Working ALOT

I've been away from my needles for so long! I'm eying those unfinished projects. Which I hope to be picking back up any day now. I had to go back to work. Even though I work per diem I work alot of hours, where ever I can pick up. I'm with a private care agency as a CNA and travel anywhere, also at 2 local nursing homes and Rehab center which I pick up over night shifts and double shifts which is overtime hours even though I don't work a full time 40 hours schedule. I just came home yesterday morning from 40 hrs in 2 days being on my feet. So tired!!! My kids off to school and slept for 4 hours!! Felt soooo good then up for kids after school dinner & homework went back to bed after dinner and watched TV next thing I knew my husband was getting the kids ready for school??
I have a review this week with a company as a contractor that does medical exams for insurance companies, investigators, etc. The position is Examiner and phlebotomist. I get to make my own hours, draw labs, whatever they person needs to have to the insurance company. Ohh a 4th job!! I guess I have the job just filling out compliance forms, licensing info, etc.
Ok I've been awake and vertical for an hours now, kids are gone and I feel like I need a bap now.

Sorry I've been offline a while......

LONG HORRIBLE STORY which I don't care to relive some short highlights...Was like one thing after another..like all at once...
my 8yo son was hospitalized for a while.. then myself been in/out too. Did manage to finish some classes.. Medical ~ DONE!! Phlebotomy! Done!
Finished up some projects around the house.. Working part time right now. Cant do anymore.. My son has been a FULL time job...Some days very difficult!
Finally he has been diagnosed with Autism!! HUGE issues with the hubby!!! Wasn't expecting that! The most recent were dealing with is pituitary gland... Endocrinology/polyendocrinolgy issues. New med made him gain 20lbs in a very short time! He is now finishing 2 double mixed antibiotics for cellulitis...Terrible!!

On a happy note my oldest daughter had a baby boy

See what we found early this morning in the yard!



My neighbors puppy was going absolutely nuts at our back fence behind my shed.
Well look at what we found. 5 so far not sure if there's more or not. a local vet took hem in they must be about 4 weeks now and pretty healthy. The vet is going to look them over run some tests and hopefully my oldest daughter and myself are looking for homes for them. Took a very long time to catch them now the vet lent me some trap to try to catch the mother.. yeah right... with my luck we may end up catching some wild animal!

School vacation is over....

my husbands best friend wife and children home had a 2 alarm fire last week during school vacation and lost pretty much everything
been a little busy helping them.
this is the room where it started an upstairs bedroom a heating rock in a fish tank they had for a few years and never had a problem or should I say whats left of it
the hallway upstairs next to it

holes in floor
the kitchen
I'm helping her with replacing some stash that's for sure. She was worried that we couldn't get the afghans she made out in time.. we tried and went back again to see what was left to salvage......not alot!! Insurance should have a couple trailers to fit the family on the property within a couple weeks or so.
If anyone has any extra afhgans laying around please let me know. I know they would enjoy them. I collected alot of toys, clothing, beding towels and HBA locally. They'll be some fundraing going on and I let her know that I'd see what I could coem up with from some online friends... Some info is posted on my facebook too. There such great people with lots of children a family of 10 actually, a retired firefighter (on-call still) kids sports and very active in the community, very well liked by so many....

on the kinitting front here,
working on some new sock patterns some will be avialable for sale through ravelry and a couple for a upcoming book that will be available throguh Crystal Palace Yarns and/or Sirus knitting.
more to come soon....with pictures!!

WOW! Another Year!


Seriously been so busy the past few months, i barely have had time to get to my computer let alone blog, heres a quick run down
Hooray for my small cheerleader they took 2nd place this season!
with all the snow, their friends like to migrate here for some karaoke.....Amazing my son tried up... him and his friend are just learning to read....The hum, yell and scream when they try to sing.. DH goes for the beer & wine that night.... It's fun! Great R & R perfect stress relief, just lots of laughs.


Another scarf got completed in time for holidays! My cousin loved it! Others wanted to make sure they get one. I used 4 skein of Plymouth Alpaca...so very soft. Need to find that pattern again, totally forgot where I found it... Will post to ravelry
The kids surprised me and had their pictures taken for me.. I figured something was up when my older daughter happily volunteered to babysit and overnight!
she did a great job and they all look fantastic!




Last month I decided to get back to work, I haven't in so long and with all the stress in my life just needed something else to help. So I'm working in Senior Health Services doing private duty nursing aide. Only PT but can feel like a glorified babysitter to some.......Nice to get out of the house to do something other then the usual

Busy Busy Busy!

