DAMN YOU HESPHESTUS
mood: 
calm
calmWE had to leave faire at 12:30. Sorry if this makes you sad.
To those who complained, listen up:
My children are more important than
a) your gig
b) your pictures
c) Col and I working Tavern
d) my own health
e) EVERTHING
If ever my kids show signs of being truly unhappy because of a place, a situation, or THE FREAKING WEATHER, I am pulling them. Immediately. I do not care if that ruins your day. YOU are NOT that important, compared to my children.
In four years, when they are 5 and 4, things may be different. Not much, but I can expect them to put up with a little heat to help others out. But NOT when they are 3 months and 19 months old. I don't care it that leaves you hanging.
No, really, I don't.
Now, ask me how I feel.
PS, to all those STILL at faire, it's 5:30 Sat evening, it's +95F for you, I'm in the AC, with two happy and sleeping children, both of whom ate, drank enough to fill diapers and make mommy happy, and are, once again, sleeping.
So:: big raspberry:: While I love Faire, I worry when the weather is this hot this early...
Really? People complained?
Part of that post was guilt on my part. I can put up with the heat alot better than most people, and Usually I would have stayed. Leaving early was a huge choice on my part. Leave, I think I felt really guilty that I couldn't figure out how to get the kids to cooperate with "the flow".
Part of it was that earlier I was getting comments about not helping.....with one kid crying from a colic bout, and the other so tired she fell out of her cot (it's a low cot, not to worry).
However, I'm thinking there were possibly comments about the fact that we were already light on bodies to begin with and we just got lighter when 2 more adults left...and on a hot day when we needed water pourers.
Mostly I think I was feeling guilty combined with the 'looks'.... And again, it was ass hot and I was cranky...
Sorry about unloading.
They aren't responsible for your children - YOU are, and you took care of them.
If I hadn't been pregnant this season, I probably would have done a lot more this weekend, but I'm taking care of myself (and the growing one), pacing myself so I last the whole day, and I skipped BogFest so I'd have energy for Sunday. All my own choices, and if anyone dared to give me any crap for them, I would have given them hell. First priority is the baby, as no one else can take care of it right now but me. Likewise with your kids. You are their mommy first, and you did exactly what you should have done.
Good for you, and I'm glad that you are all cool and happy. And don't you dare feel guilty! :)
