What to do

So what does one do when they don't know what to do? I have an "issue" and I really have no idea how to handle it. Its a tough problem and trick to solve. If I don't solve it the right way it will look like I don't know what to do and if I do solve it the right way the "issue" might not get all the help it needs. I think I need another vacation.

I've been knitting a lot so that is nice. I'm close to getting done my first ballet slipper. I am so curious as to how those will turn out. I'm also in the process of getting all my current swap packages out in the mail. I just have to put them all together and send them off......

Fall has been great here in Utah execpt its really not fall. At least not temperature wise. Yesterday it was 85 degree's outside. Ugh its still really warm and will be for at least the end of the week. I have so to say I'm really looking forward to the cooler weather.

Vacation

We are sitting outside watching whales right now. How cool is Oregon. I love Oregon, I need to be living here. I hope to get a ton of knitting done this week and we'll see. We are loving it. This is so fun watching the whale. I'll try to get everything done if I don't let myself get totally sidetracked by the whales. LOVE THEM. I'll post pic's later.

Dilema

Hi, Ok my wonderful husband and myself are going on a much needed vacation together starting on Saturday. My dilema is do I bring my work phone with me or not. I can't tell you how much I want to leave it but I have this tyrantt of a boss who might loss his mind if I don't answer a call immediately. So what I think I might do is bring it, have it turned off, leave a VERY clear msg that I'm not available and then from there check it about every 3rd day. That should be just fine. I don't like my job but I love the kids I work with so I don't want them to suffer due to my choices. UGH. I need to go knit and sip this evening. Ta ta

Well I got back into my knitting again.

Its been a few days since i knitted but I got back into it yesterday. I decided to cast on something new and that was really helpful. Now I'm back to the swing of it and can't wait to get back to it. I am knitting a pair of ballet slippers. I'm really curious how they will turn out becuase they are put together differently than the clogs. I don't think the bottoms are as sturdy but I'll have to finish to find out.

Other than that we're just getting ready for our yearly trip to Oregon. We have a wedding to go to first and then we're off to our favorite places. It will be nice to take a real break for all of "it". Work is crazy so being away from it and my phone will be a great treat. I can't wait.

I have to go now I really need to pick up the house so that the in-laws won't know our dirty little secret - we're kind of messy........

Fall for Ewe Questions

What is your favorite thing about Autumn? I love the change in the air. I love how crisp the air feels. Its so refreshing and it seems cleaner. I also love to be reminded of the power that Mother Nature has as the leaves change colors.

What ‘cold weather’ project are you looking forward to making the most the autumn? I really would like to take on a sweater. I've done anything that big or with such a huge commitment but I think I might be ready.

This is a fun swap. I just love fall so I think its easy to like this theme. I also really love halloween. I love the build up of it more and anything other holiday. Thanksgiving is my next favorite. I could easily give up Christmas if it wasn't for the religious aspect of it.

Back Update: its so much better. I finally went in and my syatic (sp?) nerve has been irritated so that is why its going down my leg. So the doc gave me some good meds to help with that. Of course they are making me nauseated but I'll live through it. So its all good. YEA

Pain in the Back

Ok so I now have a new aliment and its driving nuts. My back is killing me and I don't know why. It started hurting about 5 weeks ago but i really thought it would go away by now but it hasn't. So I am going to go to the doctor for the #1 reason drug addicts go to the doctor, they have a back ache. I hate it and I feel like a total whimp but its getting in the way of things and I just down right grumpy. So I'm off to the doc tomorrow morning.

Update on the job: Well I still really don't like it. I have to clearify that I like the kids I work with and even some of their parents but the company I work for is seriously broken. Its so crazy that I can't even believe I work there but I do. I need to find another job and I'm kind of afraid to do so. What if its not better. I think I just need to take the leap and go for it. Who knows it can't be worse, right?

Still busy but its getting better

Ugh I just typed up a really nice entry and it got lost. So I'll go quick. I'm getting caught up and don't feel as behind as I have been. I'll soon be totally caught up with all my swap stuff. I love swaps they make me feel like its xmas for me.

Where has all the time gone

Ok its September already and I have fallen behind in my life. I don't usually fall behind in my own life. At work I see it happen and its somewhat manageable but when its my life it kind of gets out of control before I actually notice. UGH. So I'm back on track but a bit upset that I allowed that to happen. I will actually be a few days late on a swap and I just don't do that kind of thing. This is upsetting to me. I don't like that. I'll get myself caught up I know I will but I don't like letting people down. Poor me.

Ok I'm done feeling bad for myself. Today is a great day and its beautiful outside. I am working on getting my son caught up for his second week in kindegarten. He has alot of paperwork that has to be filled out so I'm working on coming up with a plan for organzing things. Once I'm organized it goest alot better.

Its fun to see him be so grown up. Having him go to kindgarten wasn't hard for me. I hear how mom's cry and are so sad about it but it wasn't that way. I think it has to do with mind set. I've always known we were only having one so I found that exciting day, just that exciting. I can't wait to see what the next year brings us.
