Busy, Busy, Busy!

Things have been crazy hectic around here the last couple weeks! My daughter started school last week and she has also had cheerleading practice the last couple weeks in the evenings. Then I had a doctors appointment and the next day, my son had one. The day of his appointment, he also had his preschool screening (he knew a lot more than they expected!). On top of all that, one of the hoses to the washer burst while we were at his doc appointment and I had come home to a flooded basement. I only had a half hour to get him to his screening and the faucets did NOT want to turn off so I had to shut of the water to the whole house. I took him to his screening soak and wet because I didn't have time to change. Oh! Did I mention that I have to walk the kids everywhere because we only have one car right now? Yeah. I am not complaining at all about that. Lets face it. I need the exercise and all this walking is putting me well over my goals. I feel good. The only downer is that by the time my hubby gets home from work and is ready for our time at the track together, I am too pooped. I need to just do it though because he pushes me to run, not just walk. I really need and want to run but, I am a wimp and can't seem to get past the pain it leaves me in. Something I need to get over. We will just add that to the "Need to Get Over" list I have ever growing.

So. besides all that, I have been knitting and reading when I get the chance to sit. I am either working, running kids everywhere, or cleaning (trying too sometimes). The last time I posted, I think I mentioned that I had signed back up for HPKCHC on Ravelry after about a year of sitting out. Well, I am happy to say that I made it back into my home, Gryffindor! I wasn't sure I would make it into a house this time because I have been gone for so long. But I am soooooo happy I did!!!! I still need to turn in a class and finish my Quidditch item but, my main focus has been my OWL. I am knitting a shawl I have wanted to do for a LONG time. It's the Color Affection Shawl by Veera Valimaki. I am in love!!!! It is so easy that I could work on it no matter where I am or what I am doing. So, needless to say, it goes with me to cheer practices and I knit on it while my Moira is practicing and Liam is playing on the playground. Nice and relaxing! 

When I am not really in much of a mood to knit, I read instead. This way I am always doing something! Right now I am still reading Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows by J. K. Rowling. This is the only book in the series I never got to read. I am, of course, LOVING it. I am almost 1/3 of the way done with it so I still have a ways to go with it. That's fine with me though. I only need 1 more book completed before I finish this years reading goal! I may change it and add a few though. I am not sure yet. 

I am also reading Geek Girl by Holly Smale. It is a smaller book and also more of a contemporary instead of my usual fantasy. The only reason I have this one going as well is because it is an ebook. I have my ereader (Nook) with me constantly. I am never without it. I try to take Harry Potter with me but, I sometimes forget or just don't have enough room for it with everything else I have to take that time. My Nook goes no matter what though. I will NOT be caught without a book! That is just blasphemy! 

So, this has been my life the last couple weeks. Busy, busy, busy! I am working on making myself a schedule to post more regularly though. Which it will be easier now that I have an actual work space again. I have been packing up all of Moiras K12 stuff that needs to go back and getting that ready for shipping back. Don't get me wrong, K12 was wonderful! I just can't homeschool on top of work and everything else going on around here. At least her going to school is going MUCH better than it was last year. If she is happy, I am happy. That's all that matters :)

Well, I talk to you all latter!

Thanks for reading!!!! <3
