Busy doesn't even cover it

Wow. I'm not even sure how to begin.

School ball season is over, club has begun. The traveling all over the lower half of the state soon begins. Knitting projects are ready to tote and get dusty. Hope all this great weather holds. Spring ball and I do not get along. Note to self: put good chairs in trunk!!!!

Swim club has also begun, the traveling all over the lower half of the state soon begins. :D Note: Most of the weekend dates do intersect, however, locations do not. Figures. My car does still remember how to get to the pool. Imagine that. Camps kick in soon, and I don't think any of us are ready. Of course, the WASHING MACHINE would have to be working for a lot of the prep work to occur. Again, big surprise.

Speaking of the washing machine, I am amazed at how well we are doing at choosing what to wear, knowing that nobody wants a repeat trip to the laundry mat. I am also going to cry when i realize how much stuff needs to be washed. This may be the biggest ever backlog. Good thing everybody knows how to use both machines as it will take a family to wash/dry/fold us out of this hole.

Uncle Sam has kept me hopping and popping. I'm not getting lots of hours, but the times are broken up into 2 - 3 segments. We all know that my life needs more stopping and starting. I'm enjoying the job. I love the people on my crew that I have met. What a fantastic group of ladies. Special Kudos to my crew leader. I think I've met the most tenderhearted woman on this planet. When I was in training, I was worried about not having my trainer, and who I was going to get as my boss. Talk about needless worrying. I couldn't have drawn a better straw.

I ripped a stitch in the sassy skirt yesterday. Shit. That means I'll be pulling her out 2/3 of the way again and reknitting. I have ideas for improvement, so that helps. I really do like how this skirt looks and feels or I wouldn't bother! I'm also working on a black one. Progress on that one is SLOW due to the tight gauge. (thinner yarn, more stitches, LOTS more time) I'd really like to get that one done (she still remains nameless - yep, taking suggestions) before I leave to take Dee to the Mizzou camp.

In 2 weeks, I'll have one gone at camp and a visitor. I sure hope this house decides to clean itself, cos I have no idea how it's going to get done. Actually, I'm sure it won't get all the way done. I've looked at my calendar. It's stock full ---- til the end of July. At least I'm not going to be BORED this summer. Farthest thing from it, actually.

I've met my whopping goals today. It was procrastination paperwork day. I've paid bills and filled out more forms than I care to remember. Tomorrow I have to remember to go to the post office. I also have plenty of Census work to do. Never mind the regularly scheduled stuff! YEAH!!! LOL.

Damn, I'm exhausted just remembering all of that. I think it's time to go knit. If I don't rest up today, who knows when the next break will come.
