My house is toxic again.No really worse than ever.I cant see the floor in most places.Not one bed in my house has sheets on it.The dishes are backed up.My slow cooker is growing a wierd fuzz.The laundry,well the only good thing I can say is we all have at least two changes of clean clothes and clean towels but thats all good I can say about that.Im using the rest of the laundry to hide the dirty floors.My son has missed a ton of school for various family reasons and the school is not understanding at all.To top it all off hes been out the past two days as well beccause my infant of 5 months wont sleep at night.I try desperatly to get up but when I fall asleep at 4 or 5 am exuahsted there is no way Ill hear the alarm at 6 am to put him on the bus.Im not too awful worried about it as his teacher already wants to fail him for it even tho he is only very slightly behind his peers.Mostly thats in behavioral departments.Hes a talker and a wiggler and of course his teacher always points out he is the class clown.He screams at the very mention of going to school demands he hates his teacher for she yells at him all the time.

GRRRR

I dont like this article this persons opion sucks.that is my opion also that they should read why homeschool works for large familes among other issues that contribute to the social problems in society...maybe those tax dollars.... that are still being wasted on floor wax and other oh so nescessary things for the rich suits pushing the buttons much need to help them decide what is best to feed our kids and teach them and how to invoke fear in us ,not let us for a moment trust our instinct to do what we were genetically created to do...could be put to better uses id say.It would be a better way to gather funds than taking away taxes from families.Or perhaps we could re evaluate the money wasted on say military actions.why not just skip yhe b/s and impose population control and steralize a few million ppl.thats where we are headed with voters like this Barf!

while I wait

I have so little patients.I always wanna open Christmas gifts early and other lil things like that.Pregnancy is hard to the impatient soul beccause there is no way to speed things along.It will happen in its own due time.I outright refuse to be induced this time as in previous pregnancys,for some obs weekend plans.I will go into labor on my own.(I would consider it only if I were very overdue)I am considering home birth with this child.In this state if I homebirth I cannot have a midwife.I live less than two mins in my car from the hospital so that makes it more of an option for me.I have researched the technical sides of homebirth as well as the emotional ones.As my time draws nearer I am more and more swayed in the direction of this.In previous pregnancies I didnt want to wait to have the baby beccause I wanted it just to be over.I hated all my experiences with the hospital from lying on my back to being cut just beccause it was my first baby.The others were bigger and I didnt tear even a little beccause I learned about preparing my perinum to stretch.The idea of no doctor at the birth strikes alot of people the wrong way but for some reason deep down in my gut I trust my body to do what it was made to do.I feel calmer when I think of having the baby here in my own bed,my own way.It makes me feel able to wait until the baby is ready to come and not to sit around hoping the doctor will induce at the next visit.I dont talk about this very openly beccause I simply dont want to deal with the strong often cruel opposition I get but I wanted to let these feelings off my chest.I have a vison of giving birth to my child without i.v.s and drugs and not so kind nurses and doctors.I dont want my baby taken from me moments after birth to be cleaned measured and weighed.I want my baby to be born and then to be in my arms close to me where it belongs.I dont want to remeber it as some medical procedure I want it to be beautiful.My mind is torn between the conventional teachings and instinct.

So I wanna make a baby sling

Jennmommy5's picture

I want to sew my own baby sling.I looked at several Ideas on several websites like the myan(SP?) style and some others.I want to make one thats very safe.I noticed some had rings others were a solid piece.Also I read that its more difficult to make from fleece but I would still like to make one of these.I noticed some are padded and some arent.I have zero experience with slings but I had a baby carrier and I didnt like it at all it was complicated and uncomfortable even though it was an expensive model.Any advice from others who have slings/have made thier own would be appreciated.

Everyone is doing it nowadays
