...and then you blink

days are long when you are waiting for a vacation

This week has absolutely drained me...AND IT'S JUST WEDNESDAY! I have had two fights break out among my students (one Monday, one Tuesday), an away ballgame - an hour and a half away...on a bus, and a vast outbreak of cheating today. I'd swear it was a full moon. And - to top it off I was spammed like 30 times from some site today, which made me remember that I hadn't updated my MT Blacklist since, um, never. I hate spammers.

I started a little ribbed scarf for The Boy Monday night - the first time I've tried ribbing. Ha! I had the general idea, knit knit, purl purl, etc., and I knew I had to make sure the yarn was in the back for the knits, and in the front for the purls. What I didn't consider was that you couldn't just move it back and forth under the stitches I had already made. I kid you not, I know I frogged the beginnings of that scarf and re-cast on at least 10 times. Each time it just looked like a blob of thread. I was determined to get it right - so I went back to the ribbing section of SNB and read it super close - and realized I should have been moving the thread from the front to the back over the top of my stitches, between the needle points! DUH! Talk about an aha! moment. I've never felt so stupid. It actually looks like it is ribbed now, but I'm just to pooped to knit anymore this week. I have to get quality tv time in, after all. Is it just me or is Smallville slightly odd with the addition of Lois?
