31 is not going to go as planned. 
Been swimming, knitting, and geocaching. I did a horrid job on my lace washcloth, but I could have sworn I DID follow that pattern. I am loving this summer, tho. This is the first time in many many summers, I have had the energy to really do things with my kids.
Photo 1: the first cache we found. Film cannister.

5. The boys with film cannister with log in in
6. The boys with loot after the find, placing back, and on the walk back….
And they are ready to go again.
The kidlets and I have a goal of finding 20 caches this summer. Since we are just starting, this maybe a big goal. LOL.
Finally, proof that I do in fact know how to knit. First my socks, that were knitted one after the other which is a big deal for me. I love them, even if it is a basic sock pattern.
Also, a bib that I knit from One Skein. The petal bib, which I LOVED knitting, and have already cast on for another one. Doesn’t matter if no one really close to me is expecting. I just love this pattern. LOL. Soon, I will knit one in pink. 
Oh, I learned two new things knitting the bib. How to wrap a stitch, AND how to attatch and i-cord to live stitches, which looks so neat, pretty, and finished!! ZAZ new things!!
The oldest is out of elementary school tomorrow, and that’s just kind of scary for me. Very scary, actually. I’m not sure why it is. Maybe because I remember how mean kids can be at that age. I’m glad that I moved before this, as I wouldn’t want him having to meet new people at a time when things are just odd any way.
Just a note to my SP, I so love toting around my yarntainer. You rock! 
May 18th~
May 18th starts the trek to June 18th, which won’t mean much to others, but my family lost two very special people on those two days in the same year. I miss you, Uncle Trey, and Mom.
And, just a funny note…. wordpress shows what people typed in to get to my blog and this is what it was …..
These are terms people used to find your blog.
my son wear dresses
Just for the record, my son does not wear dresses! He just told me I needed to wear one! I did think it was funny, tho.
AND my boys made it to the final four of the playoffs. Gooooo Spurs!

Oldest at Amaze Entertainment. He was doing a project for school and his topic was video game design. This company stepped in at the drop of a hat, and not only did the interview, but gave him a tour! He really enjoyed it. Thank you so much, Amaze Ent.

Oldest was amazed that all the snacks were free.

Picture in the woman’s bathroom. I know this is odd, BUT do you think that you company is trying to tell you something, like you smell, maybe you should shower?!?! Oldest said there was no such basket in the men’s bathroom.

Tissues on the chairs at the Mothers Day Tea. Surely that was a sign of what was yet to come.

First, Mother’s Day.
This is the first year that I’ve really thought about Mother’s Day outside of being the Mother of my kids. This year, I admitted or let myself really miss my mom. I really do. Sometimes, I just wish I could call her up, and hear her say my name. We had tough times, she many problems, but deep down she was a wonderful person, and I know she loved me. I miss her. It will be 9 years that she has been gone, June 18th. I think because there were so many gaps in our communicating that it makes it easier with her being gone.
My Grandmother who was like my mother to me, also, came up from San Antonio today. She brought her best friend, Chris, and I learned that they have been friends for 41 years. Chris tickles me so much, and she does her best to take care of my Granny, tho sometimes, she needs it more than my Granny. So, my Granny was here, my cousin Pam, Chris, and the neighbors from across the street. We all hopped in the ‘burbon and headed to Ryans for a buffet. It was crowded, but the company was good. Afterwards, we went to the cemetary to see Trey’s grave. I haven’t been, he’s also been gone 9 years, May 18th. The weather was warm, but the cemetary so was bright from all of the flowers. I finally saw the bench that they put in memory of my mom. It’s hard not knowing what Bobby did with her ashes. There just isn’t a real place where I can go, which in the end probably shouldn’t be so important but it is. After Granny left, the Uncles, kids, and I walked around reading the headstones. There were times were I was in awe of the many years someone had lived, and then the sadness seeing a young child. It made me hug my boys, and just be thankful they are healthy and happy. We came home, and then I napped of course, and then worked on my socks…..
Which is topic 2. Socks have toes and need to have the ends woven in. I can’t wait. It feels like I have been working on them forever! So, pictures tomorrow. Socks, a pair at one time. YAY.
3. Thank you to my wonderful secret pal! Who sent me a yarntainer! I was giving a friend a hard time about her’s, but was secretly envious of it, but couldn’t get myself to buy one. SOOO now I have one, AND I didn’t buy it! She’ll know who she is when she reads this. It won’t be a secret. AND AND AND my SP, KP, sent some bamboo yarn, in fire colors, which I just love. I know this yarn will sit there WAITING for THE project because it is JUST THAT good. It’s one of those. It needs to be used, but it will wait for the project just for it. There is also a felted flower kit, which I’m really looking forward to starting! SOOOO excited about that. Great colors, too. And some really romantic white, gold yarn… YUM! ALSO, as if that wasn’t enough, there was a great card! Thank you, KP. I truly loved everything. The yarntainer is already holding the yarn for my next project that I’ve been wanting to knit with soooo bad.
4. The Funk. It’s bad. It started before today. I had a really flaky week last week. I didn’t want to really go anywhere, but I didn’t want to be at home. I didn’t want company today, which I enjoyed once they got here. I’m not sure what to say about that. It’s just the funk, and each time it starts, I’m scared it’s here for an extended stay.
