Being Eaten Alive my Small Humans
If you've been wondering where I've been, I've been slowly tortured by small hairless monsters masquerading around as my children. Right now my head is pounding, I am counting the second till J. comes home and I can start my Irish celebrations.
Between the screams, yells, squeals, and crying--I've been driven to distraction--my mother and sister are also coming the first week of April--so I have major house cleaning to do. So, Tuesday and Wednesday I was cleaning my bedroom--somehow the kids interpreted this to mean--let's go poke around mom's bedroom and see what we can destroy!! (Sorry but my children provoke the overuse of exclamation points).
Whatever Lorelei got into was eclipsed by what Micci thought would be a fun game. He found my respectable yarn stash (yeah the lovely lace weight wools, silks, alpacas, and other weight natural fibers. He took a green sock yarn and burgundy (it's called black cherry heathered) worsted weight yarn and made a spider web through out my bedroom and bathroom. Here I thought I was going to have a leisurely night--full of knitting--after all Jamey volunteered to figure out dinner. Instead I spent minutes untangling yarn from around my nightstand, bed, dresser, bathroom closet door knob, a the laundry tower, shower curtain rod, water closet door knob--all of which was wrapped several times... And I haven't even got the worst bit. Phisto asked why I didn't take pictures--well my bathroom is a mess, but the worst of it--well pictures would constitute yarn snuff. Mic had opened a hank of alpaca and silk lace wight and I guess tries to make a spider web out of it, but couldn't because it instantly became a horribly knotted mess.
It took me and Jamey from 7 pm to 1 am and 10 am the following morning to 4 pm to untangled and rewind the entire 440 yards of yarn. I didn't eat--I didn't drink--I didn't do anything, but untangle and unwind yarn. Phisto also said she wouldn't have bothered and would have just tossed out the mess. Well I LOVE this yarn--so that just wasn't an option.
Friday wasn't too bad since we were out and about all day--today they just seemed to be little monsters--hitting, biting and screaming at each other.
