Time

Summer around here is now over.  Homeschool starts today.  Caleb and I are both dragging a bit this morning at the early wake up, but it's time to get back to learning.  This is his senior year of high school and I have no idea how this happened.  It seems like only yesterday that I was walking him to kindergarten and he talked to me the whole way.  Walking to and from school was always an easy way to find out what was going on in Caleb's head.  Now here he is, taller than I am, his voice is lower than Mickael's and he doesn't need help crossing the street anymore!

In a totally non-related knitting way, the Space Mermaid has left the black hole of No Visible Progress and is now getting nice and large.  I'm enjoying knitting this, but I'm to the point now that I'm ready for it to be over.  It's now too wide to be spread out over the needles, and I honestly hadn't realized exactly how large it is until I spread it out for the picture this morning.  It's just been clumped in my lap and not opened all the way up.  I'm going to keep going until I run out of one of the yarns.  I think it will be the Planet 9 (the dark blue) first.  I'm going to try to get this wrapped up soon, but because it requires some concentration, it will be worked on in the evenings.  Fortunately, I have two stockinette stitch sweaters I can knit on during the school day.  (Yes, I get to bring knitting to school!)
