That is how I feel. Eiffel Offel. I feel awful. Yesterday was a wash. I was planning on taking all of the kiddos to visit Grampie, who is still in the hospital, but I just couldn’t do it, I was an allergic mess. But I do feel a bit better today – enough to venture…

Kidney’s and Potassium
Grampie is in the hospital. His kidney’s are only functioning at 20% and his potassium levels are dangerously high. They even have him in ICU to keep a close eye on him.
Life Sneezes Along
The wee one has caught a cold and coughed so bad she threw up last night. Fun. And my allergies were so bad in my eyes last night that I was putting a cold wash cloth on them over and over again. I finished my homework on the “sock”:http://www.flickr.com/photos/starzabove/9414517/ for class tomorrow night. I’ve managed…
Bro’s back home – Life goes on
So, we took him to the St.Louis airport yesterday (mom and I) and hit the city center at the same time as a big thunderstorm – fun. But he is back home in California, safe and sound and we are trying to resume some element of normalcy around here. The kids are trying – sort…
The Bro is Back in Town
Well, I drove up to St. Louis yesterday with mom to pick up the li’l bro from the airport. He’s visiting from his current stomping grounds aka SLO(San Luis Obispo), in good ‘ol Cal-ee-forn-eye-ay. It’s great to see him again. His hair is longer than any of the girls in the family, and he still…
Realistic Rationalization Re:Knitting
Some knitting randomness – “This article”:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6038622/site/newsweek/ probably has the best explanation of why I yearn to knit so much. Mom signed us up for a sock knitting class that started Monday night and boy, was I nervous! I was so afraid I was not skilled enough. There were 4 of us in the class, 2…
Rippet Rippet
In my browsing and reading about knitting I keep coming across a term – FROG. And I finally googled the answer (it took awhile) : _*Frog* means to undo something. Because you have to “rippit” “rippit”_

4 Needles, Oh My!
Well, I’ve written a lot about knitting lately, but that is my latest “fun”, so that is honestly what is going on in my life, aside from the normal _stuff_. I’ve even been watching some knitting shows from the “DIY Network”:http://diynet.com off of the dvr. One is “Knitty Gritty”:http://diynet.com/diy/shows_dkng/0,2044,DIY_18180,00.html which is a really fun, trendy…
Easy Knitting – great start for kids
I purchased one of these “Knifty Knitters”:http://www.creativexpress.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=cx&Category_Code=gc-kniftyknitter for my 11yo, who loves it and is very good at it. And then the 14yo (who has been enjoying lap looming picked one up, but that led her to try _real_ knitting again and she was able to get the hang of it this time! She’s knitting…
