Dayflower Mini-KAL

I just found a mini-KAL on this blog for the Dayflower scaf.   This will be even more motivation for me to get this thing done!!  I’ve become a bit frustrated with having to frog back to the lifeline and start over again.  So hopefully I’ll read what others are going through, get/give advice and get this done.  Gift knitting is so much fun!  I hope everybody like everything I’m knitting for them and doesn’t just look at me like I’m crazy or something

Last night I got so fed up that I put it away and swatched for the Rambling Leaves shawl.  Love the Peruvian Baby Silk for Elann.com.  I hope I do the shawl justice.

TJ and Jake are up north until tomorrow night, so I’m going to try to finish Harry Potter while I have the peace and quiet of a quiet house.  Only 300 pages to go and still LOVING it!!!

The Fall of the House of Dwire

Jacob is sick. My poor little guy hasn’t really been sick much at all in his life, so he has no clue what’s going on. The few times he’s been sick it’s been mostly stomach related, so he knows about throwing up. This is the first time he’s really had a stuffed up nose and cough; he did have a stuffed up nose/cough once when he was about 5 months old, but he clearly doesn’t remember that. He doesn’t get that he can’t use his foo-foo (pacifier) when he can’t breathe through his nose; it just doesn’t work.

TJ is finally starting to feel a little better after his week on antibiotics.  I feel like I might be starting to get sick, too.  We’re falling apart here in Kalamazoo…LOL

Last night he woke up over and over again, crying and moaning b/c he thought he had something in his nose.  Of course there wasn’t much I could do about it.  We got him some PediaCare today and that seems to be helping him to some extent.  He’s sleeping now, if somewhat restlessly.  I hope he’s feeling better soon; it just breaks my heart to see him desperately trying to pick whatever it is that’s keeping his nose plugged, when there is nothing there for him to pick.

On the knitting front, I’m making good progress with the scarf for my swap partner.  I had to rip it back to fix stitches that were wrong.  It was scary to purposely rip back those stitches being that it’s lace I’m working with.  I managed to pull those stitches back (it turned out to be four stitches; two on each side; in total) and turn them around and then work the stitches back up to the top.  Kind of a new skill for me.  I contemplated just frogging the whole thing and starting over, but I’m into the second repeat (not far for most, but this is my first lace project) and I don’t want to start over.  I’ve discovered something interesting about my taste in needles from this.  I’ve always thought I hated the “old fashioned” aluminum needles.  I mostly use bamboo or my Denise Interchangeable set.  In this case, though, the bamboo needles were annoying so I ripped it out and I started over with the old needles.  I love them!!  I love the noise they make when I knit, I love the feel of them in my hands – much more substantial, I also love the way the yarn slides on the needles.  I think I need to get me a set of Knit Picks Options to replace or at least to go with my Denise set.  Unfortunately, I have a very small store of aluminum needles; I gave them away when I got my first bamboo set. I’m going to have to replace them now…:)

Holy Sleep Apnea Batman…

Okay, so I have a solution for my sleep apnea; yay!!  The machine that’s going to “fix” me is $6000.00; gasp.   We have pretty good insurance ; yay.  We have a 15% co-pay; OMG we have to  pay $1,100.00 dollars to make my life worth living again.  Happy Friday to me.

What a great way to start the day.  It’s really good news overall, of course.  It could be much worse than just having to pay an ungodly amount of money for a machine to remind me to breathe at night.  I was really half afraid that they were going to call and tell me I needed another test and that the ASV machine didn’t work for me either.  So I’m looking at the bright side.  This means, of course, tightening up the old belts for awhile.  Looks like I’m not going to be getting that spinning wheel for my birthday this year.  I’m also guessing there will be no Allegan Fiber Festival for me.  Sigh…  I’m not complaining, don’t get me wrong, I’m more than happy to give things up so that Jake and TJ don’t have to suffer b/c of the extra cost; I’m the one with the problem here.  So I’m going to allow myself like 10 minutes to bum out about the lost fiber acquisitions and then be grateful that there is a fairly simple solution for what’s wrong with me.   Restful sleep, here I come…

New skills and a bag of “sticks”

I love the feeling of learning something new and actually “getting it”.  I’ve played with the idea of  2 circs for doing small circular pieces rather than using dpn’s in the past, and I’ve even managed, while reading directions step by step to actually eek out a small tube.  This time, though, something just clicked for me.  I used this site, both times actually, and I don’t know what was different now, maybe I just have a lot more experience now or something, but  it just made sense to me.  I knit a small (6 rounds or so) tube to make sure I had it down, bound off and voila! a tube.  There was a little bit of laddering at one of the seams (the beginning edge) but not too bad and the other seam was invisible.  I don’t hate dpn’s, I actually kind of like them, but not for socks.  I’m still so unsure about socks.

