I sat and talked with Gayle for hours yesterday, and didn’t pick up my knitting once! What’s wrong with me? This is very strange. I did think about new projects, so I’m not totally lost. I’m sure part of it is that I’ve been working on the house/laundry/feeding of the monkeys/trying to give the kids a summer vacation so hard all week that it was nice to just sit and do nothing for an afternoon. Maybe this summer vacation thing is harder than I thought. They never stop asking me to feed/entertain them. They fight. They whine. They hurt themselves, more than I would have imagined possible. They are always needing SOMETHING from ME! It’s tiring.
I’m kind of obsessed with the prospect of redoing my bedroom. I’ll keep the furniture, but I want to renovate everything else. The paint on the walls, the bedding, curtains, lamps, move the art around, etc. Right now, it’s all denim blues and whites. Very mellow. I’m ready for some spice. I want color! And I’m contemplating making most of it myself. Big surprise. I think about it all the time, but haven’t quite settled on anything yet.
Do we have any Cable-Eights? I haven’t received any emails. I’m probably going to kill the Hayden-along soon, so if you’re lolly-gagging on that one, be warned.
I don’t have any knitting to show you, but to keep things interesting, I can show you this…
Yup, that’s my man.

It’s entirely possible that your man and mine would enjoy a playdate.

Does that photo have something to do with that secretive phone call?
By the way, while I sat in your living room yesterday, I swatched a new yarn. I guess next time I will just start handing you needles and yarn. Perhaps you will start knitting and not even realize it…
Thanks for helping me with the mess I made of the first skein on your umbrella swift!

Since my Lauralund was blocking yesterday, I was taking a little break from knitting. I sat down to watch a video with my 3-year-old (Nathan) and he said, “Where’s your yarn, Mama? Get your yarn!”

It’s time to get those kids in a summer day camp. As a therapist recently told me, “Kids are too sophisticated nowadays to stay home day after day, week after week in the summer.” All in favor of year-round school?
Hang in there! One day you’ll miss the noise (but not the whining) 🙂

so are the kids having this effect on Nate?
