Rejuvating?
This was a nice weekend--I feel fully capable of taking on this upcoming week...and all the housecleaning in front of me. L. came by on Saturday, ignoring the deplorable mess, and sat and knitted with me for a few hours. She is so awesome! L. and her time with me was my oasis in a day that was rather terrible and harsh (much like a desert). Later, we Jamey came home we packed up everybody (and a can of Guinness) and went off to watch the first Silver Stars game of the season at V.'s house (she who has NBA TV and a big screen TV). The kids feel asleep in the car and they KEPT sleeping after we got there---so after I got a few gulps of my Guinness down, life seemed so much better. We ate some great food (kids still slept), and talked and watched WNBA retropectives while we all waited for the game to start.
The game was a complete bust and it was so embarrassing, but I got to knit and when the kids did wake up they were delightful and utterly unlike themselves. I brought my Clapotis to knit on---it's a lovely pattern but it doesn't look remotely like what its supposed to be. When asked, I told everyone it was a wrap...mainly I got a cocked eyebrow, "Really?" Late last night I got to the first drop stitch....so slowly it's coming together.
Today, Jamey and I had a lie in. It was bliss--the kids even refrained from destroying the living room. L. husband, C., was totally my hero because he mowed the jungle that we were trying to pass off as our front lawn. Jamey's knee has been bothering him a lot since he started physical therapy--so the lawn has been beyond him. As for me: HA--I am taking my Doctor's advice, when I can get a Israeli issued gas mask THEN I'll mow the lawn (seriously THAT's what she said). We went on errands in the afternoon--in search of new work pants for Jamey--he keeps wearing out the crotch. Then we went to the park and let the kids loose...I am hoping this will provide a LONG, restful sleep for the tyrants of my heart.
We'll see what tomorrow brings, eh?
