Shteeni's Knits Again!

Christine is still trying to find her groove

Confused and tired is the best I can describe the mood these days.
I used to be so much fun.  What has happened to me, is this a normal 30 yo thing?
There are days when I just give up.  I don't want to do anything, not knit, not play, not even breathe, sometimes.  It is getting so bad that I think maybe a psych eval is in order, especially with my family history.  Better to nip it in the butt than have everyone including me suffer.
I have finally uploaded some pictures...wanna see?
Look I got my sockapaloooza socks with great guilt (I am waiting for Mr. Clean to be home for a post office trip by myself...they are done and ready to go)  My pal was Michele.  And she is going to have a baby.  Go congratulate her and help her out with her yucky prego feelings!  Thank you Michele, I love them!  I am sorry I am so late on thanking you.  Maybe I can make you something baby related...if I get out of this horrible funk.  I love me some babies, I just don't like incubating them myself.
This is a progress picture of my pal's socks.  I made mine from Dani's Sunshine Yarns in Shamrock.  They really are pretty.  Just a plain ribbed sock.  I hope 1. Mr. clean gets his butt home early one of these days and 2. she likes them!

It's my one and only yarn monster Gracie!

We had a craft swap at my house.  What fun.  My kids hoarded what was left over.  I tried to tell them I was trying to get rid of stuff not get more...but they wouldn't listen.

Eva and Gracie...Mama takes out the camera and it's all smiles :)

Well, that's it for now...Toodles!

I just can't help myself...

So I just had to join the quiz thing
Must. Clean. House. Today.
Tomorrow is the Hat City Scissor Squad Craft Swaptacular!  And it is here!  Mr. Clean is happy because he will gain a clean house.  What do y'all want for drinks???
I finished my sockapaloooza socks...pics still need to be uploaded.  You know you can't have everything!
Mr. Clean has made it Happy Mother's Week!  He is being very nice.  He ordered stuff for me from Victoria's Secret by himself.  I must say I love the new Embrace bra! The girls seem a little perkier!  And he purchased the stuff I needed for Scout's Ghetto Warping Board, now to just get him to put it together for me :)
I haven't really been myself, hence the not posting.  To be honest, if I could get away with staying in bed, I probably would have.
But I have stuff to do!!!
T is vomitting, must go make him do it in the garbage or bathroom, otherwise I will be joining him!
TTFN

I can't seem to help myself

I so want to make Green Gable... really bad.  Here is why I can't right now.

1.  I must finish the Give a Little Socks.

2.  I must finish Sockapaloooza socks.

3.  I have NO MONEY!  (I just paid for that ticket...ouch)

4.  Mr. Clean will surely kick me out of my house, if I accumulate any more stash.

5.  I have NO TIME as it is.

Please ignore this post, it really is a reminder to me that I can't handle anymore projects!

Wow, it's been a while

Lots of stuff happening here.

Gracie is 1 today...more on that later...

I believe I am missing some emails... I will find them today and try to respond by evening...sorry for any inconvenience.

My brother-in-law passed on Friday so I have been trying to stick close to home, in case Mr. Clean's sister needs us.

I am still working on the Give a Little Socks.  I think I have gotten it by golly!  I didn't think it would be as hard as it was to make a pair of socks from a different weight yarn.

It looks like I need to find a job with health insurance!  Anyone know of any?

That's it for now!

Later more on Gracie!

Yep, lots going on in Chez Shteeni

Last night, just plain fun...except for the fruit flies.  Michelle and I sang GNR Patience.  Fun was had!  D (the eldest was there to cheer Mom on and of course knit).  Sarah seems to be getting out of the I want to kill everyone phase of quitting smoking!  Yay. Jennie brought in her fun fur Davey Crockitt hat...too funny. And Annie (still blogless) is knitting some beautiful Koigu socks!

A the second child is home sick again (since Monday and she seems to be getting progressively worse, which means the ick will be visiting a cranky shteeni near you soon).  I fed her some mint tea with honey and it seems to be breaking some of the stuff up.

Gracie is just so cute, I could kiss her all day.

And there is more, I am sure... just can't get the old brain to function.
