I thought this was a knitting blog

Will I ever knit again? What’s to become of Banff? Will I just shiver the whole winter long?

These are the questions I ponder as I am driving my kids all over God’s creation ….. along with:

Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad if Daughter #1 got her license. Is it really necessary for teenagers to have a social life? Why can’t they be happy staying at home? Perhaps if I got them a copy of R2 they would both be thrilled to sit with their Mom and knit all summer.

I also wonder what types of fabulous yarn I could have bought with all the gas I’m putting in the car.

Dear Readers, as you can see I have nothing to say about my knitting — there has been no knitting.

I shall regale you with the mundane facts of my day.

Got up early and met a friend at the track for a morning constitutional. The annual parade of poochies for checkups commenced today and I took two of the dogs to the vet. I am now suffering sticker shock. And it’s not over yet – the other two go tomorrow.

I go through this every year. Why am I continually surprised at how much it costs to keep a dog?

Perhaps I should spread the ‘joy’ throughout the year, taking one in every couple of months, thereby reducing the impact to four small blows rather than one large knockout punch.

For further excitement, today’s menu holds: grocery shopping, ironing (that something a bit ‘fibery’), vacuuming, cooking and kid schlepping ….

shall I post pictures?

  1. I love it that 2 of my 3 can drive! They can take themselves to work, return movies and library books, run for milk and bread; no more waiting for them to call or dropping something at a moment’s notice because they need to be somewhere. It’s not so bad.

    Yes, you will knit again.

  2. Groan, and I actually WORKED most of the day, writing proposals for my boss. Not even two weeks out from major surgery. Someone slap some sense into me.

    Yesterday I cooked dinner while the DH shlepped #2 to clarinet lessons. I even folded laundry and watered one of the flower beds. My career as a languishing princess draws rapidly to an end.

    I’m hoping to be cleared for driving and tub baths when I see the doctor tomorrow. That’s how exciting my life is right now. Oh well, off to languish in bed so I don’t look well enough to cook today.

  3. Once upon a time I had two big doggies. I remember less than fondly the vet visits. In my mind, I can still see me opening the back of the station wagon and trying not to get mowed down by them jumping out before I was ready for them. I think a knockout punch photo of you would be quite a treat for all of us readers. Yeah…pictures please. :)
