Trying to knit while being a referee to two boys ages 9 1/2 and 5.

I know, I know, it's been a while since my last post. I've have been just so busy lately. The soccer has stopped for the season. That's good. I don't think I could last one more week. It just got to be too much. Now the boys only have bowling and cub scouts. Although, as the assistant cub master, I'm am even more busy. I don't know why I volunteered. I am only the assistant but all the parents insist on calling me with all their problems. I don't know the answers. I keep telling them to call the cub master but they don't . I'm very close to stepping down. Soccer boy just really likes that I'm doing this so I guess I'll just have to stick it out.


Onto other news. My friend Terri and I went to The Museum of Science to see the exhibit Body World 2. It was fascinating! I thought I might have gotten grossed out, but I was totally wrong. It was the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time. Just trying to figure out how it was done was mind boggling. I just wish I had some pictures to show you but they don't allow cameras. I was tempted to take one with my phone but I didn't want to be asked to leave.

It was so nice to spend an entire day with an adult that I am not related to. We took the train into Boston. I was so relaxed. I didn't have to tell anyone to "cut it out" or "don't touch that". It was liberating. Yes, it had been a long time since I was out with friends. We had lunch and then took the train home. I so did not want to walk in my front door. I just knew the minute I got home the relaxing day would end. Boy was I right.


Anyway........

There has been some knitting going on here as well. I'm about 1/3 of the way done on the front of The Perfect Sweater. I had to stop to finish up a bag for a friend. It's gonna be a Christmas gift to her sister. I'm getting paid to make it. I am still in a little shock that someone is actually paying me. I didn't think I was that good. I'll have a picture of it as soon as I attach the handle. The one I have I don't like that much.


There is so much to to say but right now my hand is ready to fall off. Stupid Carpal Tunnel. I hate not being able to type or let alone write for any length of time. Guess I'll never be able to work in an office again.

Next up....Thanksgiving and more knitting pictures.
