My Blog is blogged........

Well, I am sorry to say that I have no knitting to report. I am in an official slump. The amount of activity in my home right now is on maximum and I have not had two minutes to sit and knit a thing. I also have not been inspired by anything lately. Usually, I have a pattern or project that I can't stop thinking about and knit into the wee hours, but I haven't seen one lately. Between all my children's soccer games, dance lessons, Brownie meetings and then the school activities, I have been exhausted! I am getting old. However, once I get passed the recital and all the crazy weekends of May and June, I am planning to sit on the beach ALL summer and enjoy the kids and my knitting. "Hi" to my blogging buddies and please don't stop reading just because I am boring right now. Promise to be back to my knitting-self soon!

No knitting for me....

Hello there my blogger friends. I have no new pictures to add to my blog since I haven't taken the time to take any. Sadly, I haven't been knitting much either. I did finish my flip-flops for my chicklets and now am starting a few for teacher gifts. I really want to try the new sock craze, but am overwhelmed. I need to sit with someone who does this and get a little tutoring. I don't usually use dpn's and feel awkward with them. The pattern in the newest Interweave Knits magazine is so pretty. Did anyone see it? Such pretty socks. I just feel like I might be over my head. I have pretty much tackled all of my summer clothes bins. Now, I am just trying to weed out all the clothes that the kids don't need and get them the heck out of my house. I brought four huge plastic bags of clothes to the Good Will and have about two more. Mostly my clothes now. I lost two more pounds this week. I am on a mission to at least look half way decent in my bathing suit this summer. We will see....

My crazy life...........

Well, it's May! Cannot believe how fast the months slip by. I am not complaining though since I love, love, love the warm weather and am thrilled to be outside and having fun again. We are not winter people in this house.

My weekend was NUTS to say the least. I had three soccer games to get my children to, a birthday party and a dance rehearsal. Then, after that was all done (all in one day, I might add) I slept in my car from midnight on so I could buy recital tickets for my chicklets. Yes, I actually left my warm, cozy bed to attempt to sleep in my car overnight. O.k., call me a nut for doing that, but I have been sleeping in the car for many years now since the recital tickets are highly coveted at our dance school. I would also like to say that not only was I #15 when I arrived at 12 midnight, but by 3am the line was wrapped around the building. I wouldn't do this for Rolling Stones tickets, but I would do anything for my kids. I have completely lost my mind, I know.

The other saga of my weekend, was Mickey. No, not the one in Disney, but the cute, little grey mouse that scurried across my family room floor on Thursday (my first sighting of him) while I was peacefully knitting between school bus pick-ups. Mickey was in my house, uninvited, for three days until on Sunday, he showed up again. That, with the fact that I was running on about 1 hour sleep (did I mention that I TRIED to sleep in my car the night before?) caused me to freak out. My husband and girls were lucky and caught Mickey for me. He is now WAY back in the woods of our yard and hopefully realizes that is where he should stay or else his fate won't be as kind as this stay in our home. Needless to say, I am pulling apart my entire pantry to clean to make sure he didn't get into anything. And then, I have the other "craft closet" to put back together since my mouse police pulled it all out when Mickey scurried under that door. I will have a clean kitchen when I am done, but wasn't planning the massive spring cleaning after my stint in the car. Oh well, such is life. No knitting for me today, I am afraid!
