2. We are on day gagillion (well closer to 25) of Christmas Break. Three weeks and 2 snow days later my kiddos will (hopefully) be returning to school.
3. A sweet friend asked me late last week if I knew who did prayer shawls at our church because she was looking for one for a 3 year old girl. I told her that I would be happy and honored to do it for them. Little "L" is very sick and has been sick for all of her 3 years. Most hospitals and doctors have told her parents that she is a terminal patient. Miraculously, a hospital in the midwest is willing to try to make her better! She'll be having heart surgery (via a catheter) at the end of this month. If this procedure works, she may be healthy enough to get onto the transplant list for a liver (then for lungs and heart). Because it's for a 3 year old, I decided to knit a blanket instead. It looks really blue in the picture, but it's purple, lilac, tan and chocolate brown.
4. The above makes me count my blessings and hug my children a little bit tighter each day.
5. A friend of mine called with an interesting business idea this week, and I'm SO very excited that: a) I was asked and b) for a fun way to make money crafting. More to come soon!
6. Twice this last week I was complimented on my appearance. Makes a girl feel good (especially since all I've been doing is eating Christmas goodies)!
7. I am hopelessly addicted to Lego Indiana Jones 2, but I promised the Doodle that he could finish first. YIKES. What a bone head move, as I've had to put down the Wii-mote so as not to get too far ahead.
8. My knitting class was fun on Saturday, and even though we had 6 (one over the max), it still went remarkably well. It helped that three of the women had knit before, but the knit stitch was all they knew. Why teach someone to knit without teaching them how to cast on or bind off?
9. I've been fighting exhaustion for a few days now. So exhausted that I take a three hour nap mid-morning to early afternoon and am still able to sleep well at night. Some might say I need to see the doctor... I'm holding out until both kiddos are back in school.
10. My family is AWESOME! I took a short nap today (just a 30 min power nap) and woke up to: hubby being home early, boys getting ready to head outside - for the second time, and a CLEAN TOY ROOM! I wish I had pictures to show the before and after, but suffice it to say it is a complete 180 since I couldn't open the toy room door this morning.
11. It cracks me up every time someone says I did a complete 360. That doesn't get you anywhere...
12. I *think* that all of the Christmas items have been put away. I had to buy another large container after the last time I thought all of the decorations were put away when I found the Christmas books, plates and CDs that I'd forgotten on the first time.
