Thank you to the Fairy Godmother who gifted me today with two crystals, a tube of Burt's Bees Lip Balm (yeah it's that addictive), and a cute card. Thank you so much. On the home front no news. Thanks to everyone for well wishes and prayers they are appreciated.

Net is being screwy tonight

Can't get to crochetville or even ezboard for that matter... sucks too. been gone all day mostly. Won't blog about David's Drs appointment until he's had a chance to talk to his kids. He has to go for more tests tomorrow. Don't really know anything right now. Prayers would be appreciated. Helplessness is a horrible feeling.

Wake up Wednesday

The boy has been up since 4 am.... Wouldn't be so bad except David emailed me from work yesterday to make him a Dr appt. (you know he's hurting if he gives in and wants to go to Dr) so we were actually not gong to have to get up at 4. He (the boy) stayed in his bed till after 5 so I got up with him. Hopefully David got some extra sleep but I doubt it. I had bad dreams all night and am having one of those mornings that feels like the world is gonna cave in around me. Not making for a good day. I finished my hatswap hat last night. Also almost done with Super Secret Project. As soon as I get more yarn I will finish K's hat and send everything of hers off to Rae. Also have P's Atlanta Falcon's hat to make (looks like I better get it done as they have a good chance of going to the Super bowl). That leaves: Stuff that I can't post/talk about cuz it's gifts for Christmas and birthdays and the recipients (sp?) read this blog. Don't worry, I have a thread CaL and others things I will post about the I make in between gifts so you'll still have things to look at! On another front: Feb 20th is Daytona 500.... The start of NASCARs season. Mark Martin's final season as a Nextell Cup driver. :( I sure hope he has his best season ever. Means I have to do alot of looking and watching and studying to find me another driver. I've followed his career before he was in big time racing. Gonna be hard to pick a new driver to follow. Probably either Carl Edwards or Jamie McMurray cuz they are local boys (Missouri)but I don't know yet. Oh well I guess, onward the day!

Fairy godmother Goodness again! WOOHOO Thanks to Sutty for gifting me with some yummy yummy yarn and a beautiful wind chime! Thanks so much Sutty. You're such a sweetheart!

T- T- Tuesday

*yawns* Oh man I am one big pain. (David would probably agree although not the kind of pain I'm talking about but one in the butt lmao) We put a muscle rub type stuff on it last night and I had a reaction to it... so now along with the muscle pain (which went away for awhile but is back) I have to deal with a "sunburn" type pain. grrrr boy this week gets better all the time. lmao Yeah... I'm a big ole baby ya'll. Certain pain I can handle, actually can enjoy, but pain from injury or such I am a big ole wuss. ONTO other things...... ummmm *thinks* oh yeah CROCHET! That's why I started this blog. I'm working on... this super top secret project ya know, and I am trying a new thing out to see if it'll work ok for what I am doing. So far it's turning out cool and I think will work great and the person who will recieve it in the end (ooo that sounded like a baaaad porn movie) will like it. When it's all said and done and over I'll be able to expose myself it. Every time I tried to crochet yesterday when not sitting in front of the computer I either had the boy or the cat jumping in my lap. Hopefully I can get some done today as I need to get the finishing touches on my Hatswap hat. Speaking of swaps... (STILL talking crochet don't get excited) I want so much to join the Shawl/poncho swap at Crochetville... I'm just worried I wouldn't get it made in time...... ok well I hope I can do my Chico Metrics workout today, we'll see if my back lets up any.

ROFL!!! Bullriding? hehe

You Should Try Bull Riding

Congrats, you've got the moxie to tame a 2000 lb bull At least, here's hoping so!

What Extreme Sport Should You Try?

OMG THAT'S COLD!

Yahoo! News - Minnesota Town Hits 54 Below Zero "Thermometers registered a low of 54 degrees below zero at Embarrass, Minn." 54 BELOW ZERO????? OMG

Man that hurts Monday!

This mornin started innocent enough. Except I was cold and stiff. The boy got up before 5 cuz Daddy was going to work. Well the ok day ended up going way wrong early cuz I managed to hurt my upper back. Why oh why can't do these boneheaded things when David is home? I think it's not as bad as it was cuz I'm sitting here typing without crying. I'm leaning up against the heating pad though. I should know beter then to go off moeving things when I am stiff. Hope the boy is good today, if not he may find himself in his room with the gate across his door. lol Blows this day all to hell though. Edited to add that I have lost 7 pounds total so far

Quizzy Goodness

and

Sleepy Sunday

I'll make no bones about it, I'm sleepy. Tired off my butt. Feel like I have not slept at all this weekend. Also feeling very pmsy, tired cranky short tempered etc The boy for the past two days instead of sleeping late on weekends like he usually does has gotten up at 5 both days. So I have had no cuddle time this weekend at all. :( No Cuddle Makes Mommy Grumpy I have that feeling you get right before you are gonna get a cold. I know... I 'm sitting here bitching with my fingers.... Sorry! Onto something else: I was ROAK'd by a Fairy Godmother yesterday. Part of it I was expecting as she was getting something I had been wanting but was having a hard time finding that she could get easily. But the rest was a surprise and I love love loved it all! So Thanks Natalie! You're a doll... although I'm already addicted to Burt's Bees products! I loved the lotions and the lip balm and the facial scrub (it was awesome) I totally loved the badger balm sample you send too! So thank you so much Natalie! Onto crochet I hope to finish my Hatswap hat today. then have to get P's hat worked up as it looks like Atlanta has a good dran chance to go to the Superbowl. It was a shame they beat St Louis but The Rams didn't do much in their defence. How bout the Steelers/Jets game? Good game. Glad the Steelers won even if I hate their coach. Well better get to moving, I guess. grrrr want to go back to bed though.

