Light Up The Fireplace

So it's what the 9th of May today, and my dear friends it is snowing. Oh how I love Manitoba. Anyone want to trade locations? Anyone? No? Ah well..

Skyler seems to think he can crawl, and stand up by himself. I had him sitting on my lap this morning and all of a sudden he stands up and launches himself over onto my other leg and my arm and starts climbing me. I sit him back down on my leg and he stands up again and just stands there leaning on me for a while.

I'm ovulating. I can tell because I woke up the other day wanting to crochet like immediately. And I started crying twice in the same day over silly things. And chocolate tasted way too sweet. It's odd how I can tell these things. It was either the very last day in April or very early in May last year that I got pregnant with Skyler. So it's been a year since he was conceived. It was Mother's Day last year when I got my first positive pregnancy test with him. So it's kind of a special day to me in another way.

I started making a blanket for Skyler yesterday and then realized I have never actually made myself a blanket. Out of the numerous ones I've made they've all been for babies my own or others. So now I'm tempted to go back to Wal-Mart and pick up a ball of something pretty possibly a girly colour (because every other crocheted blanket in this place is blue, white, green or some combination of these colours.) and make myself something for a change. I know it's May, but with this weather, yes I am thinking about making nice warm blankets. /Sigh.
