It's not that things have been exceptionally difficult for me, I mean, I miss him to pieces, but I've been doing ok.... it's just the kids that have been difficult... Izzy misses his daddy so much, they were so close... it breaks my heart to hear Izzy talk about him...
Jack has been doing pretty good over all.. he's been a big big help with the two little ones, but has been slacking pretty bad on his chores from time to time... over all though... it's mostly been a very messy room that seems to never get clean.. apart from that he's not doing too bad.
It is a bit of a shock to realize how much DH does day to day... and I feel like it takes him leaving before I could truly appreciate it...
Anyways, I don't really have any new knitting updates... I've been talking with a friend about possibly designing a new Soaker pattern, with ribbing in the butt area only, rather than all through the crotch or using short rows... so I'm hoping to work on that as soon as I finish this last hat for Apple Green Photography.... I've finally made some progress on it! I had to completely scrap it at one point, and then frog back a few times... finally I had to put it down and work on something else for a day before going back to it... now though, it's coming along well, only another day or two of work, and I'll be done...
That is as long as I actually have time to knit..lol.
There have actually been a few days since DH left that I haven't picked up my needles at all...
Today for example I was so exhausted from not sleeping well, and from a crazy intense workout this morning, that I ended up falling asleep on the couch with Izzy(The fact that both the little ones were asleep at the same time was a huge blessing! lol)
I also just started reading the book of Job... DH and I wanted to have something we could both talk about while he's deployed, so every month we're both reading a book(or series of books) of the bible "together" this month is Job...which I think is an inspiring book to read during hard times... I've read it once through before years ago, so it'll be good to read it again..
But that also has been taking away some of my knitting time...but I figure, spending time in God's Word way is more important...if I thought otherwise, than that would be making knitting an idol... and I really should be reading my bible more anyways... usually the most reading I'll do is when I go over my bible study for my sunday school small group.. and that's not alot really...
Anyways, that's my update for now, I'll probably be updating this alot more now that things are getting back on schedule :D