So sorry for neglecting my blog the past couple months. Lots of things going on


Since August when Cheer leading/Football season started. I haven't had time to breathe.. Been on the go all day and practices all week long and games every weekend... So tired by the time we get home usually between 7:3o-9:00pm, make dinner and bed......Totally wiped.. Was doing dinner at 2:30 in the afternoon at first and eating early but that was for the birds!

My daughter's team is a traveling team no less, and we made it into the playoffs!!

last month we had to add my sons birthday, black eye and cousins wedding into the season which was interesting and really no time to sleep that weekend.


this he woke up with and boy did it make HUGE problems, 1 he has a seep disorder, Restless leg Syndrome, Central Apnea and a seizure disorder that is sleep induced & epilepsy so it's not unusual for him to wake up with injuries.. Give you a one guess what the school thought when he showed up with this.. YIKES! He was questioned 7 times by them different people and he didn't know what happened he went to bed it wasn't there then woke up with it.... anyway the school had such far fetched ideas it wasn't funny! I was questioned by authorities about my husband beating me and my children to he gave it to him then me???
then he was questioned again by a social worker and the principal and I happened to be at the school volunteering that day in the copy room/office. I walked around the corner and my son was coming out of the office with them, he tried to run to me with his arms out to hug me and the principal tried to stop him with her arm across his neck and came home looking like this (nevertheless school picture day) She left marks on him his forehead and neck.....

Now we've been to a few meetings at the school superintendent and now they are going to schedule a big meeting with all the districts department heads, superintendents of each dept and her for what to do about it.. then I get to give my input and requests at the time.....
I reported her and she's very upset kicked me out of the school, I'm not allowed there unless invited and the staff including special needs and teachers aren't even allowed to speak with me about my son at all.. All info has to be through the superintendent...
I seriously want her fired for it!! I spoke with an attorney and the DRS are all on our side and have no concerns of either myself nor my husband for any type of abuse.. She's screwed! and the school has provided me with all pertinent info for a law suit.... actually assaulting him, misrepresenting his behaviors and without vital info for the DRs essential which lead to a misdiagnosis by the school for ADD/HD and treatment of narcotics the past year and half so he can be doped and they can have a better day for this condition he doesn't have through any medical diagnosis....as well as a harassment suit...... SO between advocates, lawyers and other meetings and a TON of research too about disability & special education laws. I haven't had much time to sleep let alone anything else...
it's a continued ongoing process and am looking forward to the outcome....
we did manage a small birthday party for him with a few friends in between 2 football games bought a cake and put a mask on nit didn't have time to make one myself. I was very disappointed with it but it a worked out. He loves Star Wars
him and his friends enjoyed some bowing and video games too. then we went back for a nighttime game the day after my cousin wedding, myself and especially my husband were it bit dragging....lol
The league found out a couple weeks ago that I knit & crochet and requested some items to sell as part of the fundraising program and want that to be on ongoing thing that I head up for them... Hey it gets me a discount of the registration too.... Yeah!
the games get very cold in the bleachers and scarves are good. Started out with my daughters I made.. So now I'm teachers those who want to learn and a couple parents who just recently picked up the knit stitch so only can do garter stitch to make them. As long as we only use black, teal & white I have full creativity, scarves, socks, earrings, hats, mittens/gloves and will be reimbursed for my costs only unless donated yarn or items of course... I have to turn in receipts.. but the leagues receives all the profits.. Works out since it costs me over $300+ for my cheerleader and more if my son plays football next season.. The will use him as a water boy and mascot.. I don't want him going head to head with other kids since it's full contact!
so if anyone wants to help me out let me know how and if you can.

Lucky she didn't break her neck with them.... so I hardly had much time to knit. I was only able to get 1 sock done for cousins wedding shower over the weekend. So she opened the one sock.. Was totally hilarious thats for sure! She did stumble a little as to why she would get 1 sock....lol oh well will have to wait to see the close up photos......

Goodbye days 6&7 Hell week! Good morning to week 2

Yikes! I can't believe I made it through the day 6 let alone 7!
Had to go back to the DRs office on Saturday morning to follow up from Thursday!
Got up when my husband was listening to the news (6am) about a gas truck that tipped over on hwy 128 early in the morning. So up coffee shower, get the kids up lets go!! Told them they could eat a cereal bar in the car and go back to sleep if they wanted too but we needed to leave asap!
They were surprising well behaved on the way up in the car, went by the accident the hwy southbound (heading home) was closed for several miles! about a good 30 minute stretch as I could tell. Which pretty much looked like all day to me!! Plenty of trucks digging up the road, the side, dirt, trees etc. Flat beds taking away fried cars!! Literly TOTALLY FRIED NOTHING BUT THE BOTTOM FRAME TOTALLY TORCHED LEFT!! It was a site. All I could think of if how I was going to get home, another ways I could take would take me a long outta the way routes but at least 2 hours out of the way!! Lucky me!!
Get to the DRs, the kids were great! The DR kinda said your screwed you can go this way or that way but either way your screwed!! Thanks!! ALT: we could stay their at his office for the day! NOT!!

