Okay, I was minding my own business lurk/perusing the blogs and I come across this and this and when I came home early with a sick little gurl today, there were two packages waiting for me. The one was the yarn for Dad's socks - still not sure why one package takes 14 business days and the other two take 5. But that was another story. Then there was the package from Jacque of This Kitten Knits. Wow - I am working on the photo of that, but thank you so much!!!
I mowed the lawn tonight with my new reel mower. It is a Husqvarna and it works great. No pollution - all my muscle power. Something has already misaligned, but the big gurl was yelling that her sister had thrown up again, so I had to come in. Poor little mite. No energy to even cause trouble and when asked if she wanted to go to bed, she just nodded her head yes. Thank you so much to Diane for coming over with apple juice and powerade since wasn't taking her to the store.
Little one is up again - clean jammers again. The worst part of all this is that after she throws up, she grinds her teeth. Hate that noise. Her father is in the bad books. He called tonight and when I told him she was sick, he acted and talked like it was a big joke. Yeah - she' dropped at least a pound since this morning, but hahaha pukey sick!!!!
ARRRGGHH
The big gurl'z father called to say he is definitely making it on Friday - all sympathetic and thoughtful that the little one is ill. What is up with these two - when one is good the other is bad?
And people think I am missing something by being single? Yeah sex - and that's it! (and since I got pregnant on the last two major occasions of that, well it is not high on my list of priorities right now!!!!)

Tuesday that felt like Monday
Monday was ... a day at home with the gurlz cleaning and cleaning and knitting. And opening the mail!!!! My yarn came in - HURRAY - and so did another order of yarn from Australia. They are all sock weights. Also got a pair of shoes, comfy pants, leopard body suit and a vintage house gown. Anti-climatic. I believe my shopping frenzy has ended so I can get back to the knitting. Pictures will eventually appear, but not in the photography mode right now.
I was home Monday cause the big gurl refused to go to school and wasn't chewing anything. That seems better today and off to work we went.
Ballet rehearsal was tonight and the gurlz are still wired. Can't get them to bed. I think I will go myself and they can tuck me in.
I'm halfway to the heel on my socks and it seems to be going well. Found a pattern that explains the increasing bit, so will need to start that soon.
Here's a good one - I take my knitting to work with me, for breaks if it rains or just cause I like to have it along. I'm dealing with lawyers and accountants most of the day. I was so steamed after hanging up from speaking with this accountant "i know you haven't been doing this very long and I have done hundreds of these. You should talk to D~~~ and then you'll see what I mean. I am very thorough if I am unsure of what to do, so I had already talked to D and she had told me to do exactly what I did. He didn't' believe me, so I told him I would have D call him back. She did and he argued with her about it. And told me I was right. I mean, I don't have all the technical jargon down pat but I said it in plain English - and he didn't believe me. I LOVE MY JOB!!!
Anyways, the best part was, that D was on the phone when I was needing some moral support, so to calm down, I pulled out the socks and knitted a round. This is fabulous.
I'm going to sleep now and if the gurlz want to they can stay up all night!!!!!

