For the last few days, coffee has been my best friend. I have been so sleep deprived that I really haven't been doing anything. O.k. I have been knitting, but that doesn't take up to much energy. Why haven't I been sleeping you ask. Well, it's along story that I'm still too tired to get into but I will give you the just of it.

It started when we sent out first son to school. The district cut off for the school down the street from us is the house next door. My house is in the corner. You can see where I'm going with this. Needless to say that soccer boy(the oldest) is in the school. Now, 5 years later we are going through the same thing with the younger one, i'll call him actorboy. The problem this time is the woman who makes the list has waited until yesterday to let us know he was in. School starts in 2 weeks! At one point she told us he was ninth on the waiting list and there were only six spots open. Oh, did I forget to tell you we called her the day registration opened? How could he be ninth? There is other factors into why I'm so peeved but I can't explain them because they are kind of sneaky.

So, now that it is over, I can fall asleep earlier than 3 a.m. and not need a gallon of coffee during the day to keep me awake. Today is the first time all week that I woke up rested.

In knitting news, I've finished a ballband for the MasonDixon swapcloth. I can't show it 'til after I send it. I almost have my replacement kimono finished. It is looking better than the first one. I'll pictures of all my stuff once my eyes get used to being open.
