Happiness.

Well, I have not knitted in a week. I have lots of projects going but I just haven't been motivated. This past weekend was very busy so that is my excuse. :-)

The weekend was great though. We went to a Milwaukee Brewers game on Saturday and they actually won. My dad got a signed ball from Bob Uecker. He thought that was the greatest thing. On Sunday we had our parish picnic and spent the day with friends. Very nice day.

On a not so happy note, my hubby left for a work trip for two weeks. :-( The good part of this is that we will be able to continue with our acupuncture treatments for our fertility issues when he gets home. Plus, we will have the money to finish our basement. We were hit by the floods in June of 2008 and have not had the money to remodel until now.

With him being gone, I will get lots of knitting done and hopefully lots of cleaning too. I will post pictures tonight of the game and my latest projects.

When it rains, it pours!

Well, my computer at home crashed this morning. I have lost all my pictures and everything else. I know, I know. I should have backed it up. I sent the hubby to get a new computer today. Add this to the list of things I can't afford.

On a plus note, my friends are adopting a baby and he was born yesterday. Baby Evan is here! We are going to see him tonight. I have to finish knitting is blanket on the way there. She took a picture of him wearing the flame hat I knitted last week. I will post it as soon as I get a copy.

I am lining my knitting projects up for the next two weeks as my DH is leaving for work for that long. 16 days of uninterrupted knitting, although I suppose I will have to clean the house sometime in there. Too bad I couldn't have taken a couple days off of work and really enjoyed the alone time. I will miss him though. Our house seems huge when he isn't there.

Gotta go. Parent orientation is starting and I have to tell them not to forget to pay their bills.

Have a great day!!!

When is it my turn?!

I know this is my first post but I am in a sad mood today. My DH and I have been trying to do acupuncture to have a child. The trying to have a baby thing has been going on for 7 years now. Anyway, as usual we don't have money to continue with the process. I'm tired. Tired of trying to figure it all out, tired of trying to find the money, tired of trying to meet the needs of everyday life. I see these mothers doing drugs while they are pregnant, seeing kids used as pawns for adults to get what they want, 14 year olds getting pregnant with ease. When is it my turn?! When does it get easy for me? When do I get to be happy without struggling. I'm tired. I'm cranky.

Next question, I have to ask myself. How do I fix it?

Talk to you tomorrow.