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
There are a number of songs out there with 'Sunday' in the title that are running through my head right now. That is one and there is the Johnny Cash one - Another Sunday going down or something like that. I'm not thinking too many Holy songs unless you count a recurring 'Alleluia - with various other parts just cause we all lived to tell the tale.
Today was one of those days. Not that anything terribly horrible happened but, well there was blood and screaming and crying and dirt and paint and dogs and friends and whining and knitting and baking and cleaning and laundry and dirty diapers and dirty faces and ...
The blood is probably the big thing - It's around 7:00 pm and I am getting the little gurl naked for bath time - I think she was naked, when a thud or thump and screaming. Naked gurl deserted as I go looking for screaming gurl. She is in a weird heap on top of toys with blood on her face and coming from her mouth. (brain goes - oh God she's breathing she's screaming, she's bleeding the teeth the blood) Honey it's okay mommy's here come in the bathroom (drip goes the blood) and Mommy will get you a cold cloth and is it just your mouth or does something else hurt. - naked gurl is still standing where she was left, but with diaper in hand for mommy to put away - she goes in the tub cause then I know where she is. The cup of water I was drinking and a baby washcloth combine for cold compress number 1 - i think number 10 or so is still on the chin cause bleeding not stopped at last check.
The damage - big gash in tongue - Thank you God that tongues heal so quickly!!! one of the teeth was bleeding, but it seems okay. There is a small gash in the side of her chin - I really can't comprehend how it got there, but there it is. It won't completely stop bleeding, So the big gurl is lying on the couch, fast asleep, with a wet cloth on it cause for some reason she knows what stitches are and she doesn't want one! We will see when I put her to bed how it is doing. She tripped over the pillow that is at their reading corner and smashed into the second from the bottom shelf. OUCH! But except for the above mentioned injuries, there is nothing else to report.
The screaming/crying yelling stuff - both gurlz had nasty tantrums today. The big one didn't' sleep long enough this morning ( E is an early riser and was ready to go before 7:00 am) (I was up with the little one at this point anyways, but usually the big one sleeps an hour or so longer on Sundays) We were at the park and she had to go pee. There is no place to pee. So after she had played an additional half hour or so, the whining got bad and away home we went. I made her walk, because I know that riding in a wagon would not work and there were three kidz, not just two and there is only room for two in the wagon. She cried and screamed all the way home (two blocks). We get home and she goes in the house and stands there - I carried/dragged her to the washroom and got her on without any accidents. She proceeded to cry another 15 minutes or so, then retreated fro some quiet time in her room (on her own) and then came up to whine some more that E wouldn't leave her alone and only her sister is nice to her and... I told her to go rest in my bed and be quiet. She did. Then she came up and the three of them played outside (paint water and sunshine - what more could they need).
At one point, E and the big gurl hollered - that the little gurl was all black mouthed from eating the paint and brush. So i brought her in and tried to clean her up (while also trying to finish the lunch). She started screaming and well didn't stop until Mel and K arrived for E. Mel got her to sleep and that was the end of that. We all had good naps.
The rest of the day was pretty good - housework is always there and some needed doing. The baking was banana chocolate chip cupcakes for the kids and Oatmeal cake (the one mom always made) because there was oatmeal left from breakfast.
The knitting I am so excited about. I started with my kitty yarn (spindle cat studios - posted previously) my ADDI circulars #1 and began the toe of my socks. I just want to say I love this kind of knitting!! The socks are exactly the same. They will be done at the same time. And now that I understand the flow of the pieces. it's going very quickly. (okay only 2.25 inches, but you know what else I did today already). I am going to try very hard not to buy any more yarn. Sock yarn does count (I have enough right now for 4 pairs at least. Of course that means I have to avoid all these fabulous sock yarn dyers and ....
I WILL BE STRONG.
Regarding the ongoing missing parcel issue - need to find out if the customs # means anything and where I can find out. Of course, i am afraid to look up the other parcels that are coming registered for fear they went walking also. I am not a very trusting person.
About the yarn I'm knitting with - it's like a walk down memory lane. The first cats I can remember on our farm were 'Tammy' and 'Tommy'. Tommy was a black and white tomcat. Tammy was mainly white with black and brown spots. As I knit the yarn there are times when that exact colour is there. Love this. (very much afraid socks will be too small and will have to frog and start over. 2.25 inches not long enough to check. Also need to figure in some simple increases- thinking that if I do two every 2 inches (or so) it will shape up okay. The Knitty formula i am following doesn't really mention increases. Will have to see.)
Need to knit some more and check out the chin.
Have a great week.

