Life....

So, whats up?

My mom and dad are headed down to Florida for the next 6 months - they are orphaning me again. I really don't know why they want to play with hurricanes, I think its the Mickey Mouse pull.....

Have heard nothing really about the job. Well, I did stop in at HR last week and was told "unofficially" that there had been an internal person interested, but that she had declined the position so they would be interviewing. I am going back to talk to HR tomorrow, hopefully for good news.

Went shopping on Friday. Like to pick up at least 1 "outfit" per season, so I have something to wear that actually fits and is in style should I have someplace to wear it. I'm am now working on some knitting to accentuate it -- will post when complete.

That's about it. Starting to think "fall". Closing the camper, changing gears, redecorating, etc....

Chat soon

My life returns

So what does one do once their children go back to school, and they are recovered from sleep deprivation?

Shop!!!

Off to the mall with Mom.

We have decided to stay home this weekend as there are sooo many things to catch up on (laundry and house cleaning top the bill). I think its the first weekend that I've been off and home since May.

Lets see how much I can get my act together.

Excuse me I'm doing my happy dance....

YIPEE

Oh yeah, the post.

Kids went back to school today (more dancing).

This might sound really awful, and I actually love having the extra time with my children, but we ALL need the structure that school gives us! (and I need to be able to clean without someone going immediately behind me messing it up!)

I wish there was year round school with breaks every 10 weeks so I could add more quality to the time with my children. 11 weeks off is hard to fill and keep them busy. But alas that is what we have. Added a few more lessons to put in place next year. Hopefully it will be better.

My baby starts middle school this year. WOW, no more elementary! Lissa is a Sophomore. That is really hitting me. She'll be graduating in 2 years. OH MY!!! OHHHH MY!! I'm not ready for this, I need to go lie down :)

Later

Hello

Yes I owe you all a post.

I think summer... i.e., life is finally catching up with me. I am so frigging exhausted I have been dragging myself around the last 4/5 days.

I am so looking forward to waving the kids off to school so I can just sleep without guilt.

Nothing new on the job front.

Happy Labor Day Weekend All :)

P.S. cute kitty pic - this is Panther -- one of four fuzzy residents in my zoo.

New Job?????

We'll see.

OB had a posting again so I put in for it.

The ER is currently the pits. And while no job is perfect, crying on your way to work is usually a signal that something has to change. So.... we'll see.

God's will be done!

Finally,

Were off to Band Camp tomorrow - and I am really looking forward to it. Plan on a couple of yarn shop stops on the way, have packed plenty of projects (I hope). I figure I have roughly 30+ hours of knitting time this next week (YIPPEE).

I had promised some pics, sorry it took so long.....

This is the shrug that I ran out of yarn for and added some linen to the sleeves.

I expect it will look better in the winter with long sleeves than it does now.

I had mentioned that I was working on the backyard earlier in July. This is the area that I did. We laid black landscaping paper over the grass and than the mulch. In the far corner I have Iris' planted... to the far left are Brown-Eyed Susan's and where the chair is Vinca Vine.

Will post more when we return

Happy Days,

K
