Apparently I have them, and apparently they would appreciate me updating my pathetic, way overlooked and forgotten little blog. Thanks for letting me know you care! :)I have not fallen off the face of the Earth. I have not lost use of my hands. I have not gone off the grid.I have been knitting. I have been taking loads of photos, both of crafts as well as the kids sporting events. I have

No, not a pain *in* the behind...I really need to update this thing on a more regular basis. I am so tired of trying to play catch-up. I did however finally change the colors to something a little more spring like, instead of the wintery cool blues color scheme. Hey, it's a start! More to come, including photos of FO's!

It is mid February and so far we have had 4 snow days. At this rate, the kids will be in school well into June like last year. I do enjoy snow days, probably as much as my kids do! Sometimes we go sledding and other days we stay holed up inside the house watching movies, staying warm and consuming way too much hot chocolate. Lately, with the high school softball and middle school baseball

Another year put in the ground and another year older! 2009; I sure am glad to see you go.Granted, I have endured rougher years than 09; however it just gets old having to face shitstorm after shitstorm. One of the best things to happen in 09, was Rambo coming home safe and sound from yet another deployment. I never get tired of being thankful for that!As far as birthdays go; ever since I was

Clearly, I have fallen behind on my blog updates! These months that Rambo was deployed have been filled with insanity, softball, baseball, home disasters and so much more. I am sure I have more than likely blocked alot out, as a self defensive mechanism. :) That's my story, and I am sticking to it!Happily, Rambo is home safe and sound. Perhaps another deployment in a couple years, that seems

It's mid July. I am not a summer person, not by a long shot. I hate how hot and humid it is before 10 am. It is so hot, which makes it no fun for me to outside in that weather. Which also makes it no fun for any poor soul who happens to be with me or within ear shot of my incessant bitching of "how damn hot it is out here". In the evening, a human could easily be eaten alive by the bugs.

WOW! Like 2 months since last entry, can ya tell I haven't had time lately?!It's been crazy around here. Baseball 2 teams going for a bit along with practices for Boy Wonder, add to that Teen Queen and her high school team. Playing and practicing for Freshman, Jv and Varsity! Many nights I could be seen zipping along quietly in my hybrid car across town...speeding from one park to the other

Yes, I said it! As much as I like winter, I am ready for it to be gone. Especially after all the storms we have had. Jan 27th brought snow, and lots of it...then it also brought ICE. I could have done without the ice. Even though it sure was pretty to look at.The snow storm came and brought with it an ice storm. Which left a couple inches of ice on everything! Needless to say the trees and

First off..... one wordOBAMA!I was thrilled during elections, but the Inauguration....amazing! With it being such a significant historical inauguration, I had my kids stay home to watch it in it's entirety. The teachers flat out told them they would not be watching it. I would have assumed it would have been streamed throughout the schools...what do I know!? Granted we live in a red state,

Puttering about in the kitchen, making home baked and home cooked goodness. Very comforting to me. While I do not wear my high heels and pearls while cooking, aprons are quite useful! I have

No, it's not knitting. Although I have been doing plenty of that. I am *so* close to completing my first pair of SFS. I have also been working on the Mystery Beret from Woolly Wormhead at Rav.While I was perusing my usual blog haunts ... I came across THIS! Wholly Cow!!! It would be super great to win this computer.

This past year I have become a Mystery Shawl addict, I am well aware of it, and it is no secret that I have a love of lace. However, I have soooo many of these KALs saved to my computer. Simply due to the fact there are not enough knitting hours in my day for lace knitting. With all the kid corralling I do, I need portable knitting. Lace is not very portable. I have many mystery lace

There are a lot of charitable organizations out there. All clamoring for your money. All wanting in on your cash. Even though you can't give to all, perhaps choose just one. With the US economy as it is now, gas and food are probably taking up all your extra money.If you’re interested, go to girleffect.org and click on “Do something”. Change the course of history... CHANGE THE WORLD!

Yes, there I was watching CNN as Ike barreled his way toward the gulf coast.  This was Sept 10-12.  Sunday the 14th he whooped up on KY and IN for a while.  No one expected that so much damage would have been caused so far inland.  Sure some winds... but 60-70 MPH gusts all damn day?  Debris flew for HOURS.  Trees snapped, others were uprooted, some just had the tops bust off, branches and downed

The kids have been in school since August 12th. It has been sheer craziness getting the supplies, clothes, orientations all organized and taken care of. Both Teen Queen and Boy Wonder are LOVING school this year.  Sure, the 'honeymoon' phase is to be expected the first few days of school.  Last year it did not even last a week.  This year, we are heading into our 3rd week and they are still over
