A month..

It has been almost a month since I last wrote anything. I just haven't had time and really nothing to write about, or maybe I just didn't want to engage my brain into thinking that hard. Yea that's it!!! Hehe. Actually, I have been so busy and so much going on that I didn't know where to start. Soccer is about over but we are leaving Friday for Starkville for tournament for 3 days. We haven't gotten the schedule yet but hopefully they will not be playing 8 am games. Those are tough. And we found out on Friday that the girls team will be playing in the Regional tournament in May. So I have to get another hotel room for then. I hope to find a good one with a indoor pool for the kids to play after their games. After that soccer should be over till Fall season. That in itself will cut down a lot on our runnings. Explorers will be the only other thing going on.

I have got to get out with Cody this spring and teach him how to drive. He needs to be able to get his permit soon. He just doesn't listen to well and I'm nervous about teaching him. I have tried to let him drive before just down the street to the house but he doesn't hold it straight. Then will not listen to me about the turn signals he wants to talk over me. Now to be fair to him that's been months ago, so I guess its time to try again. I also worry about teaching him in my V8 SUV. He gives it to much gas and he will panic then I will have a wrecked V8 SUV. I guess I am just not prepared for one of my kids to be old enough to drive.

Easter was a great day!! I drove my mom and my niece with my kids to Hayti, MO to visit some of her family. We had a fantastic lunch and sat around talking about this and that. We saw a lot of the devistation that the tornados that hit the area a couple of weeks ago, did. Lots of metal silo's just crushed like someone just balled up a piece of aluminum foil, twisted metal of all sorts, splintered wood, etc. Scary!!! After we got home, the boys (and girls) all got dressed up to play Airsoft. It was wonderful!!! I got to spend about 2 hours alone, just me and the dogs. It was wonderful to just be alone.

Crying....

This weekend has been another one of those weekends. Gary and I got into an argument, well actually it was more of a blowout (we only do this about once a year so I guess it was coming) and I cried all day Saturday. I should have been over it by Sunday but no I cried all day then too. I don't know why I am so emotional this weekend but I have been. This morning I was cussed out by one of the defendents that come thru here, normally this wouldn't have bothered me at all but this guy got under my skin. I shouldn't have allowed him to get to me that way but as soon as he left I started crying again. He didn't get his way so he took it out on me and my department. My co-workers witnessed it and he was even chased out of the building my the court clerk and an officer. What I should have done is walked away from the window when he started up and let him stand there for a bit. I shouldn't have put up with him. And he called me rude, sheesh!! Hopefully the rest of the day will go along smoothly and I won't have another incident today.

Horn Lake Explorers

My son is an Explorer. Maybe I should tell you what being an Explorer is. Our police department sponsors a group of young men and women that are interested in law enforcement. Our group are led by a wonderful young man who has done remarkable things with these teens. He is one of our fine officers here in Horn Lake. This weekend they participated in a Police Olympics. Our team of Explorers excelled!! We took home the majority of the gold and silver medals and our group was given the honor of being the color guard for the award banquet. My son was given the opportunity to be apart of the color guard and carried the American flag. I am so very proud of my son. He has come a long way and I believe that he is going to grow into a fine man. This is a picture of him in his Explorer Uniform.

March already

I can not believe that it is March already. Good grief the months are flying by. Does this mean that once again Christmas will be a'knocking before long? I swear since I had children (no there are no new ones) time just flies by. I really wish our lives were not so hurry hurry all the time. To lay down and take a nap and not have to worry about waking up at any certain time because something has to be done or to sit on my front porch and knit or crochet for as long as I wanted without having to worry about taking one of the kids somewhere or answering the stupid phone. Man, can you imagine just slowing your life down to a walking pace.
On a good note, I received my purse/tote from my partner on the Swap Spring Purse and Tote swap from Crochetville. I am so impressed. It is gorgeous and I love it. I hope that the lady I made the tote for likes hers. I'm so nervous about her getting it. I shipped it today so I will be hearing something soon I hope. I always get so nervous about giving anything I make to someone.