All this just to read a stupid TB test which was negative but they didn't' believe me and my DR was on call and would meet me at the office on Saturday!! not to mention he wants to repeat it in case it's a false reading? Are they for real?!!! I lived up that way most of my life and can't seem to find a DR around where I live to be my PCP!! So I have to drive 1 1/2 hours to them for the most ridiculous things sometimes that are so unnecessary! I think they just like to see me...
The cape to me is like rural America!
I barely made it back to get my daughter to cousins birthday party, a little late, almost 2pm so thought I'd take my son out for some fun to an arcade which he's addicted to video games at 6 I think!! He turned me down to that miniature golf, bowling.. He wanted to go to Blockbuster picked out a game to play at home and a couple movies for his sister... How sweet! He really wanted that game! A Spongebob game that he thinks is funny!
Back to get my daughter first... We got there in time for cake & presents.. the kids played in the pool and bouncy thing.. My son pouted out front because he picked the wrong game it was for an Xbox and we have PS. Would even come out to the backyard! Finally they hung up a pinata thing !!! Ohhh a weapon, even though it was a bunch of little girls I asked my son if he wanted to hit it!! He couldn't run out back fast enough!!after all the party kids left my cousins and I decided to BBQ it was getting late and we were hungry! My son wanted to go in the big pool not the little pool! I wont let my kids in without an adult because they don't know how to swim. It's one of those bigger type ones with the deck built around it, stairs inside the shallow end, volley ball near deep end...
Called my husband to bring some food and bathing suit over...
about 7 or so we cooked ate cleaned up! We all had leftover fireworks so went to the pond at the end of the road to finished lighting them off and get rid of the evidence!! (illegal in this state)
needless to say with all these people and a bunch of smokers between neighbors, friends and family showing up and 1/2 of them smoke! It was a extreme tough day (day 6)
yesterday day 7 not so bad, I tried to sleep late which is hard for me, but so exhausted I did rest and watch movies. My DH exchanged the game for my son so he played and daddy and our little girl hung outside swimming the pool and lots of yard work! Pheww! I don't need to do it today! YIPPIE!!
Day 8 Errands & LOts of laundry! mostly towels!! ope this week will get a little easier!

I've been playing around with different teas and made some really good blends everyone seems to enjoy! Been making them hot but pouring over pitcher of ice with a little splendor the perfect ice tea!

    Whats new

    Well I have to have surgery again on my nose, they need to repair & reconstruct the septum.. The DR will only do this type of surgery if I quit smoking at least 30 days prior and after.. Which I'd like to have in the past then restarted.

    I found this new program and ways to re-learn life to help quit which seem to have helped alot of people
    Call Ex!

    here's my web page



    I have quit yet, theres other steps first, tacking when trying to separate the urge and wait 5-10 minutes longer then you normally would before lighting up and recognizing what your doing and why then within a week or two they say your ready to pick an actual real quit date. Also realizing that after your done with a cigarette, the stress, worries, and whatever is still there.. Also learned that nicotine does NOT cause cancer! Who knew!

    I just joined and hoping this will be more successful, my kids are totally motivated and remind me everyday of what the DR said....besides them being a great motivation so is breathing through my nose again not waking up gaging and stuff!
    I've quit so 3 years then started again quit for months then started again, so I'm trying to be positive about this I know I can!

    come on over if you have a chance, all the encouragement will and does help!

    Hopefully I'll be doing more knitting......;o))

    A fun knit tea swap from the sockathon list photos should work now that everything has been fixed. Will be up in the next day or so

    Son's surgery went OK, they had to incubate him and took longer then expected but good news he's healed nicely the DR said last week and he can now stick his tongue out!! Wooohooo!!! He also did in fact get promoted to the 1st grade!! YEAH!! Sept. 2nd back to school and all day!! What will I do??!!


    Introducing Twists & Turns!


    I designed a new sock and pattern is almost ready to be tested, am looking for someone who'd like to test knit it for me, must have knowledge of sock knitting in the round and cables, give me feedback, you'll be receiving the pattern for free in PDF format for your personal use only, no copying.

