things make a post
Mar. 19th, 2015 08:11 amI saw the bald eagle last night on my way home from work. He was just sitting in the field, chillin' out max. Still, that's an ENORMOUS bird and damn impressive.
I got a KnitFix from Girl Charlee this month. They send you a mystery package of 6 knit fabrics of various weights and patterns/colors. I figured it'd be a good way to get out of my comfort zone with what patterns I choose. One of the fabrics I got is going to be made into something for my MiL. It's pretty, but it's SO not me. Another of my fabrics is getting traded to someone on the FaceBook group for something that I like way more. Yeah, it's a bit more shipping to pay to swap fabric, but I'm happier having something that I really want, you know?
We had another parent-teacher conference and this time Emi was invited to sit in, too. She needs to always try her best instead of just coasting, get her work done BEFORE having social time, and practice handwriting (all kids got this feedback). But she's friends with every kid in her class and some of the other classes, she's kind and caring, and she's very smart. We also talked to Ox's teachers who said he's made a ton of progress and has turned a corner in WANTING to learn how to talk. So that was all good.
I almost have all of Emi's cookies delivered at work. Six to go! I still need to get money from my mom and my FiL, as well as the cookies that we sold after the fact. Yey. Also, I need to bring extra money to her meeting tomorrow to pay for her badges and patches that she'll earn throughout the year. Yey. But she's LOVING Girl Scouts and it's not really that expensive in the big scheme of things.
Everyone's finally healthy at home. I think. Probably. Mostly.
I need some tea and maybe more breakfast. Yes.
