The land is so beautiful to look at, so cleansing and perfect. We will attempt to walk around today, but honestly I do not want to mess it up.

Adjustment Disorder "Stress Response Syndrome"

My frustration with watching the kids at home 12+ hours a day and being unemployed since June had taken a toll on me. The kids were going to school part and full-time over the summer and up until October 31. For the last month and a half, I had both kids home all day. My temper, patience, and boredom were reaching an all time high. Having a second was like having 10 to us. When people talk about wanting kids or a second, inside I yell, "Don't do it!"   I know it is just a matter of perspective and capability. For Joe and I, we struggle regularly to survive and work cohesively. Everyday is a battle. What to eat, which bathroom to potty in, stool or no stool, lights and fan, door open or closed, what shirt/pants/socks/shoes, what cup to drink out of, brush teeth or not, which paste/brush to use, what snacks/lunch/dinner to eat, which car seat to sit in, water or milk to drink, which movie to watch, bath or not, bubbles or not, which toys to play/share, which route to...

Clutched

This is my second experience with Noro. I signed up for a Knitting 102 class a while back. I arrived and I was told by the instructor that I needed to pick out a Noro Silk Garden from the shelf for my beanie. I have been drawn to a couple other types of Noro for a while, but didn't really have the need to buy it. I so badly wanted to need it for a project. Finally, I decided to buy a couple skeins [pronounced skeyn] of Noro Kureyon shade #226. I decided to make a clutch for my dear friend, Beth. I'm using a pattern I found on jaykayknits . This will be my first purse and I am excited to learn something new while making a gift for someone.