I was planning to take a sock knitting class at my LYS, so I haven’t been playing with socks at all.  I decided that I wanted to learn with no preconceived ideas so that I would learn correctly.  Plans change though.  I got a call from Threadbare, LYS in Lansing, that the classes with Annie Modesitt I wanted to take had spaces opened up.  Can we all say SQUEE?!?!?  So I’m dropping the sock class to take the combination knitting and color work classes with Annie.  She is so my knitting hero (one of them anyway); the only thing I can think of that would compare would be a class with Stephanie Pearl-McPhee or Vickie Howell.  I’m still hopeful about those possibilities one day as well.    The classes are next weekend and I just can’t wait to meet her.

Honestly, though, the 2 circ method won’t be doing me any good anytime soon.  I have have have to get the X-mas knitting done.  Patterns have been chosen (haven’t I said this before?) for sure; TJ sat down with me with the yarn choices I have and the pattern book and helped me pick and write down who was getting what with what yarn.  I still have to buy the yarn for one of the choices though; Threadbare here I come…LOL  I’m not going to name names re: who’s getting what, not that any of the recipients would look up the patterns, they’re not like that, but still… One of the giftees is getting the Trellis and Vine shawl/wide scarf in ?? (this is the one I’m not sure of the yarn yet) and the Falling Water scarf in Peruvian Baby Silk.   The other recipient is getting the Rambling Leaves Shawl, also in Baby Silk and the Branching Out scarf; I don’t have a yarn chosen for this yet either.   There are other gifts that I’ll be making but those are the big ones.  As soon as I’ve got that stuff done, though, I’m going to be all about the socks on circs and the Magic Loop method of knitting.

I’m so far behind on my email (talk about no segue way at all).  I’ve stayed away from anything and everything not completely related to knitting on line since the new Harry Potter book came out.  I’m not taking any chances at all on being spoiled with any aspect of this book.  I really hope nothing hugely important is there.  I’m around 300 pages in and I’m LOVING this book. I’m just so sad that I’m going to be done with the series after this.  SOB!!!  I want to read like 10 pages a day so that it will last longer but it’s much too good for that.  The 300 pages is 2 days of reading.  I have the feeling I’ve got about a day and half left. 

The bag of sticks is all about the dum-dum suckers.  Jacob is in love with them since he was given one at the bank.  He calls them sticks and he’s asking for them all the time.  The look of joy on his face when he gets one and discovers that it’s a flavor he hasn’t had before is worth the sugar rush he gets and the ensuing running about like a mad man.  It’s always so great to see joy spread slowly over that handsome little face.

I want to learn to spin…

So I met this cool chick who happens to have the same name as me on Ravelry which is cool in and of itself, but she also lives right here in the Kazoo area, has a knitting group for me to go to AND she makes and sells the most beautiful spindles.  She sells them through her esty shop ; if you’re looking to buy a gorgeous top whorl spindle for yourself or someone you love, you really have to check it out.  The workmanship is great, the designs are AMAZING and she doesn’t sell anything that she wouldn’t use herself or give to one of her kids or friends.  A great little indie shop.  Okay, enough shameless plugging for new friends…LOL

All of my knitting the last few days has been centered around my scarf swap partner.  I don’t want to say too much b/c I’m not sure if she reads this or not; I’m really not sure that anybody reads this, LOL, but I post away anyway.  Hopefully I’ll build up some links on other blogs and some readers.  Or not.  Either way is okay, I write b/c I love to.  I had a scarf that I designed myself for her, but that didn’t work too well, so I went back to the drawing board and decided to use some of the gorgeous yarns I bought originally for sock knitting, but didn’t use for it.  It’s fingering weight, which lends itself to lace knitting pretty well, so that’s what I’m going to do.  I’m actually doing two scarves, one for spring/summer/fall (the lace one)  and one for winter with a silk/alpaca blend that’s doubled.  Both are fairly simple, but pretty patterns and I’m going to add some extras for her as well.  This is my first swap and I don’t want to do too little, I’d much rather give too much.  I really like the idea of swaps.  I get to make something for somebody who will truly appreciate it and I get something that someone else made with their own two hands, for me.  I want so badly to make what I make perfect and I feel somewhat inadequate, but I’ll get over it.  Nothing is perfect and I’m not a bad knitter, just an insecure one.

