what I'm up to..

So here's what I'm up to.. My gloves that I'm making my aunt are frustrating me no end.. I've torn them out about a couple hundred times, and will have to do a new pair because the first glove i finished which fit her well was a mess up and I DON'T REMEMBER HOW I MESSED UP!! so now I need to figure out how to make them small again (She has tiny hands).. Karen I will get them to you.... I started working on my genealogy, finding that VERY addictive.. Told my husband that we'll have to start touring to find relatives and such.. The Beseman - Roseth - Darling family tree..

On top of that I started to make coffee cozies for my craft show at Idexx tomorrow. nothing like procrastinating.. They will be going on etsy after the show along with all my other creations

So hopefully my show tomorrow goes better than my last one.. I've done 2 and this is my last one so far, I may add some although it looks like spring I will be adding more. The kids have all been battling flu's and colds, I opted out of the H1N1 vaccine for them and us, I just don't trust it. I blame my dad and his conspiracy theories :)... oh, I'd better get back to my studio.. more later everyone...

Shane playing hockey

This is a video of my son playing some ice hockey with the 'lil Scots.. a wonderful hockey program in the bonney eagle school system. it takes ages (I believe) 4-11 and teaches them how to enjoy ice hockey and the basic skills needed.. the younger kids start out on buckets and are fun to watch.. Shane has been with the program since he was about 3, India has been with it as well since she was about 3.. Some of the volunteers play on the high school hockey team and they are all wonderful with the children.. India actually was able to get on the ice her last couple of days. she had the dubious honor of being the first accident in 10 years, she's proud (not joking).... Shane doesn't want to leave the program but he's getting close to that age, next year he can play on the BE team.

another weekend

Ever feel like weekends are WAAAAY to short... Last weekend my darling Husband had to work pretty much all weekend, which burnt him out. This week has been hell.. I guess it has been awhile.. India, my youngest, at the beginning of hockey (ice) fell on the ice literally 5 min. into practice, she fractured her wrist, that was 3 weeks ago. On monday of this last week my Oldest (Sage, 16) came home from her field hockey game saying she thinks she broke her thumb.. So she went to see our Dr. Harvey at Bowdoin Med. Group (kick ass doc), he agreed and set up an appt for xrays the next day (by this time it was 7ish at night).. The next day I took her for xrays, they came back negative. That didn't satisfy our doc so he set up an appt for a specialist. So now it's wednesday and were on our way to see the orthopedic specialist. It's not broken she has a UCL sprain (?) the muscle between her pointing finger and thumb. basically her pinching mucsle. So she's in a gauntlet cast to hold her thumb imobile and it sounds like she'll have physical therapy after. If she doesn't do PT she could lose her grip strength and the mucsle not heal correctly.. Oh isn't life wonderful..

On Thursday we toured Bowdoin College in Brunswich Maine... BEAUTIFUL campus, should be for the price. My daughter whose just turning 17 and should be a JR. decided to graduate a year early, Miss smarty pants ;).. I go from being so proud and happy for her to being so bumbed because my oldest is leaving a year before she's suppose to.. how much does that suck... We still have at least 2 more school tours Bates in Lewiston, ME and boston university.. She wants to be a doctor.

Friday was Sage last field hockey game of her high school career, doc gave her clearance to play.. they tied 2 -2, but i believe bonny eagle made the playoffs.

It was a LONG week. It's been a LONG few weeks.. between sports, sports injuries, college and school stuff, I'm ready for vacation. This doesn't even tackle the fact that I have craft shows coming and am SSSOOO NOT ready!!!! So my question is partially to any other mothers out there reading my blog, is there such thing as a vacation for a mom????
