That's how I feel right now. I feel like a busy bee, flitting from one project to another. And I am loving it.
I finished the socks I have been working on forever. Found another pair that only needed the second sock, and have that sock about 1/2 way done.
I have decided to undo the 2 other socks that need mates, and re-use the yarn for better suited patterns. So, back to the list of sock yarn/patterns I go! I need to find some great patterns to bring out the beauty of the sock yarn I have. I have more sock yarn that is variegated than I know what to do with right now. In fact, nearly all of my yarn is variegated/multi-colored/self-striping.
I wish that I had been a little more prudent when I was buying all that yarn. I mean, would it have killed me to have bought some solid/semi-solid colored yarn? Really? Oh, well. That just means that I will have to be a bit more creative when knitting it all up. I do have some pure black sock yarn, so that might be a good thing to do some colorwork with.
The kids have a snow day today. This is both good and trying. I brought J. to work with me today, and I will bring K. on Monday. I don't think I could have handled them both here today. Nor do I think that my job would be very thrilled either. Lately, both of them have been really snarky, grouchy kids. Neither one will cave on any decision. Sometimes I feel like one of those cliches: "he's touching me"; "no, she's touching me"; "mom, make his stop looking at me"; "mom, she looked at me first, make her stop looking at me".
Now, imagine that this bickering goes on about every single thing that they do, see, say, hear, think and even the things that happened like 2 years ago. I am ready for some valium. I think that everyone in the house should have some, so everyone can just chill out. (I know that this is not the solution, but dang, it would be nice to have a peaceful evening/day.)
I am wishing that I had Lisa's patience. I am not sure how she can keep her sanity some days.
Well, back to work!
