The three things that keep me sane when everything around me seems bent on making me insane!

WOW! Been a while!
I am really sorry, I have been really busy. N is getting surgery Oct. 1 and the house is still a mess.
What the surgery thing is just out of the blue? Well, yea, it kinda is. See, N has a strange growth in her neck. It is basically a bit of skin that make a pocket in her neck. It gets infected and then you have to squeeze the puss out like you would pop a zit. It isn't likely to kill her but it could become infected with something really bad and then she could die. So they are going to cut it out now that she is big enough to do so.

I have alot of unpublished patterns
I have been looking at my patterns and just realized that I have about 25 dishcloth patterns that are unpublished. Really. So I have been thinking. What should I do with them? Should I give them out for free and ask for donations? Should I sell them online? Should I try and publish a book? a combination of the above? I am really on the fence on this.

Lots of updates
Well, mostly unpacked. Still need 2 more bookshelves and need to move a few ceder chests but that will have to wait until MIL and FIL show up.
The next door neighbor is giving birth as I type. She will be having a boy and has 3 other littles so I know she will need help.
I have been meeting a bunch of cloth diaperers here, many more than I knew in FL. It is nice because I don't get questioned as much about why I cloth diaper here.

Swine Flu and A Broken Spinning Wheel
So this morning I got a call telling me that N's results were in and that N had the Swine Flu. She was tested for it 2 weeks ago and is now well over it. It is nice to know that she has had it and that is one more illness that we can cross off the list.
So little N is better but my spinning wheel is not. Seems that if you let a spinning wheel sit unused for several years things weaken and will break under the pressure of a 3 year old jumping up and down on them... like the foot pedals plastic connection to the wheel. Thankfully it can be fixed easily with some leather (we have leather so I can fix it at my leisure). Still sucks.

Avoidiance behavior
I am madly trying to get the house under control so I can have fun when my MIL comes. I know her, she will want to play, and so will I and if the house isn't completely she won't let us play (Sometimes I need to be sat on to get working... which is why I get along with her so well, she is as stubborn as me but twice as nice.)
So back to the house: It is driving me nuts, mostly because I don't have places to put most of these things and I need something to entertain the kids while I pay attention to this box I am unpacking and not to them. N is easier, give her crayons and paper and she is so happy she will color at the table (and not on it) for hours, but G... well, he wants to see mommy at all times so if mommy isn't in view, well the world has come to a screaming end.
We need to buy furniture (bookshelves mostly) but Hubby wants to be there when I buy it so that is on hold until he stops getting up at 03:30 (3:30 am) each morning to get to work and gets back at around 20:00 (8:00 pm). It is just frustrating.
