Hello all, yes I know, I've slacked on my blogging, knitting, housework, EVERYTHING! It is due to a house full of germs!!!!!! I blame the germs!!!! It all started coming back from a great camping trip with a scratchy throat. Tim and I both had a little cold. Well of course, it spreads it's disgusting way through the house and reaches Ava first. She has been sick going on 2 weeks. I got better really fast. Tim had his for a week. NOW, I have it again! And poor little Emma does too. I'll tell you what, I'm SICK of being SICK!!!! I want these germs gone!!! They are NOT welcomed in my house. When I felt better for a couple days, I cleaned the whole house thinking that would get rid of the nasty things and refresh it all......NO, all it did was make me sick again...ridiculous!
We took a trip to the Dr. yesterday and got Ava on some antibiotics, since she has had it a long time, maybe that will help. I hope we all don't have to end up making that dreaded trip (crossing fingers).
I have started a child's sock. I'm winging it from the book, Sensational Knitted Socks, Peggy, so graciously let me borrow.....thanks Peggy :) I have made mistakes, I know, but I think I've finally gotten to the point that as long as it resembles a sock, then I'm fine with it. I'm still the Knitting Apprentice and can't frog it back to my mistake, or even notice my mistake until I've already knit 2-3 rows past it. I'm the kind of knitter that leaves it or frogs the whole thing, and I'm not about to frog this sock again, lol!
In other news, the other day Ava and I encountered a SNAKE in the backyard under the steps. I think I almost had a heart attack. I HATE SNAKES! Spiders I can handle, but NOT snakes, poisonous or not. I hate 'em! We ran back up the steps, literally dragging Jax by the neck with the leash. We were all freaked! I got a good look at it, from behind the glass door of course, once we went back inside. It looked like a brown snake or a garter snake , according to the internet, but I'm still not taking any chances. We haven't been in the backyard since. I really wish I had the guts to have gotten rid of it because it was gone by the time Tim got home. Emma said, "Mommy, I hope it doesn't get in the house like the one at Gammy's did." I had terrible dreams all night and have been checking corners of the house since.
Emma's school had their first Open House last night. Even though we were sick, we had to go. I wasn't about to miss seeing all the wonderful things she has been working so hard on. I forgot the camera, dang it, but at least got to see all of her drawings and such. She made a face that looked like her and brought in her favorite Princess T-shirt, that they put in her chair. It was very cute. Then she had a little "me" book she had made. It said what she liked, taking pictures with family...what she was scared of, sleeping in her room without the TV on, lol. Nope I can't leave it on just cause I feel sorry for her, people, she'd stay up all night. Her teacher's assistant, Mrs. Brown, said she had a wonderful personality and that she always has a cute story to tell her husband about something Emma said when she gets home. She said the other day, they were talking about swimming and Emma said, "Well, are we talking about one of those pools that are stuck to the ground or that you blow up?" We both had a good laugh. She seems to be doing great. I'm a very proud momma :)

Sorry to hear about the sickness and the SNAKE!!!!! Ugh. David still turns the light on in the bathroom every time he goes during the night!!! Whimp. :) I can't wait to see Emma Belle, I've missed her so much and hearing the story and seeing that sweet little picture of her and Ava make me miss her that much more.
Oh, and I think the sock looks great!!!!!!
I am with ya on the snake issue. I HATE them. You will notice lots of sickness now that Emma is in school. That is one of the reason some people choose to home school.
Another sock, you are up on me.
Hey, I saw your finished sock on Sonya's blog. Man, it looks great!!!!!
In response to the comment you left on my blog - Lady in Black. You know, I think you are the only person I know that I know for sure can use her eyes for "the look" as good, if not better than me!!!!! Comes in handy doesn't it?