    Son's Upcoming Surgery!

    this new insurance company isn't such a great plan but we're working hard with the DRs to make some stuff work for him.
    He's having some minor surgery in the morning but with the risk of the anesthesia and the neurological apnea theres a high risk that he may NOT wake up. Since it's minor surgery to clip his very bad tongue tie we can't put it off any longer.. he hasn't had any signs of a seizure in the past couple weeks which is good news! The anesthesiologist is going to give him a very short acting type of general that he should only be out for 6-8 minutes before starting to wake up so hope the ENT & the vascular surgeons both do plan on working very quickly and can coordinate it so they can do their magic in the allotted time!
    I told them that at 6 minutes I'll be pacing the floor outside the OR door and at 8 minutes if they don't call me back to be there for him when he starts coming too I'll be a raven lunatic!
    After hearing about Senator Ted Kennedy which our family has known , met and lived by them as a kid has had 1 seizure and has a cancerous brain tumor, and my son has dyplasia of the brain which they can't get to for a biopsy because of the length amount of time being under anesthesia and a strong possible he'd never wake up though the procedure they won't attempt a biopsy at this point. People wonder why I'm such a basket case, hovering and babying my little man....
    I can't help but be worried out of my mind!!
    We recently created a carepage for him that your welcome to visit, post to the message board and send virtual gifts
    here's the link and it's free.
    I have one for my illnesses too but have to update and will post the link another time...

    My husband is starting to realize the severity of whats going on......
    He's actually being nice now.......
    Will post as soon as possible afterwards.....

    So now I have a house full of kids, he has 5 friends over right now, I want to make sure he has a good day! YIKES! (I think I'm going to need some motrin!!)
    Also have to prepare for our annual Memorial BBQ this weekend too..
    If anyone knows of a way to have extra time in a day please let me know!

    Life Changes!!

    well alot has been going on I'll be brief right now.
    My husband and his work decided on changing insurance and over the past month we've learned alot of the treatments aren't' covered for my son (nor myself). Been denied for alot of other services, he was off his meds for a short time but the drs are working on other, alternatives to get by until they can figure out another way and herbals have been added in the meantime....
    Both of us were scheduled for upcoming surgeries his minor but I've had to cancel mine and my DRS aren't sure of how to proceed with me before I become critical ill they have to do something or wait until then.
    My husband has informed me out of the blue that he is moving out and has decided on a quick divorce...Thanks for the support and will try to keep updating the best I can.

    Happy Birthday Kaitlyn!

    It's April and between all our birthdays & our anniversary this month not sure how much knitting time I'll be doing. Went on a mission to find the guitar pan and all the stuff I needed
    my daughter changed her mind a few times last week of what kind of cake she wanted...errrr!

    So it was settled and mom stayed up until wee hours to get this done Friday night for Saturday afternoon for our first BBQ party for the season! ;o))
    I was very tired and just couldn't get those strings straight.....
    she was excited, a couple of friends had mixed reactions ... both those girls also have invited my daughter to their parties next week..... mines the goofy one in the middle......also the tinniest of the 8 y/o

    I swear that 1 candle was NOT a trick candle but she had a tough time blowing it out, took about 3 or 4 times.....

    Very Exciting News

    For my cousin and his family this week!
    Anyone recognize this bus??


    or perhaps this limo? look familiar at all? (you can see the pink coat reflection in the window, thats my little girl standing next to me, she's waiting to run between the camera crews.........We've been dodging them all the time, my son doesn't like them)

    see everyone in the blue shirts? (Hint! Hint!!) I have one now too!! ;o))

    Getting ready to 'MOVE THAT BUS!!!'

    'TODAY WITH ABC EXTREME MAKEOVER!!'
    here's the design team earlier today!
    still doing some finishing touches waiting for the family to arrive.
    (they were actually laying down sod and painting it at this point and tossing empty boxes out the back of the house and over the back yard fence into neighbors yards....
    The house the family won't really be staying in right now either.. They have to wait for the occupancy permit and they also said no one else can go int he house for 2 weeks......Lots of interviews going on and more shots with just the family. Some family members seen some of inside and some of us didn't want to yet....

    Lots of penguins and dinosaurs I will tell you.....

    here's where the family, workers, volunteers watched on the property while the family was going inside with Ty!! Theres was only 5000 people allowed then they didn't shuttle anyone else in so imagine with all the camera crew, productions workers, etc it was hard to see over everyone with the camera

    See the copper trim too... beautiful copper trim around the front door too!




    Here's their NEW home! (at the end of the day)



    We were very happy to be able to be there for the

    'MOVE THAT BUS!!!'


    only did that scene about 101 times!!!! lol

    Check out the above link click onto the lighthouse and you can view the story of my cousin Paul and his wife and children and then click on the above GALLERY link and it'll bring you to the hundreds of photos from through out the week!


