Clogging Duet for Ananzi!

Ananzi (my 6 year old daughter), wanted to learn to clog and I told her that when we had the extra money per month that I would get her in class. I was able to do that at the beginning of this season in September and she has caught on so quickly! I've also been able to take the classes with her for no charge because the teacher doesn't have an adult class going and I've always wanted to learn. Plus it helps Ananzi because I can practice with her at home. Her teacher keeps telling me how much of a natural she is and that she will for sure be promoted up to the next class for next year. So yesterday we went to class and her teacher tells me that she wants to have Ananzi and her son do a duet together for a competition over in Pocatello in April and they would be the only ones from their class going to it! Susan (teacher) gave me the DVD with the dance instructions on them and we're going to start learning it today. I am so so so very proud of my Ananzi!

I got an A!

The title says it all. I got the results of my Communications test and it was an A! I'm so excited. I've had tests in 3 of my classes (the only 3 that have tests) and I've been able to get an A on all of them. I really like how this semester is going. It's late and past my bedtime but I had to share!

So I didn't get here yesterday

I know I said I was going to do another post but life all of the sudden took over. I don't even have time right now to do a long post because Jake is going to be getting home in about 30 mins and then I have to head off to school. I have Geology and Communications today. We're going to get our test scores back in my Comm class and I'm really looking forward to that because I feel really good about how I did on the test. We got our Geology test results on Monday and I got a 93.3%! Not bad for only looking over the notes the night before.

I was going to do some reading before going to school today but Ananzi has been having pain in her ears so I took her to the Dr. Everything was clear, so no ear infection. I started feeling around in the back of her mouth and felt that one of her 6 year molars are trying to come in on the same side she's been having pain so I think that's what has been causing it. I'm going to get some pain reliever today after school is done so she can have some if it continues to bug her.

Yesterday I was able to take the kids to IHOP for National Pancake Day and they all got free pancakes. I can't believe how much those kids can eat! Ananzi ate 3, as did Kayin (she's only 3!) and Eli ate 2. These weren't tiny little pancakes either. They were pretty good sized. My sister Michelle came with us and it was a lot of fun.

As far as the part of the name that says "stitching," it refers to knitting and I promise to get to that. I'm working on finding a new camera so I can start posting pictures of my projects.

Ok, gotta go eat lunch before I head out!

My first post on my new blog!

I've been reading the blogs of other knitters and have had so much fun reading about their projects and their lives that I've decided to start writing in my own. I am currently a full time mom/wife, full time student and unfortunately part time knitter because of school. I want to do a full post introducing myself fully and giving you an idea of who I am but the olympics are on and I can't focus like I want to. See you tomorrow!
