Meaningless rantings of a cabin fevered Mom.

My new project. An online one, I am crocheting this afghan along with a bunch of other women across the country and a couple in other countries, isn't that a cool idea? Mine is being done in soft yummy yarn in warm yummy fall colors. I uploaded some pics for the flikr group that goes along with the blog. It's much more fun to have other people to do it with, keeps you on your toes, makes you wanna get it done!

There are days that i wonder where my babies went, Grant puts his shoes on, Sammy picks her clothes out, they swim and talk, and chit and chat and squeal with glee about school, and i wonder WHEN did they get so big? Maybe i really am coming out of the "baby stage" And how sad, but how fun, how cool to think about the fun we can have as they get older ...... Then, days like today ,..... and i wonder, what woman in her right intelligent mind CHOOSES this crazy hairy, insanity inducing, bi-polar producing, madness soaked, dirty, nasty, smelly job??? and WHY on God's Green Earth would i EVER want to start all over?!?!! I'm quite sure you have no clue what i mean. ROFL Today was planned well, executed differently, and almost survived with no casualties, so far. :) I woke u p, late, cranky from no sleep, and early awakening from the ball of energy that sleeps and bounces across the hall from me. I walk down the hall, avoiding him, so i don't say something mean and...

Yes yes we are buried! And even more so since Mike broke his second shovel SCHEEEECH! BUT, the snow and ice make for a lovely lazt sunday when we can decorate the tree, eat cookies, and crochet. Aren't they cute!? They may find thier way into stockings or gifts bags, depending on how many i can crank out in a week, along with Sewing PJ's and baking cookie *lol* im tired!

Uhoh! Looks like SOMEONE is getting on the naughty list this year! Heehee Yuh, so i found something new and fun to make with yarn, and oh my goodness im having SO MUCH fun with it :) Life here has been pretty busy. We have been gearing up for Christmas, looking into a possible relocation (more on THAT later) and trying to keep up with everything else. I have been rehearsing for a drama on Sunday, with My dad as my Dad and my brother as my hubby EWW! I do have to say though, having half of the cast being of Atkins' origin, it certainly adds alot of joviality to the skit! **is that a word?** my spell checker didn't hit it heehee Mike is loving his job, we have lots of lovely snow, Grant can finally walk up and down the sledding hill, (aka our front walk) himself, and so gets to go play outside alone, which he loves. He is doing very well in Pre-school, loving the learning, and meeting new friends. So thats a very short overview of life here, i gotta go clean off the counter so ...
