Where or Where Did My Knitting Go? Oh Where O'Where Could It Be?

I haven't touched my knitting in a solid month. It is missing me desperately, and vice-versa. The funny or bizarre side of this is that I am still reading knitting blogs, looking for patterns and watching Knitty Gritty on HGTV. What is wrong with me. Just pick up the needles and knit. The good Lord knows that I need the stress balancer that comes from knitting. For some reason, I just can't make myself do it!

For those of you that aren't aware of the latest drama, I'm going to talk about something on the blog today that I need to get out of my system. Some of you may know that my hubby, Anthony, found his birth mother and sister on August 5th. This has been a blessing and a curse. I think for them and us. It isn't like the movies or soap operas. There isn't a last scene that ties up all the loose ends in the last 5 minutes of the movie.

It just doesn't work that way.

There are deep emotional scars on both sides. There is a need to be accepted on both sides and there is a need for approval. Hours and hours of phone calls, tears, laughs and email picture exchanging has taken place. It has been a huge emotional experience.

I think we are getting to know them, but where do they fit into our lives? Where do we fit into theirs? It is almost too much in a short time for everyone involved.
Anthony has done well at times and then not so well at others. He and his birth mother were seperated around age 4. Then he was adopted around 5ish.

We hope to spend time with them in the future and I think the Sister and I could really be dangerous together. She is a democrat and has an adventerous spirit like me. So keep all of us in your thougts as we navigate this uncharted territory.
