Even in my worst days here, it's not like the early days with just one kid. It was intense and hard and just turned me inside out.<BR/><BR/>Knitting is supposed to be fun, our lives will come back to us some day, and all will be well. It's just hard. Fall is coming!Stefaneenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08422241601075022500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-54467478522660395182008-08-03T07:37:00.000-07:002008-08-03T07:37:00.000-07:00First: great recipe.

I'll pretend my car conked out and see what I can come up with from my cupboards (and whatever's left from the last trip to the farmer's market).<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. Knitting Olympics - I'd thought about this before but it had fallen off the radar again. Never done it - maybe I should forget about cleaning the bathrooms for a few weeks and just go for it. To plunge or not to plunge...must decide soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21548720.post-20434832981160586572008-08-01T18:36:00.000-07:002008-08-01T18:36:00.000-07:00I love the "art," but especially the title for it!...I love the "art," but especially the title for it!<BR/><BR/>It's okay to whine sometimes. In the thick of it, you were still able to invent a new meal, so your clear problem solving skills are coming through big and bold in the midst of adversity. (This is something I'm constantly challenging my kids to do, with somewhat limited, though growing, success....) <BR/><BR/>There are times I just wish my mom was on the premises with me to handle all of the stressful stuff, just like she did when I was growing up. The first time my oldest son threw up all over his room, I took one look at the mess and then realized that my mom doesn't live here, so it was up to me to take care of it. I think I'm digressing... In any case, it's okay to whine once in a while!!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your Olympics decision. I am also tempted by it, though I agree about the whole stress thing, and if I sign up for the Olympics, my bathrooms will never get cleaned...YarnThrowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13261414607842071918noreply@blogger.com
