Opening Joke:
Aaron: Wow, the place is pretty clean - you got a lot done, today!
(aside: I totally did, I paid bills, cleaned, did some laundry, started dinner, and the kids were fed, clothed, alive, etc.)
Aaron: Was your mom here today or something?
Um, no. Hardy-har har.

I was awarded a Thinking Blogger award!
Kirsty and Pieces actually both nominated me - thanks, ladies!
................
Of course that got me thinking about my blog...
I realize I kind of have a lot of ... topics going on here. I could have separate blogs: crafting, mommy-ing, homeschooling, autism, but putting them together is who I am. Any one of those things would be incomplete without the others - it wouldn't be ME at all.
So thanks for reading - even when the post doesn't apply/interest you! Or at least coming for back later... and I'm glad that it comes through that I do think about things other than applique and embroidery.
I also realized that I mostly read crafting blogs. I've subscribed fairly recently to a few more autism blogs - specifically ones by autistic adults - but I read blogs mostly for crafty inspiration.

So here are my Thinking Awards (It was very hard to choose!):
MOM-NOS - She already has an award, but she is my ultimate 'Thinking' blog and deserves a SUPER-DOUBLE-MEGA thinking award. She writes beautifully and shares wonderful stories about her son, Bud, who you can't read about without falling in love with.
In tHe QuiEt HeArt - I recently found this blog - she posts some thought provoking, well-worded posts.
Tiny Happy
&
Luckybeans - both of these blogs are so creative, and remind me of how similar our lives can be, even lived so far apart (in very fascinating places!).
Two Lime Leaves - yeah, I realize I probably shouldn't give you an award back, but you really do make me think, Kirsty! Check out her thinking post.
(And to add to her 'Real Women' post - here's my 2-cents:
Real Women find joy in motherhood.)
(If you got an award today and feel like playing: Display the badge on your post and award to 5 people.)
