This morning was different however. The house was quiet. Three had spent the night at Grandma's, so around 9:30 I dragged my 13 yo out of bed and we went to pick them up. Two of them had a doctor's appt. so I took 2 to the doc and left 2 at my moms.
At 10:45, I'm standing next to the doc and my phone rings. It's my high school student calling from his cell phone with a frantic, "Where are you??"
"At the doctors... what's wrong?"
"I'm at home."
"Why did you come home.. what happened?"
"Nobody woke me up! I need you to take me to school!!"
This would pretty much sum up my week. Between doctor's appointments, vet visits, bomb threats, and football games, I feel like we've struggled to just cover our basics at home... but at least we had all made it to "school" each day. But today offered proof that my kids are doing no worse at home than they would be if I actually tried to send them all to school.
Feeling a little bit done in by the time we finally got home, I gave the boys some chores and let
them play some (educational) games. My Juliet is coming along and I think I'm really going to like it although the doubled Silky Tweed is starting to get a bit hard on my hands. So I made a quick trip to the LYS where I snagged a bag of GGH Aspen to make the above sweater from Knitting Classic Style... because, well, shoot... we'll just blame it on the bomb threat?

AFter a day like that, you deserve the Aspen, I think! Too funny.... no one woke me up! I think my oldest would be the same way without the younger kids. :0)
ha ha ha!!!
You two will always remember that!
Wow, what a day. We had a bomb threat too this week, what a rush. Just not a good one. Time to unwind with some good knitting. And maybe another cup of starbucks.
Yes, you do need a little solace after a week like that, yarn is cheaper than drugs. One time we were in a big ol' hurry to get out of the house to make it to church and as we were speeding down the road one of the kids piped up" where's Hope?" and we slammmed on the brakes and raced home,me thinking shes sobbing and scared to be left home, I think she was about 5, and when we got there she was sitting in her room playing and didn't even know we had left!
HAHAHAHAHA! That is great! So much for the leisurely slppeing in!
What a week...
Juliet is looking great! Oh, my - what a wild day! No one woke him up... he should use an alarm as backup for situations like these! Mom can't be expected to do everything and be everywhere at once : )
Juliet is looking good, love that color.
Hahaha, I wish my parents had forgotten to wake me up in the morning! I would have hid in my room all day :)
