A Long Over Due Blog Post

I write so much about Eric, that some people might not realize that John and I have a very talented daughter also. I am so very lucky to have such a wonderful daughter like Teri in my life. So I would like to share with you the write up I am sending to our local paper.

John and Sheri Karobonik are pleased to announce that their daughter, Teri Jane Karobonik, has graduated from Santa Clara University School of Law in California. Prior to Law school Teri graduated from Catalina Foothills High School in 2005 with Honors and received her bachelors degree from the University of Arizona in 2009 with Honors. She was also inducted into Phi Beta Kappa at the University of Arizona.

 

While in law school Teri served as a Lead Production Editor on the Computer and High Technology Law Journal which is the #5 Science, Technology, & Computing Law Publication and #6 Intellectual Property Journal in the country. She also participated in Honors External Moot Court as well as serving as the co-president for Santa Clara's ACLU chapter.

And Life Goes On

Well I took Eric to the doctors today and no surprise here, he has pneumonia again. The down side he is not feeling well and wants to be with his friends. The up side is that he has won me. I will also get a lot of knitting done. Last night I finished 1/2 of a poncho and started on the second half. I also put another color and style of poncho on a a pair of circulars I am on 5 or 6 rows into the first side of that one.

Teri has one final down and 3 more to go. She has also won a Cali for her Mass.Comm. class. We are very proud of her and are so lucky to be part of her life. Keep up the good work Teri. Eric also enjoyed listening to Teri's call today, but wanted to make sure she knew that because he was sick he owned me. 

I suspect that it will be another lay low week end but I have yarn and fluff so I am good to go. If I don't get to blog before then. Happy Mothers day to all you moms and single dads who have the children full time, this is your day too.

Here is hoping for at least 5 hours of sleep tonight.

A Busy Weekend

It has been a very busy weekend around here. On Saturday Eric was under the weather so it was UFO day and I did manage to finish 2, and there are more where they came from. They will have to wait though because I got a repeat order for 3 more knitted caps. The first cap is halfway through and I still have 12 days to get them finished.

Today was laundry and a trip to the hardware store. I decided to put off more deep cleaning until they pick up the recycle bin tomorrow, after all you can only put so much stuff in before they say it is too full and they refuse to take it. We talked to Teri today and she got an award for having the highest grade in one of her classes. I did forget the name of the award but it is really something and I call the bragging rights even though I did none of the work.

It is now very early on Monday morning and I am really hoping that Eric is asleep. His room has been quiet for 20 minutes. He has been very fussy for the last 2 1/2 hours and I was ready to go to sleep hours ago.

Well here is to a few hours of sleep and a very peaceful week. Enjoy your families.

Addemium- I did not get Eric to sleep until 3:30 this morning. Ugh I can't believe that I am awake.
