My Day Thus Far

Sent three kids to school
Done three loads of laundry
Folded two loads of laundry
Baked bread (my house smells so GOOD)
Read stories to Josh (and watched as he carried more and more out into the living room)
Put books away :p
Cast-on a new knitting project. Can't say what it is, as it's a Christmas present for someone very very lucky! :)
Checked Leaky mail
Discovered all of the Crafty Witches birthdays, save one.
Chatted with friends

It is now 10:47am and I have been up since 6:30am. How is your day going?

More Knitting

I've finished a few more projects.

First, I realized that I desperately needed something to corral the bath toys, so:


I also started this Hufflepuff scarf for Matthew months ago, so I figured I'd better complete it. YAY!

My Life and I are Made of Fail Today

All I want is a clean house. Is this too much to ask? I don't think so.

My internet connection keeps going in and out. I've had a tech guy over three times in the last three weeks, to no avail. It might be time to get a new ISP.

I have about a thousand things on my to-do list, and I can't stop knitting! While knitting is a good thing, I need to keep my priorities straight. First, a clean and organized house, and then i can knit!

I unintentionally hurt a very dear friend's feelings today. I had taken steps to do just the opposite, but it blew up in my face.

To my dear friend, I cannot begin to express how deeply sorry I am. I love you and cherish our friendship. I did not mean to hurt you, and please believe that it was your feelings that I had meant to protect, rather than damage. You were all I thought about. I hope that you can forgive me and be happy again.

I am made of fail.

Inspiration

As many of you have already seen my Gnome for my DADA class for the House Cup (see a few entries down) I thought it would be nice to show you where I got my inspiration.

CLICK ME!

This was done by a dear friend of mine, Snakey. Well, that's not really her name, but when I first met her online, her screen name was (and still is in a lot of places) Anguinea. She likes snakes. Yeah, I don't get it either. Regardless, she's awesome and I loved her mandrake, so it made me realize that I can in fact knit more than scarves and dishcloths. Thanks, Snakey! *bite*

And, until Christmas, my Grumpy Gnome lives here:

First Day of School Pics 2009!

Who's ready for school?

WE ARE!

Waiting patiently for the bus.

HERE IT COMES!

And this is how Joshua coped with being the only one at home with Mommy.

And are we all happy that things are back on the school schedule? Yes. Yes we are. :)
