Days of Summer


This week we have been enjoying a relief from the heat and humidity of the prior week. It's been nice to get outside to walk and play. I'm trying to enjoy my last weeks of maternity leave and not dread the return to work too much. I'm sure we could swing me not working, but things would be tight and I don't want to live paycheck to paycheck. At the same time I want to be with my two youngest as they grow too. It's very conflicting emotionally. Sigh........ I wish there was an easy solution. I am finding comfort in the fact that for now we have found an awesome sitter, who will be great with the kids. I guess that is the 'for now solution' until I figure out what I can do from home or we win the lotto! Just enough for me to pay off all debts and stay home until my kids are all in school!

In knitting news I have been working on the following and making some pretty good progress given I have two kids under two!! My KnitPicks order came today too! The new Toe Up Socks book by Wendy Johnson is wonderful!
