I’m a bad blogger!!  I knew once I started learning all these crafts that I’d be here less.  Blame it on doc!  hehe  Yes, it’s been a little while but I’ve been a busy bee.  I finished my scarf and love it!  It’s much taller than I am and is so warm.  I’m going to work on fingerless gloves for my 11 year old next.  I’m scared – never done those and it’s more work than just straight stitching.  But, I think I can do it.  We’ll see.  I wonder if I’ll get them done before winter is over.  huh  I’m also working on learning the different embroidery stitches.  I got the coolest book – Doodle Stitching – and I can’t tell you how much I love it.  It is so easy to just pick up and do something creative.  My brain is already thinking about Christmas gifts for next year.  They will take a little longer to make than normal but I’m excited to do them.  The kids have really been keeping me running.  My middle two are busy with dance 3 times each week.  Peanut is 18 mths old now and is a ham!  He’s sleeping through the night as long as he’s not next to me.  I have to admit, I like it.  It’s nice to sleep all night again.  I miss him being a baby still but it’s nice to watch him grow and learn new skills.  I am starting to get the nudge for another though.  I’m trying to wait until next winter before hitting that road again.  I don’t feel finished.  I feel like I need at least one more.  Friends have always said they knew when they were done.  I just felt like their family was complete.  I’m not there yet.  Doc’s been staying busy at work and he’s keeping me busy with work at home.  We have been making several changes and getting the bugs worked out has been a challenge.  It’s all coming together and it’s fun to watch.  I miss being at the office though.  I had a lot of fun working with him all day and seeing the patients get better.  I was always the cheerleader and really got to know them.  I don’t know his patients anymore but I still get to hear their stories.  It’s hard to find your place when others do what you did.  I love my staff and they are awesome!  New stages are rough.  Ok, time to chat with my son then head to bed.  He’s really growing into a nice young man.  He still does those 11 year old weird things but he’s more agreeable these days.  I’m looking forward to him being a more grown up guy.  He’s an adult in a short body.  Weird but true.  Nite Nite.
