Sick kid .... again

Well -- I have my youngest home with me again .... and true to what I figured no knitting yesterday. I thought I was going to be able to knit for a while but I was mistaken.

I even had the yarn, needles, and socks out of the bag and on the bed waiting to go. But after the fifth time of getting a lull and having the yarn wrapped for tension around my hand - and having it interrupted with "can I have ..." or "moooooooom" ... I confess, I gave up.

when she went to the dr I figured I could get some stitching done .... at least until Morpheus came and kissed my eyelids for 45 min. Now I'm all good for a little nap, about 15-30 minutes at most ... any longer and boom I've got a headache. Sure enough ... flaming headache. But nothing that a few cups of tea didn't cure. Of course, by the time that was taken care of --- whoosh all the kids were home.

She was back from dr.s office, and the two bickersons were back from school. And of course since ds2 had missed thurs & fri from last week he had super load of homework., and a take home test (well, it was only take home for him because he was sick ... but the test was open-notes anyways). and there was a 'read this article and write 10 things you learned' make up thingy. Anyways, he had enough homework to where my second chance for knitting was gone as well.

Too much homework to go to scouts ... actually it all came down to one work sheet. It wasn't like the sheets he's had before where he could find the stock answer in the book ... he had to infer the answers from what he read. Try to explain this to a 12 yr old who's main goal is to shove it in his bag so he can get together with his buds.

death nail to the evening was the emergency call that hubby got calling him into work at 6:45p ... he had to go, major computer crisis - at least it could have been very major .... no ride to scouts. no time alone for Mom to knit.

LOL .... oh who am I kidding .... I wouldn't have been able to knit anyhow. I still had the sick-one, the boy-crazy one, and the Where's-The-Freezer-Key one (otherwise known as "The Bottomless Pit").

My family just seems to have this naturally built in radar for when yarn touches my fingers ... especially hubby if we are in Walmart or Michael's. He makes it a point to know exactly where the A.S. section is in every store and he makes sure that I never go near it (although truth be known, those places really don't have anything that appeals to me anymore ... but the still won't get me over to 3 Little Kittens, that could prove fatal to the checking acct. & credit card)

Although on the bright side I have reached the .... well that's a seperate post.
