Insanity Abounds

Ever have one of those weeks that just sort of spins out of control? It's felt a little that way this week for me. Probably the biggest factor in it all is getting adjusted to going back to work again. It's not many hours a week but it's still an adjustment having to be up, dressed and out the door several hours earlier than I've been doing for the past year or so..... or at least I haven't had to do it on a regular and consistant basis for a while.

The week started off pretty much on an even keel. We had Guild on Sunday and that is always fun! I felt like everyone enjoyed the meeting and we had a good showing on charity knitting again this month. I'm so proud of the awesome contributions to the charity knitting projects that the members are doing....it's just fantastic! I only managed to get 4 hats done this time...last week was sort of busy too.... And virtually nothing to show on other knitting this week. I picked some up last night, did about two rows and had to put it down...I was just flat too tired to knit!

Monday came and that is when things started getting insane! It began with work...my first "real" day on the job....ended up working 3 hours last week when when I went in to just talk about working...lol...but Monday was the first "official" work day. I am quickly discovering that the job itself is sheer insanity, but more about that later....just suffice it to say that I already know working for this person is going to be extremely stressful....I'm not promising how long I will stick with it...will depend largely on how much that person stays OUT of the office because I can see that NOTHING will be accomplished when she is there!

While there I got a call that my father-in-law (actually my ex's father....but I still consider both of them my in-laws...heck, in some ways they are more like my parents and I love them dearly) was put in the hospital in Texas with pneumonia in both lungs. He is really sick. My mother-in-law has Parkinsons and was diagnosed with bladder cancer last month. She is not even supposed to be driving because of the parkinsons and no one lives any where close by to help. Anyway, Amanda flew out Tuesday morning to go help them out this week. I took Savy & Dax yesterday, David took off work to watch them today and tomorrow since I'm working again those days and I'm taking Friday.

After watching the kids Tuesday, DH and I had to make a hospital visit Tuesday night to see our newest grandson!!! His name is Carter James and he came in the middle of the night Monday night. He decided to come a few weeks early so it was a surprise for all of us! He is 17.5 inches long and 5lb, 8 oz. soooo tiny...and soo cute! Here he is with his Daddy and Poppy.

Worked again this morning and have a dinner assembly session tonight, then tomorrow is work again and meeting David at Daxton's Dr. appt with the ear, nose & throat specialist tomorrow afternoon....then they are coming here for dinner and the kids are staying the night so I can watch them on Friday.

I had to laugh when I came in today......with such a hectic week going on I walk in to find someone else in the house who isn't the least bit concerned about what a crazy week I'm having......what is that they say about "a dog's life!" LOL!

I also found out that the June meeting I am hosting for one of my other interest groups is going to have to be held in a different place than it usually is!! Normally I would just have it at my house, but in June there is just no way!! DH's whole crew and their families are going to be in town, we have two grandson's with birthday parties and Savy has her dance recital.....ALL on the weekends....no way to get the house ready for an "event"! One of the other members has the meetings at her workplace a lot of the time so I'm hoping I can do it there.

At this age, I usually don't like to "wish" time away.....but after this week....I'm ready for Sunday!!! So far there is nothing going on on that day....crossing my fingers for a full sit-n-knit day!
