New toy

Hubby got me a new toy this weekend... Nikon D40 slr digital camera... I started taking a few pics today , then took the girls outside today and took more... I have taken 169 pictures so far... LOL... I am loving this camera... I love that it has a quick shutter, my kodak didnt and it drove me nuts... I was always missing the shot... This is just one picture I took today... Now I have to save my money and get the telephoto lens... I think the cheapest I found so far was 249.oo... Yikes... Now I need to print out a few pictures to see how those come out... I am very very happy with this...

More Hats...

Ok finished the other two hats I was working on... Here are some pictures of them...

Date with Hubby

Yup hubby and I had our first date out ALONE yesterday... We haven't been out alone in 7-8 months, since Emma has been born... It was nice ... We dropped both girls off at the sitter... Her girls have been wanting to watch Emma since before she was born... They were very happy, so was my sitter... She loves kids... I feel bad that we wont be able to take Rhianna over till we get another car... I like her to still go there cause it gives her a chance to be with other kids... Rhianna has known them since she was 8wks old... Emma did very well... she only got fussy once... She is doing better with people... Normally if anyone she doesn't know gets around her she screams bloody murder...

So hubby and I went to the movies, I finally got to see the Harry Potter movie... I loved it... Still not sure which is my favorite movie yet... Then we went shopping... Nothing major... Diapers for Emma since they have a huge box at BJ's and we got a few movie packs for Rhianna... We then hit staples to fax something out for work for hubby and I went to the pen isle... lol I was in heaven, don't know why I like pens so much lol... And yes I did find some new ones... I also got a ink pack for my printer... we had just got all the refills from walmart spent over 75 dollars, staples had two of them in a value pack for 39.99, that's a great deal since one of them was the color photo ink... so hubby got me that and paid for my pens and I got a free tote too lol... I picked a pink one... I also ran into one of the guys I used to work with... It was nice to see a familiar face... Hear that some of the other people I used to work with are doing well too... I don't miss the job but I miss the people... Its a shame that twc put 1400 + people out of work... We then headed over to Joann's fabric... I got some scrap book paper in the fairytale that I love so much... I just wish they sold it separately... I then got some more tie dyed fabric... This is in darker colors... I have some hats cut out, now I just have to put them together... I tried to turn the lights off early last night since hubby had to get up real early for his first day back to work... After the craft store we went to get something to eat and then headed to go and pick up the girls... It was a nice afternoon together...

Tomorrow is the family reunion... I am looking forward to that... I need to look around to see if i have anything for the auction to donate... And next week is the surprise party for his sister... Busy next two weekends... Well I am going to run, hugs to all....

Witch Hat

This is a new hat I made by hand... I loved this fabric when I saw it and have held onto it till I found the right project... And a hat it was ... Isnt it cute... I will have to make more in diff colors, I just love it... I want a plain one and a tie dyed one...

This one is funny too

This is just too funny

Finished Tote

Well i didnt even attempt to try and play with the sewing machine... I just did it by hand, plus it was better that way... So I will do the next tote that way too... Just debating if I am going to use the quilted lining or not... Hmmmmmm I will think about it while looking the pattern sewing directions... On the finished tote I did put in pockets so I can put things in it... I have photo's of that and the finished tote... So here they are...

What day is it????

Oh thats right its saturday... where the hell did the week go ? I am so lost on what day it is... I am so out of it... Well hubby did get a better offer with the company they got him more money so he is taking the job... Another thing they are doing too is making it like he never left so he isnt loosing his senority , thats pretty cool... And we will have insurance again at the beginning of next month, that will be nice too...

Last night we all went out to dinner, we dont do that too often go someplace and sit down to eat... We only went to Friendly's but it was sooo good... I was very happy with what i got, i have been wanting steak and shrimp for weeks now and they had it... It was so good... Rhi had fun looking out the window, kids are easy to amuse lol... Then we did some shopping after... I got ink for my printer so i can finally print out some of my pics of the kids... wooo hooo I have a few that i want to do 5x7's i think... I dont think i want to go as big as an 8x10... We were looking at cameras at walmart, they have a nice slr camera that i saw at target the other day, same price too... I really want that camera, nikon 6.1 mp d40... I have been looking at this one and the canon rebel... I have my kodak but i want something I can buy lenses for... I have one that takes film but i want a digital... I take more digital pictures than anything and I like to play with them on my pc and print them out for myself... I took photography in HS but I havent developed film in years and dont remember how to do it for b/w... Not that it was really hard, I think what took the longest was developing the negatives... I spent hours in the dark room in school... Oh well I am going to run... Got some things to check and clean out... Hugs to all

LOL

I really have no patience... I dyed my hair myself... I think I got it all... Find out tomorrow when i have natural light... Its a great red color... I will have to get pictures...

Rain drops

Keep falling on my head, dada dada, lol... I cant remember the words... Its been raining here all day today... The day has been dreary but that's OK as long as it stays cool... This hot humid weather is the pits...

