I usually think of Saturdays as a day of rest – probably a hold over when Sundays were the busiest day of the week for us when DH was in ministry. But now our family time is on the weekend and we use Saturday to get everything done that didn’t happen all week. And, boy does that make for a busy day.

Can you believe I still have sick kids!?! J2 is still feverish (at times) and coughing. Poor guy! We had to miss his first speech therapy last week due to his illness.

Eric and J1 headed out at 6:30 this morning for a Renn Faire in the Bay Area – the first of 2005. I hope they are having a good time…at least the weather has dried up for them.

In knitting news – I’m knitting some slipper/socks fro J1 – have about 2-3 more inches and then I can start the toe. Since I’m knitting them simultaneously sp?? they’ll be done at the sametime. I’m doing a bit more work from time to time on my “Thing” Sampler (took the links down because I’m so behind). Also, I’m still working on my purple shawl…it’s so soft! I’m almost 1/2 done I think.

I’ve been helping a bunch of my HS buddies online create blogs this week – I’ve added a few new links to be reads (misc) – I hope you’ll visit them and say Hi!

Well, the boys are wanting to set up the train track – the benefit of cleaning their room – we can actually set it up! LOL Later!

I’ve just been really down this morning…feeling a bit lost and defensive.
But my boys are so great!! J#2 and J#3 are the only ones home this morning – and because we have not completed (or started!) school yet, there is no tv allowed. They are great about entertaining themselves. They just brought out a blanket wrapped up with all the stuffed animals they could find. Through their own process of deduction, they have declared some girls and some boys. And, they are all getting married! LOL
In just a few short years they will not play like this anymore…and they might even be embarrassed that I’ve chosen to record this…but I’m so thankful for the smiles they bring to my face….even on a bad day like this!!

First, knitting news! I turned the heel!! And, I’ve picked up the stitches!!! Up next the gusset!!! I’m sooooooo excited! I don’t wanna eat, I don’t wanna clean, I don’t wanna do anything but knit! Sadly, I still live in reality! ;/

On the homefront…we are having a BBQ tonight with my mom, MIL, FIL, sister, BIL, nephew and two nieces. My BIL is going to help me a bit with this yard…what to keep, what to dig up…where to put a small garden…etc. I can’t wait.

Well, I hate to make this so short….but I really want to finish that sock!!! 🙂
