I look forward to Tuesdays now because that is when my knitting group meets.  We join up at a starbucks about 5 minutes from my house around 7 and stay until everyone leaves.  Some weeks we have a very small group, 1-2 of us, some weeks, like the last three, we have had large groups of 10 or more at a given time.  It's so nice to sit and talk and knit with other like-minded people.

I really need it today too...

It has been a tough few days. 

Saturday - woke up Super Excited.  I was going to be driving down to Kemper (about 3 hours south of Dallas) to pick up my spinning wheel... WOO HOO.  I have been waiting about 6 weeks or so to have enough money to make the trip down there.  I worked overtime, got a second job, and even joined a medical research study (more on that later) in order to have some extra money to purchase it.  Marty was awesome to me.. Wheel Majacraft Millie in great condition, hand carders, TONS of roving and un carded fleece, as well as about 10 books on dying, spinning, and weaving.  Great deal - well worth the trip.  Spent all my free time this weekend using it.

Sunday - Didn't realize the time had changed saturday night so woke up about 7am - Josh made french toast.  Benjamin on the other hand had a very high fever and was not feeling well at all.  I had to go into work at my part time job and work until about 3:30 - came home exhausted with a killer headache.  Kept the boy highly medicated all day.  He slept with me that night, Josh on the couch.

Monday morning - I had already decided that if he still had a fever monday morning that I was going to stay home and we would take josh to work and return the rental car we had borrowed for our trip to get the wheel.  Well about 10 minutes into our 45 min. commute, Benjamin gets sick all over himself and the back seat.  So, we pulled over, cleaned him off, stripped him down, and went back home.  After a bath and fresh clothes we made attempt #2 to take josh to work.  boy fell asleep in back seat all was good for awhile.  he was pretty good all day so all in all not bad.  Got my Coffee swap package last night and LOVED it!

This morning - I have an interview today with another company so I was going to leave work a little early for a "doctor's appt."  They don't need to know I'm looking else where.  So while trying to iron my favorite blouse this morning, i set the iron too high and burned a huge (3" x 3") hole in the middle of it.  I cried.  Josh hugged me.  I settled for less than perfect shirt.  Josh emailed me and offered to leave work a little extra early and go pick me up a new top.  I love him.

I am just ready for 7pm tonite.  I think I might take my wheel as i am not really actively knitting anything right now... well except that sweater for benjamin... who knows.
