School's Back in Session

OK, the kids are back in school! (YEAH!) This is a good thing. They both love their new teachers. This is a great thing. I think the student-teacher relationship is half the battle to get kids to learn and behave well in class.

One of these mornings my DD is going to learn the hard way, that I leave at 7:30 a.m. No delays. And she is going to learn that it's not so much fun to go to school in her p.j.'s.

Getting used to the new schedule is still hard. There seems to be so much less time for everything. Monday is PTA (once a month), Tuesdays is counseling, Wednesdays is knitting group, Thursday is open (until Survivor, CSI and ER start back up), Friday I would like to take the kids skating, and then Saturday and Sunday are for laundry, homework, fun, cleaning and cooking, shopping and all the rest of the wonderful things that don't get done during the week. Throw in some swimming lessons, and you've got one heck of a busy time.

Knitting is going well. I am on Ravelry and can't believe the expansiveness of it all. I am knitting 3 projects right now. 2 socks for Socks for Soldiers and one top. I need to focus on the socks, then kick the top out. It shouldn't take too long for the top, the back is done and the front is about 1/3 done. no sleeves, and a quick crochet border along the edges. Way simple!

Well, I'll try to get another post sooner than the last one. (We'll see how well I do. LOL)