I wish everyone a safe and happy weekend.

Bye Ya'll,

Oh the pain....

This weekend has been busy. I don't mean a little bit but a lot of busy. I left work early Thursday afternoon and took off the entire day Friday to get the kids ready to go to their trip with the church for the weekend. I had unknown amounts of laundry to get done and everytime I thought I actually might be done with it more would pop up from somewhere in the house. Like out of the boys room in the closet or dirty clothes out of my daughters drawers because she was to lazy to bring them to the dirty clothes hamper. I ran that washer and dryer a half of day Thursday and all day Friday, you know my water and electric bill are going to be huge. Friday afternoon my friend Laura called me to ask me if I still wanted the bedroom suite that they had and I told her that I couldn't afford to buy it from her right now and she probably needed to sell it. She told me they were not worried about the money we would make arraingments and I told her that I didn't like to get involved with money matters with my friends because money causes friendships to be lost and I valued her friendship to much for that and no amount of money could replace her as my friend. She said she understood. About an hour later she calls me back to tell me that her and her husband decided to give us the bedroom suite because they knew that we would take care of it. I was shocked. Happy and excited but shocked. I love it, it is absolutly beautiful and I am so very grateful to her and her husband for this wonderful gift. All weekend my youngest son and I moved furniture from around the house to make room for the new bedroom suite. It took Friday night and all of Saturday to get it right but it is so worth it. I also took advantage of the moving around to clean out some stuff and throw some stuff away. As well as cleaning out part of the boys room to make room for the chest of drawers to fit in there. And I took a bunch of my home interiors items that is no longer available and hung up. It is really starting to look good in the house and I'm very proud of it but good grief I am sooo tired today.
Looks like this week is going to be an busy one as well. I have 2 kids playing soccer and all week they have practice then both have a game on Saturday at the same time. Should be fun!!!

Have a great week!!

To much to do, to little time to do it

I had a great weekend and a day off. Saturday it was only me and the boys, while the eldest drove me crazy with how absolutly bored he was and how he wanted me to drive him somewhere, anywhere it really didn't matter where. Which I wasn't going to do because of the ice on the ground. My youngest stayed curled up on the loveseat watching cartoons. We had lunch and dinner together and I finished my socks, YEA!!! They are ugly but they are warm and they fit my big fat feet. I really should have made them longer on the leg but I didn't take into account that my calves are the size of calves so when I wear them they come just above my ankles. Even so, I am so proud of them that I actually made a pair of socks. I have a ton of sock yarn now because I enjoyed so much making these socks that I want to make more. After I fininshed those socks I started a tote for co-workers daughter to take on a cruise with her. It's crocheted and its just full of fun spring and summer colors. It has a drawstring on the top and the purse part is huge. I can't wait for her mom to give it to her. I told her mom it was for her daughter because she was so good to her mom and took care of her. I have to start an afghan to donate to a charity affair. A gentleman that works for the probation service we use had a massive heart attack and the company doesn't offer insurance so he and his family are very strapped for money to pay bills. His co- workers are holding a benefit for him in a month. They are holding a silent auction in his behalf and so they have asked me to donate something to that cause. No problem. I think I'm going to make the filet ripple I have made before. Its beautiful so I think thats the one I will do. Besides I can get it done quick. I think it will do well in an auction. I hope anyway.


Have a great day,

Ice, Ice, Ice, Baby, Ice.....

