lots of things, i'm sure, along with my resolve to eat more healthfully, but at the moment, the most pressing loss is my collection of knitting books and knitting patterns.
i have been through the storage closets and shelves in the three places in the house where we stashed stuff when we moved in, and though i can find boxes of toys, stuffed animals, hotspur bobbleheads and programs, videos, empty dvd cases, teaching textbooks, literature paperbacks, and more books on judaism than either one of us would ever want to read, i cannot find my knitting books. this is alarming to me; i feel as though i have lost an arm. i'm trying to put it into perspective and say, "well, at least it wasn't a box of journals." but i am hopelessly stationed between one sock syndrome and start-itis, and i was looking for a quick felt project to kick me in the ass. alas, i cannot find the books or patterns. i have a few i've downloaded, but one in particular, from One Skein is haunting me. i haven't given up all hope; this weekend i plan to enlist reinforcements to go through the video/dvd/book boxes and search again for the knitting and crochet books.
on another note, what does it say about me as a parent that both my children have voiced that they want to go as pumpkins for Halloween this year?
oh, the henry costume. must look.
and i suppose it is all normal and good that my son says that my daughter doesn't like him--and he wakes up in the middle of the night saying "no, Sydney, leave me alone! get out of my room!" and he's only half-awake.
freud would have a picnic with us all in this madhouse.
off to find henry. maybe i'll find the books in the meantime.

my friend at sus63 has links to knitting sites, i think.
pumpkins are cute. easy and cute.
as the older sister of a brother three years my junior, yes, it's normal. wish it didn't have to be. teaching boundaries is hard.
i bet super nanny has a solution. she's freudless and fabulous and has a non-aristocratic british accent.

it's funny that both our brothers turned out more conservative than we did. were you always the "responsible one" like i was, growing up? look at their richer-selves now. : )