TJ is sick today.  I hate when he is sick, it makes me feel so helpless.  He’s the one that’s always got it together in this house, I’m the one with the problems (sleep apnea that’s pretty much debilitating, the back problems when Jacob was a baby, the pneumonia I’ve had three times in the last three years etc.), TJ is the strong one.  I try really hard when he is sick to take good care of him and he says that I do.  That makes me feel really good.  He does so much for this family and I feel like taking care of Jacob and the house isn’t enough; I never feel like I’m pulling my weight, especially now that I’m bone weary  all the time.

Speaking of the sleep apnea from hell…it’s getting more and more annoying everyday.  I think I was honestly better off before I knew about it.  Sure, I felt lazy as hell and useless (I think I have serious self-esteem issues) but I didn’t realize why I was tired and I blew it off as laziness.  Now that I know, it seems like it’s even harder for me to fight.  The last two days Jake and I have spent most of the day indoors while I slept on and off, mostly sitting up and really making my neck ache.  I’m afraid to spend too much time outside with him b/c I have the pool out there and I fall asleep without realizing I’m even tired until I wake up twenty minutes or so later.  So I wait, not so patiently, for them to call from the sleep clinic and let me know if the ASV test worked.  If so, I should have my machine in a week’s time or less and be feeling 100% better in no time.  I have so many plans for what I’m going to do to make this time up to Jacob when I’m better.  We don’t leave the house much b/c it’s been suggested that until I have treatment I only drive when necessary.  So I’m stuck in the house.  At least we have a video store really close by and we can pick up movies.  he’s just starting to like non-animated stuff. Bedknobs and Broomsticks is his favorite movie right now, and I don’t mind it at all.  It’s a cute little movie.  I’ve been trying to get him to watch Mary Poppins, but he’s shown very little interest.  I’m going to rent it next week and just play it for him; I think he’ll really like it.  Any of the Beethoven movies he also really likes.  After watching one, he goes around the house yelling for Beethoven like we own the dog. It’s too cute.  He’s also been really sweet about TJ being sick. Every time TJ coughs or sneezes, Jake runs to him and asks him if he’s okay.  LOVE IT!  He’s also been really sweet to me.  He’s been randomly coming up to me and kissing my hand or my arm or my leg and telling me, “I love you, Mommy”.  It makes my day so much brighter.  Right now I’m ready to kill him, of course, b/c he refuses to go to sleep and he’s doing things seemingly to annoy me or get a reaction anyway.  I just want a little time for myself after being tired and cooped up all day.  I know it’s not PC or even “good parenting” to say this, but sometimes I get so sick of him.  Don’t get me wrong, I adore him, but there are days when it just feels like he’s testing every limit I have.  I think I’m coming down with what TJ has, I’m headachey and I’m much less even tempered than I’ve been lately.  This sucks.  So I’m going to take my vitamin C, and eat well (yeah, that’s me…NOT) and try to get some decent sleep and hope that it passes over me.  I just can’t afford to be sick and then have Jake (who is already coughing a little) get sick as well.  Ask anyone who knows me in person, I’m not good at being sick, not good at it at all.

I’m off to play in Ravelry for awhile and then knit a bit and read some more of Harry Potter 7 (which I could go on about for days and I’ve only read the first 100 pages.) and try to sleep.  Night y’all.

Shawls, Shawls, Shawls…ARGH

I’m starting to hate shawls and I haven’t even knit my first one yet.  LOL  I’ve changed my mind about what shawls I want to knit for X-mas over and over again.    This is driving me nuts.  I want to gauge and cast on the first one but I’ve printed about 8 different shawls and keep changing my mind.  Right now I’m leaning towards Kiri in Super Kydd and Sunray Shawl in Baby Silk.  I just love Elann yarn, it seems.  I’ve also got Calista and Camila yarns in a enough quantity to make shawls as well; they were for the Luna Moth Shawl and the Flower Petal Shawl.  ARGH!!  I just have to get this decided.  Just pick something Shannon, just pick something.  I’m am the least decisive  person you’ll ever meet; even after I finally make a decision, I second guess it forever.  I wouldn’t be surprised at all if I cast on for one and change my mind and cast on another and before you know it, I’ll have 6 different shawls cast on and I won’t get anything done at all.  No, I’m going to do the Kiri shawl b/c I REALLY like the Super Kydd, I know who I’m going to give it to also, I think she’ll really dig the mohair and its delicateness.  The other shawl, I’m still a little unsure of.  I really like Forest Canopy, but I really am kind of leaning towards Sunray.

