Saturday in September Missing All My Babies

It is Saturday the 6th of September. My baby girl was born 24 years ago today. Talk about time goes by so fast!!!. Right now she is due to have my next grand-daughter, Lilianna Moon. Hopefully next week at this time, I will be holding her!!!

As of right now I have retired, but will probably continue to work for a while. Not a whole lot to write about.

Wish I had tons of interesting things on my mind or going on in my life, but no, I do not.

Still wish I could figure a way to make money on line, but it is not happening.

Wish I had time to knit more. Not happening either. Right now my oldest daughter is trying to knit a Baby Surprise Sweater, pattern by the famous Elizabeth Zimmerman. I cannot help her much because I am so far away. More than anything else in my life, I miss my children. How is one ever really happy again, when your children all live somewhere else and that somewhere else is so far away. It is not a control issue, it is just seeing their faces, looking into their eyes and knowing that they are near.

I really should rename this blog. Maybe I Miss My Kids or something. Is there anyone out there who feels this way? Have you learned to let go? Have you learned to miss them and still be happy? I would love to hear from you. Let me know how you cope.

I would also like to share with you some of my favorite blogs, so I will have to figure out how to do that.

Time goes by soooo fast. There is never enough of it. Well, I have a question now. Does anybody know how to get something off of your blog? Like the bellyhood thing I have at the top of mine. I put that on when one of my daughters was carrying a baby and never looked at it. Now I cannot figure out how to get rid of it.

I only have a few minutes today.

Let's talk about what I am working on and then when I come back I can talk about how much I got finished.

I am knitting a sweater for my daughter. I have been working on it since June. I will try, this afternoon, to post a picture of it and also of the page she and I designed it on.

I am also working on a pair of mitts. They have fingers, but not the ends of the fingers. So they are technically not fingerless gloves, nor are they gloves. Is there a word for them?

And on the spinning wheel I am spinning pure alpaca. I have fleeces from three that were all given to me. Right now I am trying to spin enough to make my husband a belaclava for next hunting season.

I will put pictures in for all of these things later this afternoon if he gives me time. lol

Talk at ya later.

Well, I don't even know how long it has been. I have decided to continue blogging and see if I can earn a little money from my blog posts. All of us who need the money need to unite. Let's see how this works. I have heard people say that they have earned enough to pay for their college. Do I believe that? I am really very very skeptical. I am willing to try though.

Here are my goals and let us see how much time I have to invest to reach those goals. I am going to keep track of my time at the end of each blog post.

I need to earn 300 a month. That is $300.00. I work full time and have other things that occupy my time. So let us say that I might be able to devote 1 hour to this blog on a 5 day a week basis. That means I need to earn about $15.00 for each post. I cannot imagine that happening. We will see what happens though. First, I have to decide what to blog about.

I have grown children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. My mother is living and I have 5 sisters and 4 brothers. I knit, I spin, I have animals. My animals include a Chihuahua, Brindi Lou, a cat, Nala Sue and an angora rabbit named Hairy. We have chickens and 3 beagles.

I still don't know, what in my life would be interesting enough to blog about. Can't talk about the job although we have many funny experiences there. I will be posting pictures from time to time.

Things I am interested in.


The Bible

My Family

My Animals

My knitting and spinning

The outdoors

Learning to eat healthy.

People in general.

Okay, This only took about 1/2 hour. Tomorrow I will try to make up for it. LOL
