Mommy's Broken: Life with Lupus: One dress down... 500 more to go.

One dress down... 500 more to go.

This is my 1st dress. This was a made for a good friend, they picked the fabric. It was a blast doing it and gave me alot of practice. I think it turned out well, and they seem to really like it. Of course their daughter looked adoreable in it, then again she is adoreable in a paper sack.

Thanks again! :)

I'll get a pic of it on our little model as soon as possible. :) She's currently in "mess-making-mode" so I won't risk it! lol

Why Mommy's Broken?

I have two little girls. Trying to get them to understand that Mommy isn't like all the other Mommies is much harder than you'd think. Doing it while trying not to scare them is even harder. I wanted to give them something they would understand on their level but wouldn't be lost on someone else. So I started by telling them that Mommy was broken, as to not tell them I am sick. Sick people get better, mommy doesn't. There are days when Mommy can get up and run around and do all those wonderful things; But there are days when Mommy has to stay in bed and rest. They have been able to take this information and be at ease about Mommy not being 'normal' or 'healthy'. Now I have a new challange of trying to let them know that mommy is not going to get to live as long as most other people. Telling your kids you are going to die is alot harder than you'd think.