Last night around midnight the weather turned ugly. Not that we didn't expect it, that's all the weather men on the local news have talked about. This "ice storm" has been compaired to the Ice Storm of '94 and how bad it was going to be. Well, I'm here to tell you, it's not looking good. It's still sleeting and ice pellets are falling from the very snow pregant grey sky. It's cold and very slippery out there and I'm not moving out of this house. I'm not even going to take the dogs out my son is going to do that. Since Dakota pulled me down on my hip last weekend on the snow I'm not risking it. I just heard a car drive down the road maybe the roads are as bad as I thought but in my SUV I'm not taking any chances. Lasts year when the ice came it did't hold well in the ice and slid all over the road. Not trying it. Besides with all the red necks around here doing donuts in the middle of the streets I don't think I will even get out. I think I will make a big pot of soup and some cornbread sounds good to me. And finish my socks then I can wear my own warm wool socks that I made. Hehe!!!

Stay warm Ya'll,

One of those days.....

It has been the most horrible day!! That person I work with is just plain out to drive me completely out of my mind. Not that I need much help attaining that type of insanity, my kids have helped me out quite a bit. No matter what I say or what I do, I am being rude to her. I don't care if its hello hows your day, its going to come out rude. I have told her and my boss that this the same way I talk to everyone and only she has the problem with it. I'm not bowing down to her or cowering in a corner because she thinks she runs the office, which by the way I am senior clerk in this office. This does not mean I have any authority this means if the head clerk and the other head clerk are out then I'm in charge. Not that I want to be in charge of a woman that has her head stuck so far up her... nevermind you get the point. For two years this crap has been going on and I am now completely sick of it. My direct supervisior says that its the way I say things to her, well I guess I need to sit in my corner and keep my mouth completely shut because nothing I say is good enough. She is going to be able to run the office and be self appointed office manager no matter what. No one in that building works up there with her I am the only one and I hear the crap she pulls and they way she treats people and for some odd reason when things like what happened today happens I get the blame. SHEEEESSHH!! I am just soooo over it all. Ok I need to quit my blood pressure is already up because of this.
On a good note I did however finish my booga bag check this out ya'll
I also completed one sock. Yea I know that it has to have a mate and yes I'm working on that socks mate. The only reason that I'm mentioning this is I am patting myself on the back because it is my first. Yes, I Carol, was a sock virgin. I now have made my first sock and frogged the second. I was about done with the second when I noticed that the heel sucked so I had to start all over. So here is the picture of the lonely sock. It kind of looks like its for an elephant now that I look at it. But it was my first. Wasn't everyones first a bit iffy, wasn't sure if you liked it or not?? Didn't know if you ever were going to try that again?? Oh wait we are talking about socks. I will leave you with that thought if thinking doesnt hurt enough today.

See ya,

Wonders never cease!

Will wonders never cease to happen?? I shore hope not!! I can not believe I actually knitted something that I can use. Take a look.... Now remember it is still drying on a box covered with an old trusty Wal-mart bag. I sure hope it looks that good after it dries.

I'm also trying to knit socks. And so far so its going pretty good. But I haven't gotten to the heal part yet. See....
Not to bad huh?? Ok my dogs are barking at me to take them out so before their eye balls start floating I better get them out to go potty.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

It snowed today!! I love snow but living in the South we don't get much. Mostly we get ice I hate ice. I think we wound up with about 3 or 4 inches of the beautiful white stuff. The kids had just got out of school when it started and about 30 minutes later my boss walked in the door and told us the mayor told us to pack it up and go home. They actually closed city hall for the snow. Let me ask you how cool is that???? I couldn't believe that we got a half snow day. I felt like a kid again. Too cool!!! Not that we were doing anything to begin with it was slower than snails. So, I get home and start taking the dogs out to potty and Dakota got excited (remember they are snow dogs) and pulled me a bit to hard on the slippery stuff and down I went. The neighbor kids across the street were watching this fat ole lady hit the drive way and be pulled a bit by a large Siberian Husky. You know that had to be a funny sight. I'm a bit sore after ward but I think I actually bounced down the drive way. I'm pretty sure this fat has springs in it. I had to laugh at myself for being so stupid as to wear the shoes I had on in the snow. When I got up I was wet all over and soooo very cold. I hope this stuff does not turn into ice but it probably will.