A day well spent.
Saturday Night, da ba dee da ba doo...
Used to dance to that song (or something like it) quite a bit on Saturday nights and Friday nights and Wednesday nights. Tonight my song is 'sleep sleep sleep, my little child sleep'. And they are. What a great day. I did nothing more or less than I wanted to and if it doesn't get done tomorrow, oh well. I like that feeling.
My aunt in the Netherlands is getting married on Tuesday. A civil ceremony to her long time boyfriend. We found out last week-end. Our family has decided not to go. The part that gets me, is this: He lives and works "somewhere else" (my mother's words) and she is going to try and get a job near where he lives, but if she can't she will keep her flat in Amsterdam and just continue on. Wow. I mean, that's some commitment. See I do the reverse: I'll get pregnant and have a baby, but forget about marrying me buddy. It's an interesting start to a marriage I guess.
I have a Finished Object. (no picture cause I haven't the energy right now). I mean really! Barbie is going to be much warmer ( if she ever finds her afghan buried under everything else). A delightful little afghan complete with fringe. The pattern, from Knits for Barbie, by Nicky Epstein was a fairly quick knit. I was going to embroider the flowers on it, but the gurl didn't want that so I won't.
The big gurl is sleeping with a boy tonight. It is Mel and K's wedding anniversary (9th maybe) and I offered to take one of the kidz - the boy. Except for the occasional tiff over a toy or not wanting to play the same game, they were great. The sleeping together in the same bed is not really an issue at 4 and 6 as they have no concept of each other's bodies (yet).
That's all to report tonight. little cotton rabbits had some thinking awards to hand out and I linked to those, which then linked to some more, and well, wow. Some people do a lot with their time. I took the kidz to the park this afternoon and the gurlz went grocery shopping with me this morning. I think it may have something to do with their ages, but I am going to have to plan some day trips. Need to look into booking a hotel for the wedding at the end of the month. May is going to be insane.
And then June will be the end of the school year trips and this and that and ballet ends next week. I think I will go cast on my socks. A little confused am i by the way they wrote in the short rows, but will try it and see. I have her blog address if I run into a problem.
Have a great night!!!

Driving me ... gardening & knitting - calming me
I love being home!!
I am so happy I live near work and do not have to drive too many highways. By 7:45 am this morning, I wanted to pull my car off the road and hide. The highways and biways of driving towards a major metropolis. Is there some unwritten rule that since you're going really fast you don't need to signal and can just move over and then honk the horn because the person who did signal and really only wants to get over one lane - not three is in your way!??!?!?!?!!? And Hello - when all you give the poor driver wanting to find her way home before traffic gets crazy is EAST or WEST with no major city listings or anything is it any surprise I was halfway to the airport when I realized I was going in the wrong direction?!?!?! I know that I live south east from where I was therefore it stands to reason that the direction I want to take is EAST not WEST!!!!!!! And then , nicely coasting along on the right path and then all the sudden there goes the exit you needed because you are in the wrong lane and no one will move and well it's the whole directional thing again. I have a great sense of direction but not today. And even worse, I started off by blaming myself because I didn't print the directions back from where I was. I was very happy to be home. I am very happy to be able to drive a total of 12 minutes on the highway in order to arrive at my work destination. The people who drive much further are CRAZY - and yes that means you whoever almost hit me today!!!!!!!! The only thing I keep telling myself is that since I had to go for work, they will reimburse my travel expenses. I will be paid something for the great stress of today. I mean seriously at 8:00 am I was contemplating finding headache relief as i sped down the highway. And the morning had been going so well.
But, it was a beautiful evening, and the gurlz and I spent some time outside cleaning up the lawn debris and trying to decide where to start int he great level the lawn and fix up the front yard adventure. I think I will start with the back yard, so the gurlz will have someplace to play. There is the matter of the rotting shed that needs removing and the replacing of it also. And then it is really annoying to have to bring all your gardening tools inside so they don't rot outside if it rains, but you have this great area, just no place that is dry. I think maybe I will order that 6 foot by 3 foot storage thing to put at the end of the back patio thing and put all the stuff in there. Once the yard is redone, I can put it at the back of the property or something.
The big gurl can't fall asleep. I even let her go in my bed since my room is darker than hers. Now she is on the couch here. Oh well, it's not her fault.
The package still didn't come. It has been exactly a week since the first one arrived. I mentioned it to Kate of spindle cat studios, but it isn't her fault. Tomorrow I will call the local post office and see if they can give me any direction. May have to put tracking on my packages, but that always increases the shipping and ...
May have to stop spending money. May...
I did some knitting on some of my UFO'. I can't call them WIP's because some of them have been sitting for more than six months. That makes them UFOs. But, I am trying to knit the 'don't lift your hand off the needle way' and that makes a completely different tension. Good thing the Barbie's in my house are not too high maintenance.
I worked on the knitted afghan for Barbie. And last night, I worked on the scarf that was one of 4 for my sis and sis-in-laws. I finished the one for sis - get this though. I sent her and her roommate a 'gift box' that year with all sorts of treats and surprises and a pair of knitting needles, a knitting book and this awesome soft yarn. Told her to cast on 20 to 25 stitches and just go back and forth until the two balls were used up. She brought it back to me at Christmas that year, so I knit it up before she left. Don't even know where the other yarn is right now. Didn't work anymore on the sock gauge swatch. Might use a different yarn for the first pair. We'll see.
This is a very random post. Oh and the other thing to bother me this morning? Country 95.3 was giving away a weekend at a resort. You had to call in and make the sound effects as they tell a story. This woman was pitiful. Making little to no noise and just laughing along. She still won! I mean what kind of contest is it if you don't even have to try?!!?!?! Why not just mail me the winning stuff and be done with it? Very off putting.
(yes I listen to country music - and a lot of other music too).

