Not dead yet!

Finally graduated (With honors!) and really thought that I would have more time to you know, do stuff.  WOW! I was wrong.  I have zero time.  Cause I have to do all the things that I have flat out ignored for the last few years as I struggled to do it all on my own.
So I finally went through the baby's clothes; except the part when I don't have a baby cause hes THREE now.  But there are no longer any 6-9 month pajamas in his dresser.  And my clothes (gained a bit of weight while I was struggling with everything and didn't have time for exercise).  And the dudes.
Then on to the kitchen (decided that I would start at one end of the house and go room by room.  5 boxes of stuff to the shelter.  And gave small appliances to friends.   Finished fixing the grout that was messed up in the glass tile (that I installed) and rearranged for better flow.
Today it was the little dude's time to have his room redone.  He decided that he was a big boy and didn't need to have a toddler bed any more.  So I took one of the little beds out of the spare room and gave the crib/toddler bed to a friend that is expecting and spent a few hours cleaning his room.  almost half way done.
such a big boy now.  I'm working on making the  nursery go away and a little boy room happen.  Might take a bit, but I'll get it done.
Still knitting.  Working on really messing up a project and hopefully making the mistakes into a beautiful wonderful shawl for a gift-mas gift.  I know that the recipient will be all 'I GOT A SHAWL!" but I still want it to be a pretty one.  and work.  and high school for the big dude.  and he bought himself a bass last year with all of his christmas money (and a 20$ loan from mom) and he is all band now.  Working on making a garage band with his friends.
It will get easier.  every day is a day closer to husband getting home and life as a family starting again.
