Here is the start of the next sleep sack. It's much bigger now than when I took the picture. I'm planning on working on the red shawl today. I want those needles free before I start on the cupcake. There seems to be some crocheting in my future because after the cupcake I have the totoros to do.
The weekend was fine and I watched some of Absolute Boyfriend (Taiwanese drama) but yesterday was crazy. We stayed up too late on Sunday night so we got up really late Monday. Because of this I actually didn't really eat anything all day which was a bad idea. Amey had to be at her last day of "Lights on for Learning" at about 12:00. It was a day when parents could come and see what the kids had done wile there (so they assumed parents would be there). We couldn't because we had to go across the river to take Mooky to his class. He didn't have to be there till 1:30 but we went right away and Mooky and I went to the library right across the parking lot to wait wile my husband went back to get Amey. She was supposed to be off at 2:15 but after I put Mooky in his class and sat down to knit I got a call that Amey was done and needed to be picked up. She called me because she has my number memorized and not her dad's (she can't usually call him because of work). So he went to pick her up and then went to the library to wait for Mooky to get out of class. It was at a children's museum so he wanted to stay and play so right around 3:00 I called my husband to see what the plan was and he said something was going on at the library but that we would just go home after the class and he would tell me what went on when he saw me (they weren't related just in the same conversation). About five or so minutes after that I was just going to wait by Mooky's class door and I saw his teacher come out and shout down to the information desk (class is on the second floor). She wanted to verify if the sever weather sirens were really going off or not. The sirens were so the class went down to the regular part of the museum away from windows. It was good that I was there because bad weather is one on Mooky's triggers. He was on the verge of panic when he saw me and I could feel his heart pounding. Playing in the museum made him feel better. The teacher told me he had had a melt down in class but at least it was a "I don't want to participate" one and not a screaming fit or something. I got a hold of my husband and we left since it wasn't raining. I also felt we would be at least a little safer at home than the museum if there was bad weather (it's just a big open space with lots of things that could be thrown around). So in the car my husband told me what had gone on in the library. Apparently some guy, who was know by the library staff (and the police), came in yelling that there was a kid with a gun and that all the parents should go be with their kids. The staff tried to calm him down wile the police were called. When the police got there and tried to get him out of the library he refused to go because there was only one cop and kept trying to get into the children's area. Eventually the guy was tased and he pulled it out and kept walking. He was tased twice more and pepper sprayed before they could get him in cuffs and out. From over hearing conversations my husband said that the guy had come in earlier in the day with a similar complaint and that there was not kid with a gun. I asked my daughter if she was o.k. and she said it was scary but she was o.k. So we go home with the bad weather following us. It was you typical bad storm with sever weather warnings and tornado watches but it really freaks Mooky out so I spent time with him calming him down and I think looking at weather maps helped a bit. So I was emotionally tired. Not the adventure I was looking for. Everyone seems to be o.k. so that's something.
Today is the 1st but I'm not sure if we can get the picture. Every year in early July the golf course holds a huge tournament. To prep for this they put up pavilion tents and things like that. It's all right in the way of our picture taking. I might try anyway tomorrow. I think that is enough to tell you so I'll end it now and if anything interesting comes up I'll let you know. See you later.