    I must tell you all though being there in person is NOTHING compared the the shows highlights that air the night of the show...

    Yesterday they finished and reviled a new home in Warwick, RI which isn't to far from us either. So we didn't see much of Ty Pennington this week

    Even though I applied for us with my son, it's not very disappointing to see my cousins family was chosen!! very sad story. We were very happy they can be together now and start a new life.

    Show due to be aired May 11th season finale!

    Quick Update & WIP

    Well my son had a long vacation week a couple more seizures, more increases to his meds and has to go back to the hospital for more tests in a couple weeks.
    At least this time when I had paged the DR, she said I did the right thing!! He was totally awake this time during the day, face changes and bite so hard he split his lips in a couple spots, he was standing right next to me just biting really hard on his lips! He wouldn't stop just started blankly bleeding which didn't seem to bother him at the time at all.. Luckily no stitches are needed for this one and only last approx. 2 minutes... Not as scary as some...


    Getting ready to make some mini sock earrings that will be up for sale shortly. Will psot more details soon.

    Friday, February 22, 2008

    WIP & updates!

    Some progress being done with the sock yarn blanket so far and moving on..

    Haven't decided yet on keeping it for my son, raffling or sell it outright....... Any suggestions?

    Please contact me for arrangements of your unwanted leftovers, I could also make you mini sock earrings (sterling wires nothing cheap) or something else

    Please send me your requests for your unwants that will get all used up for sure!




    On the home front. girls are fine but my son had another seizure. Apparently a much longer one during the night but I didn't catch till the end. It was very unusual and different for him too.. 4am in a fetal position covered in urine & stool... Literally a mess! He was so scared and tired.
    Dh of course become a DR overnight and said he's fine put him back to bed.....He's standing watch me in the bathroom knee deep in crap.. Duh!! Help me!! Poor kid standing up now sleeping swaying back and forth... I wanted to page the Dr right then and there, but DS was responsive so I didn't think to much let alone half asleep myself......
    cleaned up and we went back to sleep for about 3+ hours or so then I paged the DR

    Dr called me back right away, after lecturing me about what I should've done differently like give him valium! Call 911 then move him and clean him while waiting for assistance... and wy I didn't!
    Then had me give him more meds and up then again .....so now 2 meds on higher dose and in a couple weeks bring him in for tests.
    Geez! They make me feel like I should've known?? Well I didn't and no one ever said do this or that if you see this or find that!! Not to mention like they want someone else to see and not believe me what I witnessed and seen???

    Kids move around alot in their sleep sometimes have accidents although extremely unusual for him, he never has. The DR says when someone has a lengthy type and seizing to long bodily fluids come loose....

    I've been beating myself up for days now how I failed as a mom, why didn't I know why didn't I call 911 and give him valium.... Shit! I should've taken some valium!! LOL

    How does anyone get used to this stuff??!!

    thankful it's school vacation this week and we've been having a very laid back week.... He's doing much better not quite himself. I'm a little fearful that going back to school Monday with extra meds he maybe a bit off through the adjustment over the next week or so, but otherwise seems ok not not fully up to par.....
    With all these types of meds has been losing he appetite not to mention weight loss 4 .5 lbs since the holidays.... I went back to one of his DRs to asked for ensure for him, our insurance would usually cover it and it's getting expensive at $13 per 6 pk and he likes them enough where he'll drink one for me.. He gets hungry asks for food then sits and looks at it and not hungry.. So If I get him to drink a bottle of ensure it makes me happier in knowing he;s getting some nutrition... The DR agreed and our insurance company denied him, I've appealed it which is a process so int he meantime I asked my own DR and it was approved.. I told him the situation and he wrote it for 200 bottles a month... Which is good and we can get different flavors to try... Only available in Chocolate, Vanilla & strawberry! He's also getting 2 spoonfuls of ice cream every morning and yogurt for mixing meds or opening capsules he can't swallow.... Not sure what else I can do.. I can't force him to eat.... I've never had a problem with him eating until this year with the different and added meds......


    dragging out another basket of leftover sock yarns from the bedroom and will be putting all the little squares together and adding as I attach all the 3 together pieces....

    Planning on quite weekend and shoveling to keep up with the snow today and tomorrow... Suppose to snow all day today through the night apparently, problem being New England weather is so very unpredictable! earlier in the week in the 50s then below freezing, now snow then probably rain thereafter along with cold temps...Gotta love New England! Especially the Cape! Actually much better then towards Boston area.. We're right on the line.. Either get slammed from coastal issues and goes out to sea.. Which this time is not the case....
    Jammy day!
