Oh my goodness yesterday turned out not the greatest that is why I skipped.  It started out o.k. but the kids at the bus stop were very energetic.  There were three or four moms at the bus stop and they were letting the kids play "tag" really roughly on a rock/gravel driveway (none of them were the parents of the kids being rough).  Because last year's issues I yelled at them to stop.  I could just see someone falling and getting bloody.  Maybe it's not my business but if it appears to me to be unsafe i'm going to say something.  They stopped but then picked up rocks so I said not to throw them. I jokingly said it was my job to be mean and one kid said, "No your job is to parent your child."  I said , "Yes but I choose to be mean about it, just ask my son."  Oh course Mooky agreed. The kid then said "You aren't my mom."  I said, "You're right but, if you do something dangerous I'm sure she would LOVE to hear about it."  I understand, kind of, parents not getting involved because some parents won't appreciate it but if something is dangerous I feel like you have to say something.  

That wasn't the bad part of the day, what happened next set that up.  After I dropped my husband off at work I ran to the school to drop something off.  I accidentally locked the keys in the car.  I walked home to get the other set, got the key to the apartment from the office, got some water and rested a little then walked back.  It only took an hour all told but there are no side walks, little shade and the lights are not timed for pedestrian traffic (speed limit is 45-55 mph).  Because I wasn't planning on waling in the first place I wasn't dressed right or had water at first.  I got so dehydrated.  I felt a little bad emotionally because the round trip was only about a mile and I could really feel it.  The dehydration was the bigger problem though.  It knocked me out for the rest of the day. I was so tired, I had a headache, I didn't want to eat, I was cranky, and I felt like I couldn't concentrate. I got nothing done.  No cleaning or laundry, no crafting and I barely made supper.  So of course no blogging. I feel better today so today I have to get everything from yesterday done and today's work.  bla.  It will be o.k. but it was not pleasant yesterday.  O.k. enough complaining back to the crafting.

The hat at the top of the page is the toddler hat that took me about 2.5 hours.  All the hats for my sister are done and she picked a pattern for the tea cozy so I'll start on that.  I'm still looking for flower patterns.  After that I need to finish the cup cake then the totoros.  I did work a little bit on my sock yarn blanket square and a little on my sock.  The sock just gets dragged out for waiting room knitting. 

I've been listening to my podcasts. I didn't get them all listened to so I plan to catch up on them today.  I was planning to listen yesterday but I got distracted by a Youtube show called Off The Great Wall.  It had some funny parodies of anime and drama so I got sucked into some of their other topic relating to China and other Asian things.  

I think that is about it.  Today's goal it to drink lots of water so if I have surprise exercise again I won't dehydrate and fix today what I couldn't get to yesterday.  Not the most fun thing in the world but it must be done.  I hope you have a better day today than I hade yesterday.
