Domestic Goddess

Erm, not so much these days. I have a newborn who doesn't sleep and nurses all the time, an older baby who is still getting up at night (and today greeted us with a cribful of vomit) and all I can say is THANK GOD for preschool or my toddler would be wrecking havoc all day on top of everything else. I think I've entered the cranky fourth trimester phase, which is not to be confused with the irate third trimester phase (My favorite line from this article? "All you can really be sure about is whether or not your water has broken yet. Not yet? Okay, then you gotta make supper again, darn it.") The cranky fourth trimester phase is characterized by extreme sleep deprivation, irritability, the tendency to eat cookies for breakfast, depression over wardrobe choices, the intense desire to burn every item of maternity clothing in your possession, and obsess over clothing that doesn't yet fit or look good. Oh, and spend way too much money on clothing or shoes in an attempt to find something that fits and makes you feel good about yourself in the morning. And is nursing friendly. And not frumpy. And...okay, I'm shutting up now.

But wait! Don't leave yet! I do have a card!! My card today features the Domestic Goddess dsp that I love so much. I made this card during my fit of creative nesting before E arrived. It is a riff on a card I saw on Vicki Burdick's blog (I love everything she is posting lately and want to CASE it all!)
