*Joining Ginny
Tuesday started out looking like it was going to be a pretty good day. The kids woke up in great moods and Sam was excited to make new friends at the first pre-school homeschool co-op meeting (My, that’s a long title, isn’t it?) we were attending that morning. The meeting went well, and we finalized days, times, and a bare-bones curriculum. It seems to be a like-minded group of moms who are interested in creating a fun, active and (very) lightly-structured learning environment for their kids, which is exactly what I want at this point. I don’t plan on introducing Latin anytime soon. He’s only three, after all.
After the meeting, everything went downhill. The kids started whining pretty heavily and I had to leave because once the crying started I couldn’t seem to console them. On the car ride home, I developed a pounding headache and knowing I wouldn’t be in the mood to make them lunch, I pullled into a drive through and bought the kids some junky food. Once we got home, I discovered both kids had fevers, and after a few bites of lunch they went down for naps and I ended up eating said junky food and taking a long nap myself. When I woke up my headache was still there and I had two very cranky babies. I couldn’t find any time to knit and to top it all off, my computer starting acting funny and I have a feeling it’s going to pass on to the great beyond any day now. It certainly wasn’t a horrible day; I’ve had much worse. But it definitely did not end the way it began. I’m hoping the kids will feel better in a few days and everything will go back to normal.
I’m not sure I can say the same for my laptop.
After making a few pattern adjustments, I finished the first sleeve of my Inland. I have one more sleeve and two pockets to knit and then I am done. I ordered my buttons but I’m not going to show those off until I am finished with the sweater. It’s going to look so good!
Love the look of that yarn. Recently finished a hat for my baby in a very similar colour. The homeschool group sounded great. What a shame the day wound up like it did. Hope you all feel better soon
Thanks, Tania. They’re still feverish today but some indoor art projects and lots of hugs seem to be improving their moods. Hopefully tomorrow is even better.
Your knitting looks beautiful! Well done.
thank you!
Awww poor babes and mama. Hope today is a much better day and everyone feels better. Sometimes we just have to nap and forget the day happened and try again. Your knitting is coming along! I cannot wait to see the buttons you picked!
Thanks Jeanette, I think you’re right…try, try again! I’m hoping to finish the sweater this weekend. We’ll see how it goes.