Well, I’m off to print out the Sunray Shawl and it’s Charts and obsess about what to knit for a holiday that’s still five months away.  I also have the scarf that I have to make for my swap partner.  I know what I’m doing there, believe it or not.  It was actually fairly easy to decide and I designed that myself, which you would think would be more difficult for me since there are so many stitch patterns to play with.  Maybe I should just cast that on and go from there, leave the decision making for later since this project has to be done first.  I just don’t know…decisions, decisions, decisions.

Night y’all.

With Practice Comes Understanding…and Blog News for Lake City Knits

First the blog news. I’m not sure that this combined blog thing is working. I think I’m going to reanimate Lake City Mommy, but change the name to Kalamazoo Mommy and use that as my personal blog and keep KMK as my knitting blog. So look for the link to the new “Mommy Blog” here in the next day or so. That way people who want to read about my life (friends/family etc) aren’t forced to slog through my knit-talk (though I can’t understand why anybody wouldn’t want to read knit-talk…LOL) and the people who want to read about knitting only, don’t get bogged down in my personal stuff. Of course I strongly encourage everyone to read both as there will definitely be overlap between and b/c I’m just cool like that…tee hee.

As for the other part of the title.  I was just watching Knitty Gritty and it was the Annie Modesitt Combo Corset T episode.  I’ve seen this episode about three times and the first two were very early in my knitting career.  It has always  intrigued me as a project, but frankly sounded like gibberish to me.  I didn’t understand any of the concepts and watching I thought to myself that this was something I’d never be able to do.  Watching it today, though, it all made sense to me.  I was watching and I realized that the concepts were ones that I understand well now and I’m definitely adding it to my list of projects to cast on.  I have some gorgeous silk that I bought over a year ago in the vain hope that I’d be able to make this one day and now that day is here.  I don’t have the time to work on it right now, but I plan to start it as soon as I get the Christmas knitting out of the way, or at least well under way.  I have enough silk (two different colors) to make two of these and I have someone in mind for a gift of one for X-mas.  I think she will really appreciate it and get wear out of it.  So I get to work on it and not blow off X-mas knitting.  Yay me!!

I’m having trouble figuring out how to deal with the Magic Loop issue.  I really want to start using this method so I can finish my felted bowls (which are on a holder b/c I didn’t have the right size DPN) but I don’t think I have good needles for it.  I know the Denise needles are not a good choice b/c the cable is too think for anything but bulky yarns, I have some cheap internet circulars that come in nice long sizes, but the cables are cheap and sucky and they tend to kink and flatten in the position I bend them into.  I have a decent collection of Clover circs. that are 36″ and I’m wondering if those aren’t a better choice.  I’m really looking for suggestions re: what kind of needles (or kit) are good/great for the ML technique?  Thanks.

Watching the Knitty Gritty episode also reawakened my desire to crochet.  I haven’t done that in over a year and I want to find a patern that I can work on that’s simple and easy to put down whenever I need to.  I’ve never really done much more than a blanket with crochet – sadly, never really thought of it as useful for anything else.  I have some patterns, though, from a crochet magazine that I’m going to look through and then search the web a bit for something fun to do.

I have designed my first thing.  Nothing big, but I’m still proud.  I’m involved in a scarf swap (my first swap, how fun!!!) and I was pouring over patterns for my swap pal, Melinda (who’s a pretty cool chick, btw) and I just couldn’t find anything that I liked, or if I did like it, it didn’t go with the yarns I want to use for her (I’m going for feminine, decadent and a little bit fun and funky).  So I’ve come up with a design using some stitch pattern books and I’m getting started on it tonight.  Wish me luck.

