Anyone Need More Time?

I don't know about you folks, but I cannot seem to find time lately for my knitting and spinning! Well for one, I never realized how much effort you have to put into Kindergarten. They have homework, a ton of papers you have to initial, you've got to make reading time, making lunches, mornings are crazy! I have, Ava, aimlessly running around without a care in the world, but trying to get my attention at the same time. I have Emma's daily routine, which isn't bad, but she just doesn't focus well with a 2 year old little sister wanting to play and have fun around her while she is trying to get ready. Then of course, Jax, who thinks every morning that something exciting is going on and he might miss it, so his nose is in everything. It's enough to drive ya nuts! And once we take Emma to school, you would think alright, now is time to get some things accomplished, but nooooooooo! I have to clean the house, usually do the never ending laundry, Ava is still tugging on my leg for attention, make food and fill a drink cup every 10 minutes, find time for a shower, find time for Ava's nap, then it's already time to pick up Emma and make supper! It just seems ridiculous that I can't work out a schedule and include some time for ME!


Here is how pathetic it is....I have only made a few dishcloths, barely started a baby blanket, frogged a sock for the girls 3 times cause I can't find a pattern, so I tried just making one myself, HA, what was I thinking? I did actually knit a cute change purse for my sister's b-day gift, but of course, didn't take a picture.



Does anyone have a pattern for a child's sock, age 3-5? I have this cute Tofutsie yarn and two girls wanting some socks knitted by their momma! Please help!

Hey at least she stays at school later than 2:45. But I know what you mean. It is hard to get anything done. And I only have dogs under my feet.

Well, you know you really haven't been at the "routine" long enough for it to get "routine." :) But, yeah, life it crazy. Hey, it's crazy for me and I no longer have little ones. I still have babies but they aren't little. Your knitting looks great. I'm sure I have a child sock pattern around here, I send it. How'd you like the jam?
