Maybe it is time for a dog

We have been wanting a dog at our house for a couple of years. We have been talking about it for the last 6 months. We have an opportunity to get a great dog now. I had a list of concerns and they are rapidly becoming non-concerns. This is something that all 4 of us want equally, maybe not equally; the kids really, really, really want a dog. The benefits seem to outweigh the concerns, maybe it is time to do it.

I did a gauge swatch for the first time yesterday, yeah me!!! I really had to do it for my Olive Branch Hoodie and I needed to go down a size in needles.

All my kids will be home tonight, until Zoe goes to Ludington over Labor Day weekend. I am so glad they have friends with places to go up north. I remember wanting to be one of the people to go up north when I was a kid, it was not fun to be the one family who always stayed home. I know the reasons we didn't have a place up north now, but as a kid that didn't matter and still doeesn't to my kids either.

Today is day 3 of a 10 day stretch at work. Gotta love OT and comp, it is also a 12 hour day. I am grateful for the time I spend at home after spending so much time at work.
