I've taken the front and back facing out twice. My fusible interfacing does not look pretty after being taken out twice. I can't stand that, so I've recut the facing since I had enough fabric and redone the fusible interfacing, too.
I really do want to wear this skirt, so I'm not going to settle on it looking sew-sew (pun intended). I've done what I can: cutting, sewing, darts, zipper, etc. I'm taking a break and bringing the last leg of this skirt marathon to my mom's next week.

How can two small children suck the living breath out of me. Exhaust me more than anything I've experienced. We took them to the mall today for the tail end (I hope) of our Christmas shopping. It was a frenetic zoo. To top it all off Sophie has been having stomach cramps for about 3 days. She's been checked out by our GP, but when she again refused to drink a smoothie for dinner, I called my friend Kim, who is also our GP. She assured me that from the symptoms Sophie has (no fever), she is likely fine and that kids can survive on very few calories provided they are drinking liquids. She suggested some popcicles to get her hydrated and some glucose in her. She happily ate one and is playing with her Barbies now. I have no idea what was causing her tummy pain or if it will reappear again.
For now, they are both content.
Last night when I was ordering their drinks at Boston Pizza, I was so zapped from the day that I asked the waitress for "two kids' applesauces." She looked at me funny. "Did you mean apple juice?" "Oh, yes, that's what I mean." 10 years ago I would have been embarassed by that. Now, I just shrug my shoulders, and reorder.
Our good friends Bryan and Patti are coming over tomorrow night to watch Fynn, so Vic and I can take Sophie to this. I'm as excited as Sophie is. I've heard it's a little bit scary for little kids. Sophie is the crazy child who walked through our creepy downtown Pawn Shop when it was done up for Halloween. I say, bring it on.
