A list! (what a surprise)
I am finally getting somewhere with the knitted pants for Ella. Thank goodness for friends who know what the heck they are doing. I have only had to rip out an inch once (so far) and really like the fact that what i am making will have a purpose (as opposed to the 10 pot holders, 2 scarves and one weird neck tube I have made). I am by no means a knitting Jedi, but I try. I really enjoy knit club, and was excited that detailoring came today. i hope she had fun. The kids can be a bit crazy, but it's nice to get out with other moms and just BS while the kids brain each other. Ha.
I just asked what Tom was doing, (sitting at his computer) and he said "Killing little flowers." Because, apparently, WoW is all about gardening.
We have been cleaning up the yard during the last week or so (since it's been above 40 degrees and all), which is to say: Tom rakes, Ella plays and I... read. Knit. Tell Tom where to rake. Because I am awesome.
Perks of cleaning off the back patio: There may be a grill under there!
Iris is staying with us again, while Rachel is out of town, and I am glad she is back. My right ear was so plugged I couldn't hear.
I bought a dress (for $15) at an honest to goodness retail store (though, of course it was on sale), which could work for the BBQ dress, if, you know, we don't get married then. Ha!
I also went and had Leetah cut and highlight my hair, which I can't seem to photograph, but it's the same, but better. Same length, just with shape, same color, just with pizazz. It's been... a long freaking time since I spent money on my hair. It felt nice.
I am considering going back to work at the quilt shop a couple afternoons a week, to help dig us out of the hole known as "too many bills, not enough paycheck", or in my case, no paycheck. I think we can work it out between Tom and I that he will be able to watch her while i work, and talking with the current manager of the store, she made it clear that if i want to work, she will make me a place (even if it means firing someone). It would not be anywhere near full time, and I would have to make it clear that i can not step into that 'manager' role again, but I kind of miss the girls, and all the fabric. Mmmm fabric.
My kid is super cute
I've had a bit too much caffeine.
