Eta: MH for going on a wine run right now before we eat dinner.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.

@mrsduddles ok why do you like knitting? I can sew and I can crochet but never have I tried knitting. What do you recommend to get me started? I'll buy it right now. Need some more retail therapy!

@suzycupcake I'd start simple with a scarf and a garter stitch. I started there and it became the simple, no need to look thing that I can do with my hands while thinking, on public transport, in the pub and while watching tv. It's simple, easy and so calming and repetitive. I can crochet and sew too but I find they need more of my attention than my knitting.
1. My parents. They are amazing and always, always jump to help me.
2. My mom's coworkers who give me pep talks and confidence boots. Today 1 of them told me to inform my husband that if he ever let's me go, her son will scoop me up in a heartbeat and she will be much nicer to me then my current MIL
3. Lattes. Even if they are not mafe to perfection and from Dunkins
4. My job and work place. I've not even been here a year and they've made me family. They are just awesome people.
5. That my work place is less the 10 min from home and I get an hour lunch to sit on my couch alone.
6. Freshly waxed eyebrows
7. Showers, long warm delightful showers
8. Kotex security pads (w cotton like top layer). They make 2 weeks of pads bearable.
9. Chocolate. Always chocolate.
10. Spring is close (even though we are getting slammed with a storm today though tomorrow