Should still be sleepin Saturday

Yeah, me and the boy have been up for a bit. He woke up I got up to let Daddy sleep since he doesn't get to do that much. Course since this house is old and one of those open houses where you have to walk through all the rooms to get to anywhere you need to go he doesn't get much sleep. But we try, which means I speed all my time whispering "Sean, hush" "Sean don't stomp" "Sean don't run through the house daddy's trying to sleep" "Sean don't yell" He tries his hardest to wake Daddy up, he's not doing it to be mean he justs loves Daddy and wants him up. Ummm am halfway done with the hatswap hat.... I guess.... It didn't turn out like it did in my mind lol But it's not bad just not what I originally set out to make. Ever do that? Start crocheting with the intent to make something a certain way and it go completely different but not in a bad way? Sometimes I like to just pick up hook and yarn and crochet without a plan or pattern and just see what comes off the hook. I don't know if any of you are aware of this but the FDA had an advisory panel meeting yesterday to see if Mevacor (one of those lowering cholesterol drugs like Lipitor ) should be sold OTC( over the counter). I fail to see where ANYONE would think that could be a good idea? Those types of drugs can cause some serious problems if not taken properly (or if the wrong person takes it). That's why you have to go to a DR to get it. Granted I'm not a big fan of Drs but hey... Heart Problems and High cholesterol problems go hand in hand, if you have high cholesterol you should be getting your ass to a Dr REGULARLY for the bloodwork that needs to be done. Drugs that require doctors to monitor (ie: Bloodtests to determine cholesterol levels, Thyroid hormones that require bloodtests etc) should NEVER be OTC that's just silly. Needless to say the FDA says they didn't think that Mevacor should be available OTC. (DUH!) I'm not a big fan of the FDA but I think they made the right call on this. Today we're going on a road trip so to speak. Hubby wants to take me to Dealey Plaza . (We watched a big thing on JFK the other night and us being history buffs... Well you know) OH! And also the place he works for is down the road from where Bonnie and Clyde went to school. And where Clyde's Father lived. (I may be mistaken on that and when he gets up if I am he'll surely correct it) There's history all around you folks... Sometime you should try to look some up. You obviously have a internet... Which is a vast wonderful resource for finding out things like what happened in your town. So do a google. See what comes up. You might learn something.

"Cycle brokened Mom, I fixit" (See hurt hand bandaged up) Thankfully his day is going better and he seems to be feeling good. I just wish I could talk him into taking a nap! LOL

LOST!

Lost: 4 (FOUR) Pounds. Owner does not miss nor want pounds returned! If found you may keep or pass on to someone else.

Frazzled Friday

Coffee in hand I set out this morning on the computer adventure that is my morning routine. The house is silent as the boy is still asleep as it should be; He had such a rough day yesterday. The Sperm Doner called him as it was Sperm Doners bday. So he wants to talk to the boy. My trying to be nice get the boy up from where he was supposed to be trying to go to sleep for a nap to talk to him. Well since he hardly ever calls (Sperm Doner) The boy thought he was talking to David's son Paul Taco (long story and not even sure if I know why he calls him that but he's the only guy he talks to on the phone other than David) so he was all excited and chatting him up big time then all the sudden the phone started making the sound it does when it's off the hook to long. They had hung up on him I guess. I know the boy didn't push any buttons cuz I watch him like a hawk when he has the phone. The boy was heartbroken.... he cried and cried. Bad enough he thought his beloved Paul Taco hung up on him but here I had to explain no, it wasn't Paul it was his father!!!! I realize it could just be that they were done talking and needed to go and he didn't give the phone back to me so they hung up but they could have called back to explain that... right? I'm not the only one who thinks that was a low down scuzzy assed thing to do to a 2 year old am I? So I get him calmed down over that and he's playing and hurts himself on the hand... well no nap bad day already it just killed him... he stayed upset till Daddy came home and cheered him up. Then we went to the store did our groc. shopping, got dinner to bring home and came home and ate. Well... we'd gotten him some army men (every boy needs army men!) so Daddy got them all out and ready and he played and played and had a ball but it was bedtime so I got him ready for bed and off he went. About 15 - 20 minutes later he's vomitting like crazy. Sooooo got him all cleaned up, bed cleaned up etc.... Him calmed down us calmed down him back in bed and us in bed. He's not gotten sick again so I'm thinking too much getting upset yesterday but who knows. I pray he's not come down with something. Long bad day for him yesterday. Feel so bad for him when things happen I cannot control. But I have to say I am so thankful David loves the boy like his own. It's pretty obvious that the sperm doner won't be much of a father figure in his life. At least he has Daddy. When I got up bloglines said there were 30 blogs with new stuff on them! wow I did alot of reading! Crochet? well yesterday was rough but I did get some done on my hatswap hat. I hope it turns out ok. I am soooo looking forward to this weekend. David and the boy have both had such a rough week. Some down family time will be good for us all. Hope the market does better today, we've taken some pretty bad hits over the past couple weeks. Yesterday the dow closed down over 110 points... not good.
