Sidekick and some organizing.

Knitwise: Here's my Sidekick. I've just started the 2nd ball of yarn. I love the striping. And I'm sure this denim color will be great for me...or maybe I'll decide to give the bag to a friend. You just can't go wrong with something that matches your jeans. On the size 11's this is knitting up super quick. I tried to be all artistic with the photo in our hydrangea...and check out the wiffle ball! =0) Schoolwise: I didn't get as much knitting done this weekend as I would have liked. We made a trip to IKEA (it was so much easier since Nana has 2.) We had breakfast there...then picked up this shelf for our school stuff. I think organizing will help me to freak out less. Notice I didn't say "not freak out"...I just said LESS. One of my biggest fears is being able to keep track of all the books. The ones from our charter resource library, the ones that are consumable and we don't have to return, the ones from the city library, and the ones we own! Now they are in separate cubbies. Hopefully that works or we'll owe lots of places $$$ at the end of the year.
I'm most proud of the work I did to organize loose papers into binders. The garden binder has ideas for us...we dream of a wood burning pizza oven. Wouldn't that be so cool! And I really want to be the house all the kids hang out at...so I can keep an eye on mine. I think that would be a kid magnet. The food binder holds all the recipes I've torn from magazines. Some I've tried...some I'd like to try...and some I probably never will. The travel...isn't as exotic as it sounds. I've pulled weekend trips and drives from Sunset or AAA and I'm collecting places I'd like to take the kids. And the KNIT...I've finally gathered all my patterns in this binder. YEAH!

Healthwise: I did minimal walking at IKEA since that can be a workout. I took every shortcut...since we knew just what we wanted and we're so familiar with the store...I really didn't do excessive walking. But still, by the time we loaded the shelf on the cart...I was in such pain that I sat on top of the cart and the kids climbed up with me and M pushed us all through the store. I'm super frustrated that I'm able to do all that I want. M took the boys to Disneyland today without me. I would have needed a wheelchair. =0( I don't want to complain....I just am so sad that my kids see mom as weak. I want to be a fun mom...and I can't even walk on uneven surfaces...that means at the park, I have to stick to the sidewalk and not take the grass. Who would have thought it would turn in to this. Thursday will be 6 weeks...
