What Have I Been Up to??


Here is a knitted afghan I have been working on. I am on the 4th strip. It is alot of fun. The strips on the left and right, are color themes, and the one in the center, is my left over yarn. I have enjoyed this project a lot.

Remember when?

I remember when I was young. I watched " I dream of genii" I used to wish that I was a gene. That I could blink and all would be better. That all my chores, homework, problems would be finished and gone. I have not moved on much from those years I was 10. Now, I wish I was an air, earth, water, or fire bender. Yes I am hooked on "Avatar, the last airbender" I say to the kids. I tried to airbend that to you, but couldn't get it to move. Or I tried to airbend firebend some supper, but couldn't get a spark. If you don't know about this program, you don't have a 7 and 9 year old. However, it is well done. It is based on an actual ancient art, and reminds me of star wars. I am hard pressed for mental release. But, I enjoy it.

I have been running around with the kids and life. I have become the new CEO and CFO of Walsh manor. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I have slowly been working on the organization of the manor, for about 5 months now. Now I apparently promoted myself to CEO. The CFO came as a necessity for the need of our family finances or lack there of. So, I have been plugging away on spread sheets and lists, bank statements and receipts.

I have also been keeping up with homework and tutor schedules. Emailing teachers, going to school each morning for an hour and one morning for 3 hours. I have ECFE at nights, what a joy!!

Then in my spare time, I have been the Parent Advisory Council Chair person. This comes with a higher price then anticipated this year. Re organizations have made consistency a rare thing in that organization.

I do like crafting and reading, but frankly don't get much of that done. It is hard to do that with my eyes closed.

one thing i learned. buy bigger needles and poofier yarn, better for the instant gratification factor :))
