6 years
6:57am. The phone rings, it never rings at this time, so I ran across the hallway get in the kitchen praying the kids won't get up. Hello? "Happy 6 year anniversary, honey!" WOW! Is it worst that he called so early or the fact that he working for the 14th day in a row and still took time to call me to say that. That sure was weird, if the 7th year is the toughest one in a relationship, we sure have a bumpy ride coming soon then.
I finished my blueberry swatch, that's the name of my sweater! LOL! Yes, I named my sweater 'cause I like the color, the pattern is really called Accordion. I'll wash it and hope the gauge doesn't change 'cause *I* got gauge on the 1st swatch, now how surprising is THAT? I never get gauge usually.
Slowly knitting on my shawl too, baby alpaca is so soft to work with, it truely is a pleasure. I think I like knitting lace, well at least simple lace. My pattern has mostly yo's, k2tog and some 'sl2 knitwise, k1 and psso'. Also each row is easy to remember so I don't need to constantly refer to the chart. It's silly how I didn't touch it for a month just because I had to join a new ball of yarn. Silly, silly me. ;)
Next weekend is Canada's thanksgiving weekend, I wonder if dh will still be working out of town and sleeping there again. Doesn't his boss care that he has a family and he is just not seeing his loved ones anymore!? Gosh, it sure is hard for me and of course on the kids too. Daddy is their hero after all. I had so many hopes that this fall dh and I, we would get a little weekend away from home together, just to reconnect. Just to spend some time and actually get to talk for once, no not about if the kids brushed their teeth before bed. I just want some adult talk and need to know some things on our relationship. Oh well, maybe some day we'll have time to talk, how hard can it to find time though? UGH!
