Happy New Year

We've had a whirlwind December. Our usual roadtrip went a little less smooth than we had planned. Because of the blizzard that hit Virginia, DC, NJ, MD and all of the surrounding areas.... well the traffic was pretty terrible. It took us TWICE as long to get to our destinations. Then Claire ended up with food poisoning and was vomiting every hour. I ended up with a respiratory infection after being at my mom's house -- I had a fever for a couple of days after we got back. We had a nice time with our families, but I'm DEFINITELY not going to be doing that drive again. I think 2010 will bring a holiday at home here in South Carolina.

I recently found out we are expecting our third child and I am very excited about that. Let the knitting of wee items begin!

WIP Wednesday

No pictures today unfortunately. I'm knitting with black yarn and I had a hard time getting a clear picture of my project. Basically, the picture looked like a big black blob. Anyhow, I'm STILL working on Halloween longies for my daughter. I guess I've sort of lost motivation for these, so I've been knitting really slow.

The kids have both been waking up at night, so I'm a bleary eyed mess this week. My son (3.5) has been waking up every night at 3am for 4-5 months. We have no idea why. My daughter is teething.

We're due to leave for Rhode Island/ Boston area tomorrow. I'm driving up by myself, visiting my mother, and then picking my husband up at Logan and we're spending a few days in the area we used to live in.

Somehow, it is easier on the road. Even traveling with them by myself, I find a lot of peace in being mobile. And, without all of the housework to worry about, it seems there is more time to enjoy life.