Just one more...
Okay I want to make this. The little gurl'z dad is crazy for elephants and this is so sweet. He is being ultra helpful tomorrow by taking the gurlz to and from daycare since I have to leave town before the daycares open and may not be back in time. Sometimes the traffic is good and sometimes it is bad.
Last night, I started my gauge swatch for my first pair of socks. I'm not crazy about the splittiness of the Regia, however, I am also trying to knit in the other style - the don't lift your hands off the needles style. It is coming along and as I am progressing, I can remember seeing my Beppe knit this way. Memories are wonderful things.
I think I need to stop looking at all the patterns because my want to do list is much longer than the time I have.
Of course, I also need to stop looking at yarn - I mean I bought it for a specific project (which I don't have a pattern for) but really my stash is growing, and my projects are increasing, but my time is not and I think I will need to schedule my time otherwise someone is going to get in trouble.
I will not buy more yarn. I will not buy more yarn. I WILL NOT BUY MORE YARN.
(at least not until all my current orders come in and I actually finish another project).
Need to put the gurlz to bed and then clean up the laundry and ...

Suspicious Minded ME
ARGH

parenting.
Want to do this and want to do that, but unfortunately have to do housework and have to do laundry and help with the homework.
I have decided that I am entirely too suspicious and my missing yarn is just delayed due to...
- Accidentally being shipped to Alaska (I've always wanted to go so if some yarn of mine went, it's almost the same right?)
- Sitting at customs being held hostage because they figured there should be a duty charged as it is worth far more than the listed value.
- A poor freezing animal/person needed it to eat.
Or what I am really thinking is that someone stole it, figuring that I got three other packages so I will not notice that one is not there. However they did not know that I had already plotted the purpose of the yarn and am very very very impatiently waiting for the mini skein of almost black tabby yarn to create something. nasty yarn thievin' peoples!!!!!
I will be okay. No bills today. just a friendly invitation from Telus to purchase a family plan and get a free phone for the family member. Hello - they are 19 months and 6 what kind of glutton for punishment do you think I am?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
On another train of mind. Also saw THIS !!! Am going to make one in brown or maybe hot pink. I don't know, but I plan on having fun making it!!!! yes yes i know after the gurlz are asleep.
For a fun read go see this blog. Thank you so much Penny for the laughs!!!!!
