Man, there are times that I really miss her. I know she would’ve made an awesome Grandma, probably spoiling Peanut rotten. I know she would have definitely been the first one to give my little girl candy. She had such a sweet tooth! I just wish that I could have her around to ask her questions about what it was like when I was little. My dad, bless his heart, doesn’t remember (it’s honestly okay!!) but it would be nice to know if my little girl does things that I did as a baby or not. Mom would have been 53 this year. My parents would have celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary this year as well, back on May 24. That’s ten years of birthdays and anniversaries that won’t happen, which makes me sad. But I know my mom is still with us. I feel her presence almost every day. I know she is Peanut’s guardian angel. Not many babies have two grandparents for guardian angels, but this little one does.
In other news, I’ve been able to knit a bit again. Mostly on weekends and during my lunch break at work. I’m generally too exhausted when I get home and need to nurse, bathe, and get the Peanut to bed. That’s okay though. I enjoy every minute I have with her, even if I’m exhausted beyond belief! But with Season 3 of True Blood starting this past weekend, my rav group has decided to do a KAL with the Tiger Eyed Lace Scarf; more in honor of Quinn (not part of the show yet). I decided to use this colorway because it reminded me of Louisiana with its kinda merky, muddy greens, blues, and pinks. I’m working on the scarf from both ends because I’m doing the grafting version. I’m thinking I should be able to get 10-11 pattern repeats on both sides, but that’s why I’m working them together; to make sure I have enough yarn to do it all! So far, so good. Hooray! I’m also using this as half my Phoenix mission for my BSG FPB group. Maybe I’ll be able to get some more knitting done this week while Rob’s out working. Who knows with the Peanut. If she’s too fussy, then alas, I won’t.
