When the temps are regularly below freezing at night, the calendar may not technically call it winter, but it sure the heck is! So now the darkness has invaded part of my day. Come on 5:00 pm is not night for me! So that means, for me, it is time to bring the crochet hook out and keep me busy.
Now I am not really a multi-tasker at crafts, probably more a case of ADD. I need to have several projects going at one time. It's probably because the large projects are so daunting, and big time suckers. I actually made 3 afghans for Christmas last year and I have no freaking idea how I did that! That doesn't even include all the little stuff and spinning the yarn for a portion of one of the afghans! I am more the small project kind of girl.
Right now if I am completely honest I have one baby afghan (sorry Brandon, Grammie is a dirt bag), an adult Minion Hat (almost done), a pair of baby legs, a pair of fingerless mitts (yes Reggie they are Minion Mits), the last curtain valance for me living room, (I hopefully will finish this before we sell the house), small Christmas presents, and two sets of dryer balls all going at one time! I put my focus on the one that is screaming the loudest, the smallest travel with me on the road (yup I am fortunate to be able to crochet at 55 mph. Hubby is not a speeder).
Now add in the fact I have to liquidate everything in my house, finish the house projects we have started, and be ready to auction this puppy off around May. Oh, and the fun stuff of looking for a 5th wheel for the spring, and saving up money for the motorhome in the fall!
Oh, Pooh, I forgot to put in that at least once a week, typically twice a week hit the road to find things to maintain my internet income! Then the 3-4 hours 5 days a week I list items for sale on Ebay!
I know I am working harder today than I did as a Commercial Designer!! This is semi-retirement??? No wonder I can't keep on task!!

Wow, time does fly when you are not paying attention!!
Less than a year and we will be out of here! Yehaaaaa!!
But, that just means lots and lots of work and so far we are procrastinating! I am ready to get down and dirty, but I had to come to some compromises that I could live with. So in order to say we will be selling the house in May/June I had to let go of the Motorhome in September! Leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, but I know it is not out of the picture just postponed! I also had to deal with the fact that means up-scaling of the 5th wheel (yah, like that is hard :-), and riding in a pick up) . Once we have all the changes under control, and a firm traveling budget for 6 mths of the year, then we can dump the truck and get the motorhome! But until then the Dogs and I will have to haul our carcass in and out of a truck!!
We actually do have an idea of what we want in a Fifth Wheel, so that helps. We have been in the design that we like, and are happy with the storage and layout. So look for a 36ft Keystone Everest with 4 slides and a den!! Don't forget the washer/dryer and the computer desk!!! LOL Hey it is what I will be calling home for a while! Now we will wait and see what we actually end up with. A girl can dream don't you know!
Everyone is doing well. Little Brandon had a busy week, and I am sure Mom & Dad are ready to crash and relax this weekend! Xavier made it through his first school conference with flying colors! Todd has a long weekend what with Veterans Day on Monday. The family is doing well and that makes life good!
Here are my little boys!

What a lucky Grammie I am to have these boys to Love!!!
Snow was on the rooftops this morning, and the furnace is kicking on. I should go out and clean the yard up, but I am not in the mood. I know I will pay for that. Please remind me not to get that involved in landscaping the lot we will have for the summer. Maybe some rocks, a few containers of flowers and mow the rest!!! LOL I think the best part of the landscape next summer will be a sign by the road that reads "Slow......Grandkid Crossing!!"
