mommy, is it okay if I have your knitting sticks?

Oh sure. I wasn't doing anything with them anyway.

So the rain has finally stopped, which means we can move our bed back to where it belongs since water has stopped dripping from the ceiling onto us while we sleep. But a few nights of no sleep has left me sick. Of course, I'm also running an early morning PTO project at the school and organizing a classroom activity for B's class for next week and juggling a schedule including two or three other school events. It's only Tuesday and I'm exhausted!

So, sure, honey. You knit. I'll just curl up in a ball somewhere and watch.

Ouch. Hopefully the ensuing lack of rain will help you get back on your feet soon. I have been counting my lucky stars that with so much of my town flooded (and the number of hoses pumping water to the curb was pretty amazing) that I managed to stay dry inside.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. Saturday in the Philly area we experienced the same rain and wind resulting in water dripping in above a relatively new window. To add insult to injury, our master bathroom shower leaked into the front hallway. Our bathrooms are getting redone but I guess the shower didn't want to wait its turn.

Feel better!

That is a serious bummer about the leak! Would no doubt damage my knitting mojo. But it sounds as if you are a bit over-extended -- perhaps time to cut back on some of the volunteering for awhile so you can enjoy the yarn again. Good luck!

She is such a doll!
I'm sorry that you are not feeling well. Get well soon.

That rain storm was horrible. I live in Boston too! I had the same problem you had, with rain dripping in my bedroom. Like you I lost sleep, listening to the dripping sounds. I hope you are rested now.

Take good care of yourself.

Hopefully, Wee one's interest in knitting tools will cheer you up. Perhaps you will have a knitting buddy in your house soon.
