Today pretty much sucked. I had an employee tell me that I wasn't her boss and she didn't care if she was rude to me.

Over a fucking radio station.

Then MY boss tried to justify the other person speaking to me that way because she's going through a rough time right now.

Utter bullshit.

Lesson learned that maturity is not AT ALL related to a person's real age.

Day 2 of blog posting:
I took the kids to the rainforest today with the APC mamas. Logan had a really good time. Reconfirmed to me though that I really must buy another sort of carrier before summer. Quinn in the hotsling is just killing my back. I realize that they're safe for up to 35 lbs buuuuuuut no one said anything about comfortable!!

My sideways glove project for Brady is coming along nicely. I expect to finish the 1st glove this evening. Well, I'll probably not finish the ribbed cuff tonight but the basic hand shape should be done. That is if Ben and Brady don't talk me into playing Magic, which they might.

Hopefully Quinn will sleep tonight instead of nursing all.fracking.night.long.

It occurs to me that these blog posts would be a lot more interesting if there were pictures included in them all. I will attempt to take a picture tomorrow of something that happened in my day. Tomorrow isn't looking to be all that exciting though. I work all bloody day. Maybe I'll have a finished (or nearly finished) glove picture to share.

I am an unbelievably terrible blogger. I'm going to try harder OK? A blog post every day. Its not like it ought to be hard. I mean, do you realize how much time I spend online? Between Ravelry, APCleveland and FrunchyMama I think I ought to have some time to update this thing here.

So today: The major event was I gave up on Brady's gloves. There is this impossibly wonderful pattern, found here: http://www.knitting-and.com/wiki/News_Item_Men%27s_Gloves_%28Vintage%29
Beautiful gloves knit flat on 2 needles. Awesome!! I made 1 glove a while ago and it didn't fit. It was lovely, eventually I'll make it a mate for myself. Here is a picture:



But, uh, the glove was too small for Brady's large fingers. I guess I should have paid attention to the part that said "To fit an average man's hand" Brady is rather large and not really average...

I'm making these now: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=30174.0

They're not nearly as pretty but they'll be servicable, which I guess is what counts right?

Well there it is, the blog post of the day. I will make one tomorrow. Promise. I'm going to keep up with this darn it!
