Funkee

There's no doubt about it, I am a slacker-extraordinaire. I can turn any job into a day-long project (or more!) and sit on my behind and watch the clock tick rather than actually get started on a project that I am just so-so on.

Good thing I'm homeschooling the kids, eh?

Yeah, I laughed too. But as the bumper sticker said, Life is too short to spend it sitting in public school. And I agree. Especially since I don't have to work (I should be earning some dough if we actually wanted a savings account, but that's another story) the kids can be here learning at their own pace (which is generally accelerated) and they can spend the day loving life...in the form of legos, because that's what they like to do. Although, I do think its a good idea to get them down to our cooperative garden a bit more...theres a nice big field to run in and a great path to walk where there are few cars...like none.

So what is a Mommee like myself to do with her off time when the kids are playing legos? Knitting and writing...on top of the managing of the house (bills, shopping, laundry, dishes, vacuuming, cleaning...yeah. Like I do any of that!) Seriously though, I am ready for some words to flow out...and some knitting would be nice. How do all these chicks on the blogs have time to create such gorgeous knits (WendyKnits...I am speaking to you!)? I could wax on about it, but I would probably say things that were out of line and mean, so I won't. But the mittens rock and I want to make things like you do...So I am going to...just as soon as I finish Maeg's socks...which will hopefully be sometime before next spring.
