Midnight Fly-by

Just stopping in to say hi. I miss my blog. Isn’t that strange? But I’ve become accustomed to its face.

It’s after midnight and I’m up in “my room” at my sister’s house. She has a three story house, with two bedrooms on the third floor – it’s sort of a repository area, if you know what I mean. My room is up there – with a TV and currently, my sister’s new laptop with wireless Internet! Yay! Almost all the comforts of home, except I miss Georgie. I just hate sleeping without him. Although it was nice falling asleep, for a little while at least, with my amazing niece. I miss her and my nephew so much when I’m not with them – almost as much as I miss George. I wish I could have them all closer together, but that’s not to be, at least not any time soon. So I trade off and I’m always missing someone.

I’m incredibly lucky at the amount of time I get to spend with my sister and her kids. When I come down (it’s not that far away – North Jersey to Philly), I get to spend a few days always. That means I’m with the kids 24/7 which is the only way to get to know them. I see all their moods and love them all the more for their stark human-ness. It’s awesome to see their minds churning, learning, burning with information every single second of the day. If you’ve never been teased by a toddler, you don’t know what you’re missing. I have loved these children within an inch of my life since they were conceived. And the best part is that I know they love me just as much.

Sorry. I’m a little maudlin tonight. Missing my love and overwhelmed with emotion for my babies. Sentimentalism sucks and I try to avoid it at all costs. But whatever. Sometimes it’s just there.

I actually got some knitting done today – I decreased for the armholes on the back of School Daze. Hopefully I’ll be able to knit a lot tomorrow – the kids go to school and my sister has work. I’m also going to visit my grandmother – I’m hoping she’ll be up for an LYS crawl. I don’t know if she’s been to any real yarn stores – discount craft stores don’t count! I’m pretty sure there’s a store not too far from her that carries Art Yarns. I’m in love with the stuff!

Anyway – thanks for your comments yesterday – it’s nice to know I’ll be missed, even if I’m still (kind of) here!
