I tried but here I am

I know I said I was going to post daily but as usual everyone else's schedule interfered with mine.  Monday was to be the husbands day off and he got called in and so combined with his full-time job and the part-time one, working that extra day put him at work for 16 days straight.  This has made my household schedule a bit tight, I planned on a quiet day on Monday for Brian's day off, so once he got called into work I spent my evening knitting on my current project of a scarf, fingerless gloves, and possibly a hat, the scarf is done and I am almost done with my 1st glove.  I also put together my list for Tuesday's errands had Jordyn & Charles (her best friend since 1st grade) to school by 11 and then ran over to Brian's pt job then to the bank and then FINALLY had my blood drawn that I had been supposed to do about 6 weeks ago, then onward to Michaels for new pumpkins for the outside Halloween decorations which they were out of what I wanted so decided to check the dollar stores and Tuesday morning all 3 were a no go so decided to check JoAnns they did some but the small ones were $25 each way more than I wanted to pay since I needed like 10 or 12. Then as I stood there they put them on sale 60% off so now that made them basically $10 each.  Picked up a few more items there and moved on to Target for what I cannot remember right now but do remember they were out of the shampoo the husband likes and his bottle was down to the dregs so not a good thing but onward I went to Winco grocery store and then to Costco and was back to school by 3:30 to pick up the kids. By this time with all the shopping the back end of the Expedition was completely full, on to home and while I was dreading the unloading process but by the time I got home I had 4 sets of hands to help (help unloading happens rarely) so got it all put away and made dinner. Brian worked a night shift on Monday and doublebacked to a day shift on Tuesday so he was home for dinner and was actually able to stay awake till about 10:30.  Wednesday I spent the morning doing some laundry and other household chores.  Jordyn & Charles got together about noon and spent the afternoon doing homework, Brian left for work about 3:30 spent my evening checking the kids school work and got some knitting in. This morning realized my alarm clock was broken and woke up about 25 minutes before we had to leave for school and I had to finish shopping for items that were out of stock on Tuesday or that I didn't have time to get to on Tuesday.  Made it home in time to see Brian for a few minutes before he left for work and I decided this was the night that I am skipping household chores and just going to knit and do my blog post.  I was going to tell you what tomorrow might bring but so far today the plans have been changed 3 times so far so I am no going to plan I am just going to wing it and see how far I get.  I will let you know how my Friday turns out.

Finally Back

I couldn't decide if I wanted to do this based on the fact that I was not sure exactly how much I want to share and I have come to realize that I cannot lay out completely what I am and am not going to share and just going to  have to weigh each aspect as it comes up.  The knitting has been coming along and not sure why but my speed has picked up I am still very slow but seems I am completely more projects than I have in the past.  Things have been very chaotic between 2 daughters in College and 1 in High School she is a junior and we were not happy with changes her high school and so we decided to change her schooling and it is partially homeschool program and she also attends regular style classes it has been a huge benefit to her academically but then it also feels like I am back in HS again also, since I am responsible for helping her get through the work I also choose a lot of her assignments and I am also responsible for grading and tests all of this is followed up every month by a credentialed teacher so I do have a safety net if needed (which I do regularly) but I have been holding my own. Another benefit of her school change is she only attends classes 2 days a week, but her school is about 35 miles  one way so it eats a lot of those 2 days a week and all this is before I even begin to deal with the Brian my husband and the regular household issues.  My husband CHOOSES to work nights 4pm to 2am which drives me nuts since he has the seniority to work days but I deal for 2 reasons 1 since he used to work 24hr shifts and now it is only 10hr shifts and he is home everyday, but then add to his full time job a part-time job that adds another 6 shifts a month.  The reason for the extra job is to pay tuition for 2 daughters in College and another getting ready very quick.  As I look at my previous postings I notice that they are all so long and think it is because I have posted erratically I am hoping that with trying to post everyday will help shorten them I am also going to try to keep each post mostly about 1 subject and then comment on the other things going on but have to wait and see. For now I am going back to my current knitting which is a pair of fingerless gloves that will match a scarf that is already finished, they will be for the youngest daughter Jordyn.  So we'll see how it goes.
