Random Thoughts Of The Day

So, I just realized that I totally missed out on the first day of my favorite season, Fall. It was Sunday and I had to work. I am sad I missed out on going outside that day but, I am still happy too. The last couple days (including Sunday) have been wonderful fall temps all day and I have LOVED it! I just love this season so much. I am going to do my best to enjoy it as much as I can while it lasts!

Part of my way to enjoy it is knitting! I haven't knit much this year at all but I have been getting back into it more and more over the last couple months and I couldn't be happier! I have even signed back up for HPKCHC on Ravelry again! I am really happy and excited to be part of the knitting community again. Its helping me out a lot in many ways. Mostly not feeling so trapped at home because of everyone working during my days off and me working on their days off. I miss out on a lot because of that and really don't see much of anyone but my family. I love them to death and wouldn't trade them for the world but, I am a person who really likes to get out with friends every now and then to gather myself and kind of recuperate from the unending stress I have to deal with. So, work makes that hard but, Ravelry helps because of all the wonderful people I have met and talked to. It may not get me out of the house but, it gives me friends to talk to though out the day. I couldn't be more thankful for it.

Now, I need to go to bed. Have to be up at 6a.m. to get ready and take my hubby to work. He has to be there early and its about a 30 minute drive. I need the car for errands tomorrow. Oh the joys of only having one car! Hopefully I can change that in the next couple years at most :)

My Little Girl Is Growing Up!

Its just as the title suggests..... My baby girl is growing up. Today was her first cheer leading practice. I also see it as being the one to start it all. She is a very active little girl and her little brother is going to follow in her footsteps.

Moira has wanted to be in cheer leading since before she was even in school. She was so excited when I told her she was going to be able to one this year. I am very happy that she is happy and so proud of her for wanting to be so active. She wants to all kinds of sports now. As many as she can. I think her next big one is going to be track or cross country. She has loved going to the track as family every night so the hubs and I can walk and run. She loves us timing her runs. She can surly run circles around us, that's for sure!

Her brother is going to follow in her footsteps. He loves her so much and the 2 of them are inseparable. As soon as they are separated, they miss each other immediately. Liam is also wanting to start with sports. Baseball and football are definite with him right now. They thought it was cool when I said Liam would be the playing football and Moira would be cheering him on. He is too young still to be in anything but, I think he will be able to next summer. He starts preschool this year :(

*Sigh*.........Both of my babies are growing up. Happy, proud, and sad all at the same time.

Thinking

So, as I was sitting here watching my husband play his video games, I was thinking about reading more of my book. He got me Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows so I am finally able to read it! Now, I know what your thinking...... How have I NOT read this book yet!? Am I right? Well, I had originally had it when it first came out but, not a week later, it had been stolen. I was not able to get another copy either due to money being tight back then and our first child on the way. I just couldn't justify buying a 30 dollar book on the spot. The only reason I was able to get it in the first place was because I had pre-ordered it. It made it easier for some reason.... If I remember correctly, I think the place I had pre-ordered from had some kind of special deal. Its hard to remember exactly because it was 8 years ago and I had pregnancy brain!

Any way. I decided against it as I had blogging brought to my attention. It made me think of my seriously neglected blog on here. I am really wanting to blog more, not only because it is fun, but because it has been helping in many ways. So, I am looking and thinking through how I have things going (or lack there of) and any changes I may want to make. I even want to come up with some kind of "schedule" to stick to. Just because I do want to post more regularly. No, seriously, I really really do.

One change I am sure about making is that, I will not be posting videos for now. I really want to learn how to edit videos so I can focus more on having fun with them and less on trying not to mess up. Then they would be more enjoyable to watch! ;) That is my goal for that anyway.

I don't have any idea what, if any, other changes. I thought about maybe changing the blog look up a bit and I definitely will be making a list of everything to blog about and what not. I will still be blogging about books, knitting, and just life in general. Beyond that, we will have to see how things pan out. I, for one, am excited to get things rolling again and hope you will be too!
