Rainy day

Today is just blah... Its grey outside and I can see the drips from the rain coming off the roof... Havent been doing too much last few days... On saturday hubby , I and the kids went to walmart to get a rug cleaner... Rhi spilt something in her room that made it smell... So we cleaned it and then did the rug... I have wanted a rug cleaner for some time now... Sunday we headed out to the mall, I got my sketchers that I have been looking for and they were on sale... They are a cute dressy sneaker... We also got a new dvd player for the bedroom, the one we had was dying and bestbuy had there floor model up for sale, its an rca, 5 disk player, and its got surround sound, we got it for 89 dollars and a $20 gift card... Not bad I think... We went to target too I wanted to see if I could find this notebook I wanted , its more like a notepad but its a dual notebook... I like them for my design work... I do the drawing on one side and have crystal info on the other... I wanted to get 2 more but of course I find the perfect book and they dont have any in stock... The are made by real simple... Hopefully down the line I can find them somewhere... Looks like target is the only place that carries them though...

Emma had her first shots on monday... Rhi also got her measle shot too... Rhi did very good again, let them take her temp, check her ears, and her nose, I have the doc do it whenever we are there since she has that thing she can look right up there and so far so good nothing but boogies up there lol... Emma is little over 11 lbs and is 24 in long... She did good too, when she got her shots and started crying Rhi started crying again too... But it didnt last long... Rhi got a new little peoples toy for being so good... Doc asked me if I was going to stop loosing weight too... When I became pregnant i was about 196-198 lbs... With morning sickness I went down to 186 and my weight never went above 189 I think... I didnt gain any weight with this pregnancy lol... Well with breastfeeding, eating a bit better and not drinking any sugar drinks, i am still drinking diet soda and crystal light even though the gestationl diabeties is gone, I am down to 152 last time I checked... I have had to go out and buy some new jeans since most of mine dont fit now... I feel good... And everyone says I look good...

Sandy, you and Aidan are in my prayers, keep us posted...

Well I cant think of anything eles even though I know there is more... I am going to go and doodle some goddess designs for hanging up... Hubby and I re-arranged the bedroom on sunday... I got this brillant idea and hubby said sure so after we got back from the mall we did that... I am very happy with the bedroom even though we arent done yet putting everything away... But its getting there... I got tired of cats jumping over my head to get to the window behind the bed... And it clears up the other window so more of a breeze comes in...

Blessings to all.....

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort. You are a grounded person, but you also leave room for imagination and dreams. You feet may be on the ground, but you're head is in the clouds. You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true. Your near future is still unknown, and a little scary. You'll get through wild times - and you'll textually enjoy it. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Lazy Sunday

I am just hanging out with the kids watching tv... We went out yesturday since my weather thing kept telling me about the bad weather coming our way... And sure enough woke up this morning and there was snow on the ground... And looking out the window right now I can see that it is snowing... Its supose to be a mix of rain, snow and ice... Just to be a pain in the ass... Its the middle of April and we are still getting snow... I am so sick of snow... I dont want heat waves but I would like nice comfortabel weather that I can wear nice clothes and shoes and not have to be bundled like an eskimo... I want to be able to take the kids outside and go for walks and not have to slep thru mud.... It was kinda nice yesturday hubby was saying if we dont get the bad weather and its nice out we were going to go to the park... Well its snowing so no park... I know I am whining... Bite me if ya dont like it... lol

So yesturday we did some shopping got some things we needed... We didnt get to all the places I wanted to go too, hubby had an Everquest (crack) event and needed to be home by 6:30... We had a late start since we had to get out taxes finished ... We went to h&r block to make it easier, living in ny and working in pa just so much paper work and confusing too... I had some things I wanted to look for at old navy but by the time we got done with sams club I wasnt in the mood for old navy even though I did have a 10 dollar gift card for being treated like crap... Dont let old navy tell you they dont honor online prices if you go thru the website you will find their policys but even if the sales people and managment tell you they dont honor online or reimburse you for store bought items that when you go home and find out online had it cheaper its bullshit... Which I found out after a two stores gave me a hard time... So if you ever go into and old navy and know its cheaper online have them call the online department or customer service and they will verify the price and honor it... At least that is what customer service told me when I emailed them and then they asked me to call them to discuss my shopping expericence...

Oh well going to run...

Finished

Here is the skirt before and after... I made it from an old pair of jeans... It was fun and I stitched it all by hand... There is fabric in the back too... I started sewing it up yesturday and finished it this evening... I worked on it in between kids and household stuff...

Snowy thursday....

Our weather has been insane here... We have been having really nice weather I even wore open toed shoes yesturday and today it was cold and I woke up to snow on the ground... Insane, mother nature can't make up her mind it seems around here... I want the nice weather back....

Spent a good part of today working on a skirt... I took an old pair of jeans opened up the inner seam and played around with some fabric... I think I have it the way that I want it... I had to head to walmart to get some thread, I matched it to the thread that was used on the jeans all ready... So maybe after Rhianna goes to sleep I can start to stitch it up... I will be doing it by hand since ms. Rhianna messed around with my sewing machine and I cant get the tension right for some reason... I need to get my mom over here to see if she can get it right... I dont mind though, I like to sew by hand... Thats how I used to sew when I was little making barbie clothes...

I also picked up some new frames, I want to start putting family photo's together and start a wall for the family... So I got one collage frame and then I will work frames around that...

My mom had to have work done on the pipes here seems we had a hole in one of them and it was causing us to loose pressure and letting crap into the water... So for two days had brown water... I was so happy to be able to do dishes today, they have been piling up and tomorrow I finally can start doing laundry... I also want to figure out paint for my walls... We have been meaning to paint but since Rhianna "the budding artist" got a hold of a pen and taged the hallway and one kitchen wall we have to repaint now... I would like to do color but I am not sure what color to do... I was thinking of leaving the hall the off white color but the one kitchen wall that needs to be done I was thinking of doing that in a color... just not sure if it would look stupid? Oh well , I will have to think on it...

Hugs to all
