I finished my very first knit-along project! Considering how many dishcloths I've made this year, it's a wonder that I hadn't knitted a picture cloth until now. It was fun, I may have to go looking for more picture patterns. I LOVE the Bernat organic cotton! Compared to the Lily Sugar'n Cream that I normally use, it's wickedly soft. The bad news is that Bernat has a very limited choice of colors so I'll have to keep an eye out for other organic cotton yarn.
Bess has been sick the last 3 weeks. The first two was the flu, this last week it morphed into pneumonia. I swear, I don't think I've ever seen her that ill without being in the hospital. She really suffered, it was hard to see her in so much pain. I'd forgotten how painful your back gets with pneumonia. :*( Thanks to the miricle of antibiotics, she's feeling better. I'm glad I had the doctor talk to her about activity once she's feeling better. Because recovery time can be slow and relapse due to over exertion is a real possibility, she's under orders to take it easy and stay home at least another week.
I have to share these pics!
Bunny Cupcakes
(yep, I made these)
Breakfast with Grammy
Geez, it's been a busy week!
Sunday was my sorority chapter's monthly social, combined with our Valentine Queen social. We entertained the lovely ladies from another chapter and had a great time playing Bingo then having lunch. I made my famous (within my family, I really don't know any real people ;-) ) lasagna, we had two salads and cake for dessert. Has anyone out there ever had Ramen Salad? *shudder* It was gross! I was still pretty sick with the cold/flu from hell, but I got through it without incident.
The next morning, I slept until 11am because the boys stayed home. I knew I was short on sleep plus sick, which had to be a bad combination. I just didn't realize how much I needed to sleep in. I felt SO much better that day!
Up early Tuesday, still no boys. Got a lot done in the way of housework, and believe me, after being sick for so long, there was plenty to do!
Top off the sickies with one more morning to sleep in and I was good as new. WOO HOO, I feel great! Not 100% but good enough. Wow, it's good to feel good again! Wednesday ended on an unpleasant note with R having some issues at home that prompted her to ask me to pick up the kids and keep them over night. When we got back here and were pulling off coats, J said "It's good to be home!" -- awwww, just melt my heart! I'm glad he feels comfortable enough to feel like this is also home.
Thursday and Friday were busy, busy, busy with all three little guys. Poor Dave got struck with one of those evil 24 hour stomach viruses, he was one sick puppy! We had so much fun playing Candy Land Thursday night. The kids were just precious and so funny. The babies went home last night (yeah, it ended up being a two night stay), I miss them and am anxious to hear how they're doing. When Ry picked up O to go home, he started to cry... he wanted me, his bestest Grammy. Poor S did not want to leave and his tears were just pitiful. He walked down the walkway sobbing, then turned back to me, waving and sobbing goodbye. Suddenly, his arms went up and he was running back to me. Such a sweetie-pie. J held it together, but he was sad to leave too. I love them so much, it makes me feel so good to feel their love in return.
Today has been all about doing nothing. Played on the computer, watched some TV, fixed breakfast at 2:00 in the afternoon. How sweet it is! And quiet!
