Is there a light?

It's just been one of those weeks, maybe months, well I guess it's been awhile. I just can't seem to get out of a funk. Nothing makes me truly happy and if it does, it just somehow gets knocked down. Not sure what it is, but I hope it goes away soon. Just want to get away from everything for a bit and come back for a fresh start, but that's just it. If I get away from it all, then I just have to come back to it and feel the same way.

Completely annoying and unsatisfying. I hope I will find my way soon.

My Girls

Brynn (5...almost 6) and Kenzie (almost 17 months)

Okay I'm bad

I've been neglecting my blog a bit. Lots going on with too little time. Girls are doing good. Brynn is still active in her taekwondo and Kenzie is growing like a weed. I've been staying busy with knitting and have had many requests for monsters, so busy making those as fast as I can, so I can actually do some "enjoyable" knitting for gifts, etc. :)

So little time

Been a bit since I've posted as I've been busy with life and knitting. Speaking of knitting, it seems like I have so many things planned that I want/need to knit and I am having issues prioritizing it all. Been busy with monsters to knit for people by a certain time (my own personal deadline). This is just a busy time with Easter and all and I'm getting orders from others for monsters, etc. It's also a busy time of year for birthdays and babies being born, so it seems like it's never-ending.

Not complaining at all, I just think that I want to do way too much all at once. Hoping for a lull in the knitting after Easter, but I'm sure I'll keep busy at it.

Girls are doing well and Brynn is staying busy with taekwondo and that makes mommy and daddy busy as well. 2 tournaments in the next 3 weeks makes for a lot of time spent at taekwondo. I am volunteering at one of the tournaments, so that is going to take some time, but I think that I will really enjoy it.

Enjoying my weekend

The weekend started off on a good note with Brynn spending some time with Daddy as they went to see Gnomio and Juliet. They both enjoyed it and it was nice to have some one on one time with Dad. :) Kenzie and I ran some errands and met my friend Sara and her baby, Sam, at the mall to do a bit of shopping. I was able to get some spring/summer clothes for myself and for the girls, and it was nice getting some alone time with Kenzie and with a close friend. :)

Today, I am going to get some grocery shopping done and then meet my friend, Liddy, for lunch at PF Changs. She turned 30 this past week, so it will be nice to get together with her and finally get to see her baby bump as she is pregnant with their 2nd child, and it's a boy! Anyways, it's been a great weekend so far and I'm ending if on a good note. Hoping I'll be ready for the busy week ahead!

Super-Susan

I believe (as I know that many of you do) that people come into our lives for a reason. Whether it be for a good reason or a bad reason. One person who came into our lives just a little over a year ago, came in for a good reason. She gave us a safe home for our girls, field trips weekly to keep kids engaged, a love for reading that she shares with the kids she takes care of, and she gave us piece of mind that our children were going to be loved as if they were her own.

Through her, we also found out our oldest daughters love for taekwondo. She thrives in that environment and we never would have even known, especially since I was the one who wanted to put her in ballet. :)

This woman holds love in her heart for every single child she takes care of and is a gift to all of the families she has touched the lives of.

This person is Susan. She is truly a blessing and a gift for our family and our girls. McKenzie would rather be at Susan's any day than be with Mommy and Daddy, but we know the reason why and that's totally fine with us. :)

Agenda for President's Day

While most of my day alone will be spent knitting, I do have other things that need to get done while I don't have little feet following me everywhere I go.

*Wash all sheets
*Clean toilets
*Clean bathroom countertops
*Start on new pair of socks
*Start new monster

I'm trying to not go anywhere today, although I do need to go to Babies R Us to get more diapers and I also need to run to the grocery store for a couple of things. I'll probably do that right before I have to pick up the girls from day care though. Hope everyone has an amazing President's day! I know I will!

Weekend's Best

Brynn did such an amazing job at her taekwondo tournament this weekend. We asked her for strong moves...she did it. We asked her for no shyness...she did it. What did she get for it? What she always wanted...a trophy! She is so proud of her trophy and we are so proud of her!

Weekend's Best

Not really from this weekend, but from today...Valentine's day...these sweet girls are my Valentines for life.
