Sketches of a Small Town: November 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 25, 2011. Being a mom is hard. I'm really struggling lately and I don't really know why. The kids are actually great, I'm just kind of sick of it all. I don't know what I want. Or what I would change. I feel like I'm in a swamp. A swamp made of glue, or marshmallow after you knead it in your fingers, or something otherwise really sticky that I can push through if I really try, but I'm so tired that I just can't summon the effort to do it. I want to throw on my goddamn coat and just go.

Sketches of a Small Town: Few things
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011/10/few-things.html
Thursday, October 6, 2011. That's the last time I wrote? I'm sure it was just last week. In typical Emily fashion, I've managed to cram a kajillion things into the last 2 months. I'll tell you about them now if you like. It's safe to say I have completely adjusted to life without the store. Not once have I felt any sense of remorse or regret. Only relief really. And a small pining to start decorating for Christmas. So what am I doing with myself now you wonder? I've written two now. After a few weeks of ...

Sketches of a Small Town: February 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 3, 2011. Which one of you told me this would be easy? Somebody needs to pay because mommy be suffering. Two days ago I would have told you it was the two year old that was making me mental. Today, it's the 3 weeker. Since Griffin was born Clementine has been waking up every night, a couple times a night screaming "I need one more book! Or "I need a bottle", "I need my moooommy! And so on and so forth. Last night was only the 2nd time in three weeks that she's actually slept through.

Sketches of a Small Town: May 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. Aren't long weekends for sleeping in? Maybe drinking one too many glasses of sangria? Or at least a deck? I have been up every day this weekend at some god awful hour before 6am. One day, Clem sleeps in while Griffy wakes, the next day is the exact opposite. Daddy needs to come home now. Daddy needs to come home yesterday. We had supper at mom and dad's last night. And mom made a comment to my aunt Carolyn about how Brad is such a wonderful dad. Oh wow. What a hero. And a tad grumpy.

Sketches of a Small Town: June 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 24, 2011. Decisions have been made and the Handmade Harvest Holiday 2011 Call for Crafters (mouthful! Has been officially launched! I really thought this would get easier to organize! Colleen and I had been toying with the idea of hosting the show at two different venues (Old Town Hall and Textile Museum) simultaneously in November, and then we realized that would probably suck the joy out of it for us. There are always little fires to put out, and it's just easier when we can work together.

Sketches of a Small Town: January 2011
http://sketchesofasmalltown.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 31, 2011. I know you're all curious. And also that you'll forgive me for not blogging these past few weeks). So I'm thrilled to announce that Brad, Clementine and I have finally welcomed our newest clan member to the world. Griffin Patrick Weir was born Thursday January 20th at 2:40pm at the Almonte General Hospital. He weighed exactly what his sister did only 2 short years ago. Though he was a week early due to the c-section so I suppose he might have been bigger! Let the adventure begin!