Home Alone Wednesday

Tj and Jake have left to go up north for the weekend.  My Sleep Apnea is making it too difficult for me to do much up there to be useful and with my mother-in-law up there things are even more crazy than usual.  There is much work to be done and Jacob will be running around like crazy and I just don’t have the energy right now to  chase him which becomes a dangerous situation.  Between my insomnia and my lack of any real sleep when I do finally fall asleep, I just can’t handle being up there.  I’m bummed to be home alone (again), which I used to just love, but I keep telling myself that as soon as they find the right machine to fix this, life will be a whole lot better.  I’ve heard so many stories about people who get on the machines for the apnea and their lives change so dramatically:  so much more energy than before, so much more drive, just a better quality of life.  That’s what I want.  Went to Dr. M yesterday.  somehow, I’ve gained 10 lbs. in the last month…how the f*&k did that happen?!?!  Other than that, I’m doing well.  Blood pressure is good, back is doing well etc.  We’re getting ready to start weaning off the pain meds, which I’ve wanted to do for the last 6 months or so.  If I can get this apnea under control, I could have a “normal” life again.

I’m making progress on Fifi, but I’ve made some small mistakes that I’ve chosen to leave alone.  I added an extra straight knitting round when it should have been a staggered cable row.  I had put a lifeline in the knitted row, though, so I didn’t want to TINK it and i just left it.  I hope it doesn’t cause too much of a problem in the long run.

The patterns for the X-mas shawls have changed and are settled.  One of them will be the Forest Canopy Shawl done in elann.com Peruvian cashmere and the other is the Rambling Leaves Shawl which I’ll be doing in elann.com Peruvian Baby Silk.  I hope that they are loved, b/c I’m putting love into making them.  I think I might have to put Fifi aside for a little while (a few days) and swatch these two shawls  to make sure that the yarn will work, which it should since the patterns were recommended with the yarn.  I’m so excited about working on these shawls.  I’m nervous about it at the same time, though.  I’ve never really knit any lace before and I want to get this right.  I also have my scarf swap buddy to knit for but I’m not sure what to knit for her.  I guess I’ll have to email her again and see if she’ll get more specific with me re: her likes/dislikes.  I’m thinking of doing something with the alpaca/silk or maybe the left over hana silk, but it’s SO pink and I don’t know if she’d like that.  Maybe I’ll do something with the wool that I got from Uruguay (did I spell that right?) or maybe one of my Louisa Harding yarns.  The Impressions and the Kimono Angora are both beautiful.  I’m thinking maybe a simple lace pattern to get some practice, since I’ve been downloading and saving tons of scarf patterns for X-mas presents for the ‘fringe’ people in the family.  For Mom I’m thinking of adding a few decorative felted boxes/baskets/bowls for the house.  That seems like something that she’d like, I hope.  My mother, OTOH, I’m still at a total loss about.

We’re talking again, btw.  That makes me so happy!!!  I didn’t think it would matter so much; I thought that I was so angry about the whole thing that I didn’t give a crap, but clearly the mother/daughter bond is a lot stronger than I thought it was.  That makes me happy.  I’ve spent so much time feeling estranged from my parents and Dad is gone so there’s nothing I can do about that, but Mom is still here and I want to make the most of that.   Since having Jacob I realize just how important family is.  I’ve really enjoyed having good talks with my Aunt Marian the last few days.  I feel really close to her now.  I miss being close with the rest of the family.  I have so much fun when I’m in CA visiting.  I think I’d go crazy with it all the time, but two weeks to a month is like being in the heart of something great; something that I can connect to.  I want Jake to have those kinds of connections.  I want him to have the childhood that I didn’t b/c my mother had to work so hard to keep everything going.  She had so much put on her shoulders, so much responsibility, that it wasn’t easy for her to find time to do the “fun mom stuff”.  I’m determined to make that kind of time for Jacob; I want him to have great memories of his childhood.  that’s not to say that I don’t; I was a very much loved child and I never wondered if I was loved…well, with my dad…but that’s a different story and we worked through that before he died.  I think that I’m so obsessed with the concept of “normal” family b/c my upbringing was a bit unconventional.  The problem with this is that I have no idea what “normal family” means and I think I may be striving for a concept rather than something real.