Looky what I got!!!

I got my package from my partner on the wool swap on Crochetville today!! Oh boy did I get excited!! I squeeled so loud my dogs had to get up from their nice soft place of laying around (known as the most expensive dog bed) the sofa to see what the heck was wrong with their mommy. As I have told you before Dakota just gets un-nerved when I act like there is something horribly wrong (good or bad). She sent 4 skeins of Patrons Merino Wool in Tuscan colors an 2 skeins in grey/white and I'm thinking socks. She also sent a drop spindle and some wonderful roving to spin. She also sent instructions, bless her heart!! I sure do not know how to spin but I sure want to learn. I am so tickled about this package. It feels like Christmas again. I can not wait to do another yarn swap.

On another note, I am knitting a booga bag and I'm so surprised that I was even able to start this let alone be as far as I am with it. I will post a picture this evening to show everyone my progress. I'm running for now I don't have my contacts in and my eyes are killing me. I will write more later.

Been sick...what else is new??

Well, I have spent most of last week and all weekend sick. This all started Wednesday with stomach problems and I had to leave work and go home because of it. If that weren't enough then I came down with a sinus infection. My sinus' feel as if someone is poking a red hot ice pick up my nose just for the hell of it. And I know I have lost I don't know how many I.Q. points from sneezing. I'm not coughing (thank you Jesus) its just all in my head. I know some of you have been dying to tell me that it is all in my head, now I have said it for everyone. I feel like, well you know how you would feel if someone had an icepick up your nose. I have taken medicine at night that helps me sleep since I can't breathe and then medicine in the morning that is suppose to not make me sleepy so now my brain is not really sure what it suppose to be doing. All weekend the dogs have encircled me not letting me out of their sight. They do this everytime I am sick. I can't move without a dog, especially Dakota, being right there. Imagine if you will, you are sleeping or trying to because you are sick and being flanked on either side by a Siberian Husky. They lay so close that they actually keep the covers so tight that you can't move or pull the covers off when you get hot. Or try just going to take a hot bath and being stared at by a dog as big as you are. Sunday I was sitting at my new computer watching a DVD and someone knocks on the door, Indigo jumps up and begins to bark, not just any ole bark but this half growl half bark thing. I only mention this because they never bark unless they have to go potty. I don't care who comes to the door they just sit and stare at them. But because I'm sick and its their job to be my fearless protector he starts acting like he's going to kill someone. Turns out it was a neighbor child coming over to borrow barbecue sauce. Silly dog!!!

I crocheted my very first purse for the swap I'm participating in on Crochetville. I have never done this before and it looks right but I am sooooo nervous about sending it to the girl I made it for because I have never done it. I'm so worried that she will not like it or I didn't do it right or something. Everyone that sees it likes it but I'm not so sure its good enough. It's springy I can say that for sure and it will hold up and is washable.
that's all I can think of today, maybe my brain won't be so full of ........what its full off tomorrow and I can write more.

Happy Hooking,

I could be sleeping....

I could be sleeping, but no I'm in court listening to trials. I say I could be sleeping because I'm so sleepy I can't stand myself. I haven't slept well for the last couple of nights because I have crocheted all night in my dreams. I didn't know that crocheting could be so tiring but apparently it is. I am working on a shrug and I'm trying to figure out how I can modify it a bit. So I guess in my waking hours I have thought about it so much that I am now dreaming about it. I think I have it figured out and once I get it part of the way done I will post a picture. I'm using a Knitpicks yarn Merino wool in the color Asparagus. I love it!! It feels so good and once done it is going to be beautiful I hope. I have never made anything like this before so I'm hoping that it is going to turn out ok. I'm going to be putting another order in soon I hope. I can't wait, I'm in love with their yarn. I am taking part in a spring purse swap for Crochetville and I can't wait to get my partners information so I know what I'm making for her. I had so much fun in the wool swap that I'm really looking forward to participating in this one too. I have never crocheted a purse before so I have been scouring the net looking for a respectable purse to create for my partner. I'm so excited!! I got to buy myself a new computer!! I can not wait till it gets here. It rocks and I mean rocks. I can now play my Sims, work on web page, work with my pictures and scrapbooking and anything else that I want to without the computer locking up on me. I can't wait!!!!!

