Today, my oldest daughter has come home to stay with us for a while. She brings along my precious Emily, who is 7. Sarah has just gotten out of a very abusive relationship and needs to start over. Mike and I will help her, but I insist that she help herself too. The big question right now is are Mimi and Pama Mike ready for a not so empty nest......
I must admit that I LOVE my empty nest!!!! I know people have trouble with it being too quiet and sad, I don't get it.... I love that everything stays where I put it and doen't get "borrowed" never to be seen again. I love that I don't have to hide my candy and I love the quiet!!!!!
Time will tell how this works out but I will do anything for my kids and we will survive!
On the knitting front, I'm still working on Christmas presents. sigh Last night I showed my mom her unfinished scarf and she loves it! I just started the second skein of Malabrigo today and I probably have about 2 1/2 to 3 feet more to go. I need to order some Navy worsted for my stepdad's scarf, I'm waiting for the Yarnathon at EatSleepKnit.com to reset the mileage for 2009. I have to block my stepmother's scarf and I've decided to frog and restart my father's. It's just to wide and it will send my OCD into overdrive if I don't fix it.
For laughs, I just joined a Christmas 2009 group on Ravelry. I really need to finish Christmas 2008 but I'm trying to be optimistic about it.
Hopefully, I will be able to load some pics tomorrow from my new camera.
Til then, tata.

It's about time!!!
It's about time that I started this blog! I've been messing around with the layout and discovered that I am computer-stupid. I may have an IQ of 145, but I just can't figure out how to set this up....sigh. I wanted to put a link to EatSleepKnit but after an hour I still can't figure it out. It's hopeless,so I'm just going to start blogging and maybe someday I can find a small child to help me edit the layout.
I've been working on the Christmas gift for my stepmother, a scarf, and I'm proud to report that my craft ADD hasn't kicked in at all. I am surprised at how enjoyable I am finding working on it. I usually have moved on to at least three different projects by now, but this one has staying power!
HOW COULD SHE?????????
I'm watching 20/20 right now and I don't understand how Casey Anthony could have hurt that beautiful little girl. How could she throw her away like that? Why didn't she just leave her with her grandparents and go party her life away? There were so many other options......it's just mind-boggleing. I understand why the grandparents don't want to think that Casey did it. It would mean admitting that they had raised a baby killer, but worse, they would have to admit that Caylee is dead.... Hope is all they have...and that may be gone. What a waste.
Okay, crappy first post, I know. Hopefully, I will get better at this.