I’m off to waste a few hours on Ravelry (I’m so addicted to it, it’s not even funny) and then I’ll probably swatch the Forest Canopy shawl after printing out the pattern and reading it over like 5 times.  I’m obsessive like that.  I have learned, through Fifi, that lifeline is the key word in any kind of knitting that involves something big with a stitch pattern (lace, cables etc.) that are hard to rip back and get back on the needles decently.  I feel kind of like I’m copping out on Fifi by putting it aside, especially b/c it’s a knit-along, but if I don’t get the shawls done, I’m right and truly screwed.  Kalamazoo Mommy, I hear you saying, it’s not even August, X-mas is still 5 months away.  Good point, but if you know me, I’m not the quickest knitter and this is all new skills, so better safe than late.  Can you just see me coming to X-mas dinner and saying, “sorry I’m going to have to give you your gifts at a later time and date as they aren’t done yet.” Yeah, I don’t think that would go over too well.

Night Y’all!!

Sleep Study #3

It feels like this is all I do lately.  I had my third and, hopefully, final sleep study last night.  They called me yesterday afternoon and told me that the CPAP wasn’t going to work b/c I have “complex sleep apnea”, how like me is it to have something  “complex” about even sleep apnea?  So, with CSA, you have both obstructive and central sleep apnea and while the CPAP is great for obstructive, it complicates central.  So I had to have a different type of machine last night, this one is a “smart machine”.  It’s called ASV and I can’t remember what it stands for, but it keeps track of my breathing and adjusts based on what I need, basically breathing for me when I stop.  I’m not sure how well it will work, though, b/c the bed hurt my back something fierce (too firm) and so I woke up a bit in pain.  I’m hoping when they call me next week, though, that they will have good news for me.  I was at the sleep study center instead of the hotel, and it was actually really nice.  The tech rocked and fo rthe first time I wasn’t put to sleep at 10 pm.  She let me stay up as late as I wanted (11:30).  Not a bad experience all in all.

I got quite a bit of work done on Fifi last night.  I’m finished row 15 and everything is looking good.  I had to readjust a few things and move a few markers around, but it all seems to have worked out without screwing up the pattern.  I’m really enjoying this knit.  I was hopoing to work on the RCC right after this, but I’m afraid that if I don’t have the time.  If I don’t start the X-mas knitting by mid-August (say my birthday, the 16th), I won’t have them done in time.  So it’s to be X-mas knitting for the rest of summer and all of Fall.  I’ll have to stop looking at new patterns for awhile, or I’ll end up with a queue longer than I can ever finish…LOL

Magic Loop, I love you!!

Is that weird?  To love a knitting technique.  I don’t think so.  It’s something that I’ve been thinking about trying for awhile, but I’ve been afraid to.  I haven’t mastered the 2 circs. technique, and I thought that it would make Magic Loop even harder for me to do.  Not so bad, though.  I didn’t do a great job with it, of course, but it didn’t bite me in the ass, either.  there is something magical about it, too.  It’s a little complicated to remember which thing to pull and which to use, but I know I’ll get the hang of it.  I have a felted bowl that’s been on hold forever b/c I didn’t have the right size DPN for the project, but now that I can use the ML technique, I can finally finish and felt it.  I’m especially happy b/c i also have patterns for felted baskets and bowls and I know they all will need small circumference knitting and while I don’t mind the dpn’s, I’d rather avoid them when possible.  I can’t seem to eliminate the ladders no matter how hard I try.  I think, thanks to Ravelry’s groups and the Magic Loop group in particular, I’ve given in and am ready to give up the DPN’s and the straights and use only my circulars.  They are much easier to wrangle and they don’t get lost as easily and as much as I love my bamboo straights, they are all a bit warped at this point.  Besides, there’s a kit out there with bamboo circulars; I already have plastic (Denise Interchangeable)   and metal (Boye Needlemaster) and I’m about to order the Options set which is nickle plated.  I have every set available…LOL

Fifi is back on track.  I’m about to start the increases again.  It’s taken forever and a lot of heartache to get this far, but I’m confident that it will go well now.  We’ll see, I guess.

Still no word from the medical supply people.  I WANT MY CPAP NOW!!! I’m so fucking tired all the time, it’s killing me.  I sleep far too much and never feel rested at all.  ARGH.  This can’t happen soon enough for me.

On a funny note, today I was sitting on the bed, Raveling (is that the right term?) and Jacob looks at me and says “You stay right here, I be right back,” he goes to the door, opens it, looks back at me and says “Now you behave”.  He had the sternest look on his face when he said that; he was mimicing me telling him that when I leave him alone in the bedroom for a few minutes.  If only only could have seen his face, it was so serious. LOL

Night Y’all