Work?? What's Work

I'm at work today, not that I want to be here but I have to be here all the same. Especially if I want that not so fat check at the end of a 2 week pay period. It has been a very boring day and when it is boring around here it is soooo very boring and the time drags by. I could think of a bunch of those southern analogies about right now but I will leave that to your imagination. Oh well ok just one, time is dragging by so slow it reminds me of a hot southern day sitting on the front porch sipping lemonaide wishing for snow. LOL Ok that wasn't the best I could come up with but it will have to do for right now. See it has been so slow that my brain has started to puddle up behind my eyes and its making me one sleepy girl. So risking the fact that could get me into trouble, I have been knitting at my desk. Its a terrible picture I took it with my cell phone then tried to fix it on a photo manipulation program. It didn't work!! I still have an hour to sit here and do n0thing but answer the phone when it rings because my co-worker has left for the day and now her job falls on me too. Not complaining because it is slow today. I am so ready to go home for the weekend and hopefully this weekend will be better than the last. My intentions are to sit around and knit and do the normal stuff like laundry and cleaning of the house, but the kids are going to help.

Mom, Can I have.....It's only......

How many times a day can one mother hear, Mom, can I have______It only cost__________??? Or Mom I want_________? I mean really!!! I now know exactly how my mom felt everytime we passed by one of those displays next to the case register, you know those impulse buy displays. And speaking of, who's brilliant idea was it to put it at kids eye level right where they knew us mothers (and fathers just to be fair) would be standing the longest. Face it gentlemen, you are usually there alone and are as bad as kids sometimes, Oh I can not live without that high powered, micro mag light that opens cans and skins a deer. But for mothers its, mom can I have candy, no you can't we are going to eat dinner soon, but I want it, so spit in one hand and wish in the other (just kidding but I have felt like saying that before). Every day when the kids come home, and no I'm really not exaggerating about this, ok, you got me almost every day the kids come home from school and they need money for something else. I just got off the phone with my daughter who now wants money for pictures at school for Valentines day with her and a friend. She is in 6th grade why do I want to buy pictures that are already overpriced of her and a friend who she won't be friends with next week. Oh I guess I'm being silly I remember being in 6th grade or wait maybe that was....oh never mind!! I just get so tired of being I wanted to death. Earlier today my eldest son just has to have his explorer uniform by Tuesday!!! That's over $170.00 for that. I'm not rich, let me rephrase that, I'm not no where near rich. I'm broke!! He's going to have to wait till next week sometime. Then my daughters school wants money for several different things plus she has 2 projects due and the youngest has projects to do also. All this and I'm trying to get a business started as well. Geez, do I look like I'm made of money (oh good grief I'm starting to sound like my mom). I'm going to leave you today with a picture of our female dog when we first got her in rescue, this is her super model pose . She reminds me of today when I'm thinking, "Just what do you want now
Can't you see I'm trying to sleep??

Adventures in Hooking....

Hehe made you look with a title like that huh??? Calm down it's not what you think. I have started a baby sweater, in itself that is not that remarkable except for the fact that I have never made one before. It is proving to be a challenge because the pattern, for lack of anything better to say, is weird. To weird. To the point it makes no sense to me. Here, judge for yourself :

Yes, the pattern is actually written that way. I think that is where the sleeve is suppose to go but right now it just looks weird. I'm hoping the further I get into this sweater I will understand it better. I can always frog it and find a different pattern. I have never made any type of sweater before and this year I'm going to learn to crochet and knit sweaters. And as I loose this weight I'm going to make myself new sweaters and such.

