it's been a while since i last blogged and i have lots to say yet at the same time don't. hence more scrapple.
ravelympics is done for the year and all i have to show is 2 medals for my hats. i maybe got an inch of sock done in 2 weeks time. what did i do during the competition? knit dishcloths. lord knows why. 2 ball bands and a sunflower rag courtesy of the M-D ladies. started another baby kimono, another sunflower dishcloth. i have no idear why i'm hung up on dishcloths now. not much of a challenge there (although the sunflower, with using 3 yarns, crochet and picking up stitches was a challenge). i wish i knew why i have such an adversity to my socks right now. i better get over it real quick tho - kdo is in a few weeks and my morning class is about socks!
the other thing i've been doing lately is reading. i go in spurts like that. read and knit, knit and read. unfortunately i can't do both a the same time.
this weekend hubby and dad should hopefully be putting up the roof on the garage. it scares me a bit tho. i don't want them to fall off.
my neighbors are so entertaining. last week i was working on the computer when i heard commotion next door and saw my neighbor WITH A COP. so i sat by the window and eavesdropped. pretty soon C&Y was called. this totally freaked me out. this in the neighbor who rides his bike with his newborn in either a snuggly or a bike seat, and they PUT THE BABY IN A WALKER. i couldn't tell what was going on, but the caseworker came and was there for only a few minutes, so either it was a bullshit referral or she's already acquainted with the family. i know it's none of my business, but the whole thing upset me. this kid has a bunch of kids with lord knows how many baby mamas. as far as i can tell, he doesn't work. i can only guess who's paying for this baby (namely us the taxpayers which really pisses me off). it's like these people never heard of abortion or adoption. why have a baby when you can't take proper care of it? call me snooty, but we're a good family, church going, do the right thing, and we lose babies...and why trash like that is allowed to multiply. i cried, had my 5 minute pity party, then moved on.
on top of that, aunt flow paid me a visit this weekend. i guess i half expected it but i didn't becos i thought i was pregnant - crampy, big heavy boobs, nausea, excessive salivation. maybe my brain's punking me. but it hurt. the good news is we get to try again.
hubby's newborn cousin is really sick. lost a lot of weight, had high sodium levels. apparently a kidney issue and the doctors are figuring out how to treat her. it's really sad.
what's sadder yet is how my inlaws made such a fuss over the situation. they showed more care and attention to them than they did to us when we had our loss. i don't understand. i prolly never will. that's how they are, and as hubby said, "that's why we didn't tell them our good news in the first place." nuf said.
i also don't understand this - how a minister can throw someone off a church roll without following the rules. the pastor at hubby's church wants to kick his family out of the church. i don't know how they can do that as we've tithed and sent communion notices to the church. we don't know if the pastor has an agenda or somebody(s) on church council does. at any rate, it really stinks. and it just shows how unchristian that congregation is. hubby joked that he's tempted to send a buck to church (that's all you really need to do which is shameful but A LOT of parishoners do it) and show up at a service. i know at my church you have to either tithe or communion, it's either or not both. we already did contribute (to a woman's memorial) and all hubby has to do is send a communion card this sunday from my church. they CANNOT kick someone out when they've followed the rules. but i've come to admit that everyone adjusts the rules to fit their agenda - the government, the church, people in general. it sucks.
i can't think of anything else to write. i'm in the middle of doing wash and waiting for lowes to bring the roofing materials. i'm chomping at the bit to tell my folks the church gossip but i'll wait until dad gets here for the delivery. today is the boy's last day of summer. tomorrow he starts school he has **18** kids in his class this year, up from 12 last year. i can't get over how quickly the summer went. it wasn't a bad summer but i've had better. in a way i'm glad fall is here since we can get a fresh start - with the baby, with family, with the house, with everything.
