Do As I Say

As I was sitting here getting ready to post, K comes in and attempts to take my drink. I kindly told him that he was not supposed to drink next to the computer because I didn't want him to spill it. No sooner than he walked out did I do exactly what I didn't want him to do. Classic do as I say, not as I do.

Me spilling kinda sums up what it has been like lately. My mind has been wandering in a thousand different directions and as a result I become clumsy. I know I just need to take some time and focus. Easier said than done.

One of the things that has been on my mind is B starting kindergarten tomorrow, then in two weeks K will be in pre-school for two days per week. I am just having a hard time with the whole thing. Afterall, I have been their main caregivers for the past five years.

I joke that the first day I will cry, the second I will stalk the schools, and by the third day I will probably throw a party.

When I first started B in pre-school two years ago. I had him in two days per week, then three the following year. In my mind I thought that the gradual transition from two to five days would be the best thing for him. You know ease him into the whole school thing. I think I was actually easing myself into the whole school thing.

I still have my knitting though. I got this awesome Garterlac Pattern from Dave. I have always liked entrelac and have always wondered what it would look like in garter stitch, but was too lazy to figure out a pattern for myself. It was such a fast knit.

Oh, that is Icarus under the dishcloth. The pins are out, but it has just been sitting there waiting for someone to take pictures of it. Soon I hope.
