Krafty Kitten

I finished my first Granny Square yesterday and I’m working on another one.  I’m probably going to do sets in different colors and sell them for a dollar a piece at the Harvet Market. I used fuzzy yarn for one and bordered a pattern with it.  It was interesting to say the least because it was hard to see through the fuzz.  So, after I bordered the square with the fuzz, I followed up by adding another couple rows of yarn.

We’ve stepped up attempts at potty training, complete with “underpants” that have trucks on them.  We give him animal crackers for going pee on the potty and once he poops, he gets a Hot Wheels car.  I plopped him down on the chair this morning and he went…  Unfortunately for us, Little Guy has inheirited some of the more difficult aspects of our personalities.  He’s stubborn and is going to do what he wants to do, which, right now, does NOT include potty training.

I watched the “big announcement” episode of Jon and Kate plus 8.  Unsurprisingly, they’ve decided to seperate and have filed for divorce.  It’s sad to see because so much could have gone differently had the communication been present.  And watching this episode, it isn’t just one person’s fault.  Kate is still pushing and determined to do things her way.  Jon doesn’t want to hear it, doesn’t want to talk to her, doesn’t want to listen to what she’s saying.

My heart breaks for the kids in all this because both parents are claiming they want what’s best for the kids while making it painfully clear that they aren’t willing to do what it really takes.  Maybe I am jaded from my experiences with “blended families”, but I would imagine the “peaceful” existance Kate is touting for the cameras is only going to last as far as it takes Jon to want to be in his kids’ lives.
