It's not fair..... (whine)! The morning is beautiful, the sun is out, and the kids go back to school...... you would think that would make me happy. But there will be no relaxing till 10 a.m.... no drinking tea all morning,.... no pleasant and leisurely morning showers..... it's wham... bam..... thank you m'am mornings again with Hubby cursing on the food processor as he makes potted meat sandwiches for lunches as I trip over him while I'm making breakfast. It's yelling daughters as they vie for space in front of the upstairs mirror which is really small when there is a huge mirror in the downstairs bathroom. It is dysfunction on all sides again.
I did manage to get several skeins done for my level 3 homework, during March break though.... and I am proud to say that I am half finished my level 3 homework. Yeah!!! I have one skein that I am determined to get finished today which I really tried hard to get finished before I went to bed last night but I had been working all day and I was really tired so I gave up and went to bed.... I have one single left to do for a 3-ply yarn and it is still that blasted cotton/wool that I was having so much with. I decided that the skein which I thought was going to work really didn't work at all so I gave up and started again.... this is now the 7th try. Sometimes skeins are like that.
I've started walking each morning in an effort to lose weight. My weight loss program has not been aided by all the Easter chocolate. It's just too easy to get my hands on. Walking each morning is lovely though. The fresh air in your lungs... the vibrant colours and the bright light help to get you going.
Hubby and the girls just went out the door and all is quiet. CJ is coming this morning for some spinning and chatting, some lunch and maybe a trip to the Thrift Store for a little poking about. We will see. I enjoy these days and I usually want some mindless spinning to do so I will be working on my old friend the big j.c. Will I ever get that stupid thing done?!!! Oh yes.... it is coming right along. I'm plying weft today and then,... oh yeah.... I'm finished the spinning. And it is weave weave weave... all the way. Put the thing together and I'm done..... woo hoo!
Meanwhile Tootsie the wonder chicken herder bummed up his leg last night chasing his ball around the yard after it showed up semi frozen in a snow bank as the snow melted, so I have to carry him every where. Pinecone the crazy cat is sneezing like crazy, (I wonder if cats are allergic to mildew which might be in the hay after all winter). The sheep are looking like it won't be long before we are pulling lambs again. Yup.... it's spring!
So a day ahead full of things to do, friends to chat with, and it's sunny too..... how very lucky am I! There's much to be grateful for.... don't you think?..... Aren't you glad that the end is not really here, and that it's only the end of spring break......
