The Life of Me and Mine . . .

I love technology, I'm typing this from my NDS XL in my living room. The wifi is working for now, it's been a real ass lately. So whats happening in my life. I'm behind on everything and attempting to play perpetual catch up. I'm busy knitting on overdue projects, looking for a job, fighting with a ten year old house and all it's gadgets from falling apart, along w/both vehicles. Kids are pains but I still love them. New dog, cute but whiny, named him Ragnar, pictures soon to follow. Ok, I've abused the comma enough for one post and I have kids to get to school, a dog to bathe, a house to clean for a slumber party and regular party, two rsvps to send for the girls to attend a few parties, and a quick get away to plan for, oye, ooo and more jobs to apply for too.

Sorry to be AWOL for so long, not much happening here, Ju is now 6, the Tweedles are recently turned 5, boy is still trouble and 3.5. School has been interesting, a lot of work and just not enough time to do it in. I've been knitting some but nothing is really getting done. I've also done some card weaving, have some trim almost done. Learned how to make glass beads not so long ago, I will have to take some pictures so that you can all see and I can document. Sewing has been keeping me busy, T, boy and I are going to Pennsic and so I have a lot to do before then. really need to get my fitted dress done, would be nice to have one.

My friend Zoë and her husband Rob, just visited from England this last weekend and it was great! I was sad to see them go but hope that they have fun with our other knitting friend Kim in Atlanta. Someday I will get over to England and Scotland, and now we know a few more people from over that way. Also T and Rob seemed to hit it off, I think T has the fire to go now too. Woot.

Well I recently moved this blog from another email address, the address here is screwy but hopefully in 90 days I'll be able to adjust it back to it's normal self.

Not much going on here, I'm in masters school and it's a ton of work. The kids are growing and are a pain in the toosh, hopefully that will get better.

I'm at Perkins right now, just did some homework and am hanging out with my friend Rach.

Life is busy, but good. We're making it all work the best we know how.

It's a sad day. Our dog of 1 year and a bit had to be euthanized. Please if you disagree don't comment, I don't care what you think, this was a choice that was already hard to make. I really fell in love with this dog, she was so sweet and happy. Even when she wasn't feeling well she would try to make me happy. She had a blockage in her small intestine that wouldn't pass in either direction and we could not afford to get it fixed. Our children come first and with the slow season in housing, hubby's work could be way less, and that money was just not available. It sucks and I hate it, I miss her already. I will miss her 15 minute crazy runs and her click clacking nails on the linoleum. I will miss her being so good as I trimmed and dremeled her toe nails to make her look pretty. I'll miss her hair everywhere and her way she looked at you with her loving very expression-filled eyes. She was a wonderful dog and I miss her so much and I hate that I couldn't do  her. I love you Lydia, enjoy the Summerlands.

Well, it has been crazy busy around here. Masters school is taking up most of my time, we have three weddings to attend in the coming weeks. Next weekend is our last weekend without concrete plans for one of the days. Mostly because we can't afford to do anything. The three weekends after that are weddings, good I didn't work Renaissance Faire this year, I guess.

Best girlfriend had her 29th birthday on Sunday, so we took the kids, sans T, to the Renaissance Faire, it was interesting. My bosses there brought me some unprocessed wool, I'm scared to open the bag because its taken all summer to get to me. If it's no good what should I do with it???

T just got done working three weeks of 2nd shift, it has been very trying, especially on my homework time. I have had a hard time getting things done when the kids tend to be their naughtiest in the evening. So studying time is hard when hubby isnt home to help or let me leave.

Ju is in school now, full time kindergarten, she is loving it. Her second day of school she had to get tubes in her ears and missed school but other than that it has been great. Early to get up, but still great. She loves loves loves school and riding the bus and all of it, I truly hope she never loses that love.

Tweedles Ro and Ra are in pre-school twice a week now too They're first day was yesterday and they seemed to have a great time. They both gave me big hugs when they were done, it was awesome. Tomorrow more school for them, hopefully the morning will run smoother than it did this morning. We had a rough start. I'm leaving it at that.

This weekend hopefully we will have some time and motivation to clean the garage, I hope it all works out, the garage needs it and I think we do to. I plan to put a lock on the cupboard today and clean up some of my crafting area, which includes moving some things around from our room down to the basement, we will see if any of it actually gets done.

Just updated the fridge calendar, hopefully that will help keep us organized.

Well that is I think everything for now. Take care to all of you, or at least the one that reads here.
