Do-over

Well, that was something! Since I was here last, every member of the family--parents included--was leveled by this mystery bug. There were lots of naps, lots of quiet play, lots of ginger ale and saltines, and lots and lots of laundry. (There was also a little knitting and reading, of course.)

I'm calling this week my do-over week, because I really didn't get the whole "first week back" experience I was looking for last week. I got the house un-decorated and partially clean just in time for the patients to arrive. Yesterday was full of changing sheets and disinfecting bathrooms, and I'm feeling much better about the state of the house.

I did finish my last birthday sweater last night. I just have to wash and block it before I share. Caroline has a birthday party on Saturday, and I am behind on my last Sew Connected block, so I think this week I'll be bringing the sewing machine back out. I look forward to getting re-acquainted with my old friend.

glad everyone is feeling better. I think you deserve a do over week. when sickness strikes everything gets put on hold. can't wait to see your birthday sweater.

glad you're all feeling better. washing all the bedding is truly the worst part of having sick kiddos. Can't wait to see what you sew. And yet another sweater - you are quick!

DO over week sounds like the best idea of the year!

I am going to try this.

Glad that everyone is on the mend.
