Definitely Not a Knitting Week

What the...???

This week was one horrible week. I don't like to wish my life away, but I'm really glad to see this week go. Way too much running around with nary a break in sight, on the job and off. And not feeling the best either.

A Little Secret

At age 27 I've only been driving for a year. And I like it. Really, I do. It's nothing like being able to go where you want, be where you want-all in a matter of minutes. But ever since, I have a million responsibilities for a single and a single parent that are just driving me up a wall! It's like I was abandoned on the side of the road or something and I'm tired already!! Let me just say that my family is very supportive. My complaint just has to do with the energy part, I guess. I have dropped on of my jobs and still my days are going from 6:00a-12:00a-and that last hour is just to get some time to take deep breaths alone and try to knit or read for a few and get some closure to my day before drifting off to sleep (oh yeah, and sometimes get a few loads of laundry done simultaneously-you can't imagine what that horror is like until you've awaken to your alarm four times in a night, two to three nights in a row, to switch clothes from the drier to the basket to the washer to the drier..etc. and go back to bed). Wednesdays are my days off, but I usually spend it running around too: car wash, grocery shopping, doctors visits if necessary, or whatever needs to be done along with more clothes washing (which increases in frequency each time a certain six-year old rips or stains a shirt or wears a knee out). Two nights a week it's karate and two nights a week it's my after school program (with a bunch of kids that I love, but truly, they do not understand what it means to conserve materials when they haven't paid for them-Ms. Johnson has (that's me)...and I've found that won't clean their workspace unless they're threatened with having to exit the program...kids...gotta love 'em). The other part of my job is best left alone. It's one of those things where there are your good days, and then, there are your bad days. I can't figure out what went wrong here. I have issues on my job that I don't even want to discuss here and other things that just make me want to go to a closet and holler at the top of my lungs for as long as I can! I did a favor for someone recently and when I needed something in return all I got was a big fuss! All I want to do is gripe and right now this is the only place I can do it. Is anyone listening to me? Oh well, such is life sometimes. Sometimes it just be's that way, I guess. It doesn't hurt to have an ear and a shoulder though.

My Knitting Non-Progress

I've only got about three more rows on Forever since I last wrote. But I'm beginning to think that's a lot. It's somewheres between 227-300+ stitches...so I guess it'd only be natural for me to take a few minutes to get to the end of a row. I'm trying to decide whether I want to keep on the Sleevey or wait until I get some experienced direction from someone in the knitting club...They did offer help. Maybe I should take it? It beats me pulling out those stitches one more time. Or does everyone go through that? I also did a couple samples working up the nerve to go to color soon. Mosaic and fair isle. I'm wondering if that last fair isle couldn't have been made with intarsia? I wish I had some get up and go right now, I'd load a pic up. But I'm really not feeling it today. Maybe this weekend. At any rate, it's a dark purpley color with orange. The orange section is like a large triangle (as large as a sample gets anyhow). It's orange all through though with no interruptions of purple till you get to the edges. Why couldn't that have been intarsia? It's a charted pattern. Maybe it could've and the book just assumed the knitter knew. Who knows?

Till the weekend.
