Too much going on at once!!!

Last weekend for Labor Day we drove 7 hours to my parent's house in Illinois on Friday only to return on Monday. Then this past Saturday I had to take my husband to the airport for his work trip to Milan, Italy. This means that my son and I are on our own this week and then next week my husband goes to Pittsburgh for work again. SO since he is gone other things have decided to happen as well. Late Sunday night I noticed the sump pump was not working correctly (to be specific it was boiling the water that it was sitting in). This means it needs to be replaced, not that complicated, but I don't have some stuff so the in-laws are going to come tomorrow to help with that. To add to the mess, my large cat (Victoria) has decided not to eat any more. She gets to go to the vet tomorrow to investigate that and get her yearly shots.

Knitting is going on slowly while everything else is a mess. I started the alligator scarf kit from Morehouse Merino. I love the pattern, but haven't had that much time to knit. The other projects are still slowly moving along and I have the desire to cast-on a large lace project, but I MUST FINISH SOMETHING BEFORE STARTING SOMETHING NEW!! Hopefully I will have some pictures of finished items next time.
