Oh look one more ice cream scoop, aren't you excited?

Friday was as errand day so the time just got away from me and I didn't blog.  The excuse for Saturday was that I didn't have any pictures.  Wile this is true, the biggest detriment to my crafting has been the discovery of Franklin Habit's blog.

Of course like any good crafter on Ravelry I'd heard of him but I didn't pay too much attention.  In one of the group someone linked to a little cartoon he drew about penguin sweaters (I'm not going to explain the penguin sweaters).  The cartoon was on his blog and I noticed he's from Chicago.  Since I miss Chicago I wanted to read what he had to say.  It seems he moved to Chicago about the same time I left.  Of course because I'm crazy I started reading form the beginning and am reading them in chronological order.  He's been writing for a wile so it's taking some time.  The biggest problem is I can't craft and read at the same time.  He is an absolutely excellent writer.  I love the way he words thing and his stories about his imaginary sheep roommate are hysterical.  I think I'm about half way through at this point.

My other "problem" right now it that the kids are on Spring break.  It did make my morning easier but the rest is a little harder.  I love my kids I really do but sometimes my daughter begging for ice cream and my son whining that he can't play on this or that device gets to me.  My plan for summer is to be out of the house and on the go as much as possible to combat that.  You can also list me with the other mean mothers of the wold since I did make them do some school work this morning.  It's good for them and any practice Amey can get on her multiplication facts and Mooky on his reading is a good thing.  They have done everything I have asked and can now go outside but none of the other kids are out so we are watching Spirited Away.  Maybe I will have more progress tomorrow.
