Why am I awake?

Yea, I'm up in the middle of the night again. First I just woke up, then I realized I was hot, then I noticed my bladder was full, my stomach started growling and baby started kicking...so I ate a snack and finished making my menu/grocery list for the next week.

I'm glad everyone liked my video. I have since made another one, however it takes a good while to upload them, so I'm not sure exactly when I'll get Tuesday's up, but it'll get there :) In the meantime I'll post my menu, just in case I lose my paper and for anyone who needs some help with their menus, like me!

Breakfasts:

melon balls, yogurt with granola
bagels with homemade herb cream cheese, fruit
oatmeal, fried eggs and kefir

I've had some video requests, one to do a tour of my house, which I plan to do once I get caught up on housecleaning. This week has been weird with having Leiah home now and I've been feeling very tired (hmm, wonder why?). So, after I get the baskets of laundry done, the floors cleaned up and my groceries bought and stored, I may try to do it.

Also I was asked to do a sewing video. I certainly plan on doing that one, especially since I need to get cracking on my baby quilt! When I do, I'll be making two dresses at the same time, and show how that's possible. I'm not going to go over the basics of sewing, but I will show how to lay out pattern pieces on fabric and how to construct the dress, put in sleeves, gather the skirt, put in a zipper etc.

Ok, maybe I can nap a little before morning is upon us...

I look forward to your next video! Why do I enjoy those so much? What is it that makes us enjoy watching people doing their everyday, ordinary things? Well, I guess there just encouraging me to keep on keeping on.

Hope you got some sleep and rest!

You know I wondered the same thing. I guess we're just naturally nosy :P Even my husband was glued to my video, and I was like, you see me do this stuff all the time! It's funny because I don't think I'm doing a very good job at all, but everyone is still interested :)

I meant to comment yesterday, but my youngest wanted to nurse. I really enjoyed your video too. I like being able to see what people actually sound like ... plus, you get a better idea (to a degree) of what the person is like in real life ... and, I'm probably a tad nosy lol