I took this picture of my kitty this weekend also. She is sitting on the top of my desk looking down on me. Oh, this is Maggie Mae our 5 year old kitty. We have her mom also, Scarlet who is a red tabby. Maggie is our 10 year olds cat, she
sleeps with him and is very lost when he is not there. She loves that boy more than anything else.
You can't see here but on her left side there are two black spots and when she lays down they form he shape of a heart.

I can't wait to get off work so I can go home and knit or crochet, I never know which I'm going to do till I get there and of course how my hands feel. See ya'll later.

Gosh I can't wait!!!

I can't wait, I mean I really can't wait! I know you want to know what I can't wait for and I'm babbling and won't come on and say what exactly it is that I can't wait for. I just can't wait till the day that I get to open my shop. Securing the money to open is what is holding me up but I feel it in my bones that it won't be long now. I sure hope my fortune telling bones are right!! I'm looking forward to the first time I can help a customer or teach a child in my shop where I have time and supplies. I can't wait till I see that look in someones eyes when they create something out of nothing for the very first time. I can't wait till I make that very first sale. I can't wait till I can work side by side with my children and my husband stocking items or inventoring the items into stock. I just plain can't wait!!! I would like to have my shop in a small house where I have a small type kitchen and several extra rooms for yarn storage and a classroom. I know of a house that is for sale but I don't know who is going to loan me the money to buy this house. Its a good location and I would have to make some renovations like adding parking to the front and the back of the house. I want to make it easy to get in and out of easier since it sits on the busiest street around here. Close in the garage area and that would give me more show space I could use one of the bedrooms as a classroom and the other as a room for just sitting down and knitting or crocheting together. I would have the books and maybe samples of yarn in that room. That would probably be Raggies Corner. I have never been in this house but I have a feeling I know how it is set up and it would be perfect. I just can't wait. I sure hope it happens soon.

Knitting time again......

Just want to break out in song. It's knitting time again.....yea baby....ohh yea.... Ok, OK that stunk to high heaven!!! I am finally knitting the handwarmers my best friend asked me for a month ago. I haven't had time to get it done (well I did finish that baby blanket in the efforts to destash). I love to knit but it is a bit slower than crocheting and crocheting feeds the instant gratification need I have. I love the look of the knitting stitches and how it all comes together using just pointed sticks. By the way, it still amazes me with either crochet or knit, how you can take nothing and make something. How out of a ball, a hank, or a skein a sweater or hat or anything is made. It is amazing to me how thru the ages that these crafts have passed down from one generation to another and how no matter how the times change knitting and crocheting are always accepted. I think it's great that people of all ages, colors, sex, and nationalities are learning to knit and crochet and are finding out that both are great stress relief. What a nice thing to think that these crafts all of us can do in peace. There are no rules and there is not a wrong way or right way to participate in either craft. I know I'm at my greatest peace when I can sit and crochet or knit for hours with no one bothering me, which by the way is not going to happen in my house with 3 kids, bless their hearts. I think everyone should learn to knit or crochet, what a wonderfull world this would be.
I go tomorrow to the CPA to talk about opening my business. I think I'm getting closer to being able to do it. I can't wait!!! I can't wait to sign the papers on my own business, I can't wait till I open my shop and have a grad opening, I can't wait till I sell my first item. I just can't wait. Period!!! I think....no... I believe that I will do good business and I believe that I will make it. I wish I had the start up capitol without taking a SBA but I don't. I really don't want to go into business in debt. I would rather only have the normal bills like rent, utilities and such. I know I can sell enough to do that but to pay back a loan too. That's why I have to talk to the CPA I know he can tell me what I'm up against. It's like going to see the wizard!! I think too I'm going to take my business in to the city next to us because... they want way to much rent in this small town for anything good, we have nothing here but what I think is "bad business" and not enough of desirable busineses. I don't know, I'm still looking where to open. I have a lot to learn but don't mind learning by no means.
