Eventually, right?

I ought to be at Sensational Kids with Matthew right now, but I had to call in and ask for a later appointment. Matthew is um... in the middle of his business, and when you wait five days to DO your business, it becomes a time-consuming and uncomfortable process. He'll get it eventually, right?

Christopher is at school. He's doing very well there, aside from being teased by the other boys. His teacher seems to have a handle on it, and Chris is doing SO very well at controlling himself when it happens. I'm pretty darn proud of him. He's no longer going to Sensational Kids, because the school is giving him OT, PT and speech. Nice to know that our taxes are going to SAVE us money in at least one department!

Matthew's birthday is Saturday. Hard to believe he's going to be four! He's really starting to shoot up in inches. He put on a pair of last year's long pants yesterday and sported the "high water" look for awhile.

I'm working hard at work. My current count is 13 kids. 8 on Mondays, 4 on Thursdays and 1 on Fridays. It's pretty fun work. I have a range in ages from 5 to 17, so each half hour is something different.

I also have a lot going on, knitwise. Working on a few potential Christmas gifts, and some socks. I made a circle vest out of some lovely Noro Taiyo. I hate it. I'm going to frog it eventually when I'm not so mad at it anymore. It's a "Wow, check out her ass!" sort of a fit...

I'm taking a sweater class with Jared Flood tomorrow at the Gourmet Yarn CO. Very excited about that! It sounds like this will help with designing sweaters and knitting them seamlessly, which is always a good thing, since my finishing leaves a lot to be desired.

Oh, I'm also excited because I ordered a Scooba from iRobot this week! I love my Roomba so much and have wanted a Scooba for a long time. I saw that HSC.com had the basic model for $212 and had to get it. It should be here sometime next week, and I can't wait to get it charged up and mopping my floors!

I need to get back into the blogging habit, so maybe I can blog instead of writing these mundane Christmas card letters.
