There it goes again!!

So I have lost another 7 days !!
life is just such a motorway..
full on in 1 direction, with no deviations in between!!
Work has been hectic,
life has been hectic
junior is causing some concern
may have to take a right turn down the diagnosis road
serious concerns that his Asperger tendencies are becoming more pronounced, so like his cousins!!
Hubby and I have some real work to do here I think...
Its strange I know what to do and have no hesitation in doing it in a work environment, but when it comes to your own ,different story!!
I suppose at work there is no emotion involved, but with junior, there is obviously is..
I have I think been impersonating an emu..

so head out of sand time
going to look at some social stories for him and go speak to the ed' psych' and see what they have to offer, but going on past performance, its not going to be much...

on the fibre front..
have managed a little spinning, and have had a real bad case of startitis on the knitting front...
trouble is sorted my stash and those wonderful yarns are calling me...
Christmas gift knitting?
hah.. not going to happen me thinks....
and anyway
why would I want to give them my glorious yarns!!

And relax................

Blimey, it sure is tiring being a middle aged mother of 2 energetic sons.....
I thought this was meant to be a holiday?
Im not complaining, I love my sons dearly, they are just so tiring!!
Not in them selves, but keeping them seperated so they are not fighting all the blooming time!!
No 1 son is definately going into his 'kevin' stage!!
conversation is starting to reflect a variety of grunts & groans...
junior just becomes more eccentric by the day...hes like my little proffessor!!
I seem to spend my days rushing here there and everywhere but at the end of the day have achieved very little...

so all the great plans I had for this week have gone out of the window, its pointless and to be honset I get very little time to spend with the boys.
Fibre fun has been minimal but have a whole day to look forward to tomorrow...
I finally got my last tattoo coloured, its only taken me 2 years to get around to that..
met my new great neice yesterday for the first time, she is soo cute....
and you know what that means dont you?

PINK KNITTING...................................

yeah for a girly!!!!!!!

All the best plans

can go astray!!


so yesterday was day 3 of my break, and the plan was to hit the bookcase in the back room. As a family we tend to see shelves as a dumping ground!!


However no 1 son had gone to his friends for a sleep over on Sunday night. Junior and i were snugged up having a lie yesterday morning when the phone goes at 7.50ma. It was no 1 son in a state. He felt sick so wanted to come home. A quick dress and out we went. He was very teary when we picked him up, not normal!! and said he had an illusion!!


On deeper questioning it turns out he thought he had been hallucinating!! Not that strange as a while back junior was ill and had a raging temperature, and during this he started to hallucinate badly, it was very scary and we had to take him to the hospital. Add that with the start of most haunteds Halloween special and we have a scared boy in a strange bed in the middle of the night!!


He was sick however, so spent a while on the sofa before we headed out to a dear friends for lunch. This working life of mine, hampers my friendships as weekends are taken up with the house and the boys, and the occasional foray to GKs knit n natter.


so no additional tasks were done, Not that I worry housework certainly is no friend of mine!!

When we got home no 1 son pooped again and ended up on sofa with hot water bottle, blanky and some medicine. So made a late supper for us when hubby got in and then proceeded to spend the evening knitting...JOY.


was in a 'not sure what to knit mood', think sorting out my cupboard scared me, too organised and could see all my WIPs. So hit the small wip basket and pulled out juniors baktus scarf and managed to finish that... nice feeling completing something! all I need now is to wash n block!!



Then Shona wasn't wanting to come out to play so did some on my limesicle socks after the rest of the family went to bed at 10pm!! stayed up till midnight watching most haunted, sad I know, but these things interest me, and have a friend who has been there when they film and she assures me its not staged!! A little night cap of a whisky and I was fit to go. Wasn't in the least tired but made myself go to bed....





so today's another day, were off now to go charity shop shopping for Halloween outfits and something to use for blocking projects, hit the music store for some guitar strings and a guitar case, will swing by mums grave and do some tidying up and lay some flowers,then home to prepare the log fire for tonight's knit fest. I do so love being a stay at home mom!!!