I did a little bit of cleaning today, going thru things etc... I went thru my lingerie cabinet and got rid of some stuff and organized the rest... Cant remember how many loads of laundry I have done... I did call the doc today and found out how long i had to wait for the migraine meds to be out of my system... Its basically 12 hours from the last pill I take, so I could have started bf baby Saturday night... Should have ask this question a long time ago... So tonight baby and I had a bonding moment, at first she didn't want to take it and I got upset... I think it was the whole rejecting thing... But she took it after i got some milk on her lips... Little monster...

It is nice to know though she will take a reg bottle... So hubby and I are going to have a date night... Dinner and a movie... woo hoo finally getting to go see the HP movie :)It will be nice to go out just the two of us... I cant remember the last time we did that, it was over 8 months ago...

I spent a part of today on Etsy, looking at knitted hats and arm warmers... Hubby thinks I am nuts... But why not look now... I would like arm warmers but I want long ones, at least up to my elbows, I found one seller that had something I liked... Hats on the other hand I couldnt find anything i really liked... I saw a couple of cute beanie type hats, a few rasta hats, I just didnt like the colors they had them in... Oh well its only august, I have a while to look around and see if I find anything I like...

I need to get a haircut I am thinking of going to the salon to do it... I want to let my regular hairdresser do my hair... Not that my sil didn't do a good job... Mary is just so awesome with my hair... I also want to get it colored... I am so bored with it... I want to do my red I think... Its a good time to color, my hair is short, it wont take much to color it or grow out when I get bored... Maybe I will have sil come over and dye it... I think I still have some red dye... I'm just in the mood for some fun... lol I need to get one of those wall mount mirrors so I can see the back of my head and then I would be able to dye my hair myself... I have the urge to do it right now, lol I am very impatient... When I get an idea I want to do it now...

Oh well, think i am going to go and surf around etsy... See what goodies I can find... I wish my new beads would get here soon... I wanna play with something new... lol Hugs to all

Monday

Couldnt think of a tittle... Actually its after midnight so its tuesday... I am just bored... Dont feel like reading or working on bead projects... It was hot here today, its humid and i find that worse... I got so hot while doing laundry that i was walking around in yoga pants and my bra...

We did get to see hubbys family yesturday... First we went by his dads, then over to his moms... Hubbys sister is in town with our nephew... He has gotten so big and he is a little parrot speaks better than Rhi does... But he has the green eyed monster in him when it comes to other kids around his mommy... I hope he does better when its his own sibbling... If not she is going to have a little monster on her hands... They are expecting a little girl and are naming her madeline.... I love that name.... His other sister was at work and the kids are visiting relatives out of state... I wanted to get pictures of all the kids together, oh well next time.... Plus there are some things coming up in the near future so we shall see...

His mom and sis loved my mothers necklace so I was happy I will be making them for christmas presents this year then... I just ordered some nice beads from this one store that goddess joy recommended, I cant wait... :)

My mom pissed hubby off this afternoon, she picks up our mail for us if she is at the post office... She was doing this for us when we couldnt get to the p.o. ourselves due to work scheduals... She is still doing it but she cant get out of the car when she brings the mail , she sits in her car and honks the horn... Which is fine but if your not quick enough she will honk again... Today she honked three times in less than 3 min and then sent dustin to the door and he was yelling in the window... This annoyed hubby to no end... It annoys me too when she gets horn happy... I want to just yell at her... Another thing is she is always giving us the wrong mail... At least its normally all family but it gets annoying... Today she gave us one of her letters and she calls while i am in the middle of pumping, she is coughing in my ear and she always has the volume on her phone cranked so its right in my ear... Smoke another one is all i want to say but she will blame it on her allergies...Allergies, smoking , copd, asthma, take your pick... At least she has been getting smarter about doing things in the heat... We had to yell at her she would go out and do yard work in hot, humid weather when they had heat advisorys on the radio... Crazy woman...

Looks like hubby will be looking for a new job, the one they wanted him for with twc is a lateral move... And its just not worth it, you want us to move to a more expensive area and your not going to give him more money? And then when raise time does come up what are you going to give him 30 cents? And he isnt actually working for the company anymore but your not going to give him his severance if he takes the job... What happend to the promises at the interviews on what you could do? All bullshit I guess? What a fucked up company... The technical field is getting worse and worse, they dont want to help people, they want to do everything cheap... Outsource, and then good luck in whatever country you wind up talking too... Us needs to complain big time to comanys to keep it home... We dont want to talk to a call center in india, where everyone is named joe and doesnt know what the fuck he is talking about... He doesnt understand you you dont understand him and you just get more and more aggrivated...

Oh i could go on and on but I think I will go and relax and watch a movie...

Sunday Rambles....

Nothing much going on here today yet... Hubbys sis is coming into town we might go see her today or tomorrow... Not that she lives too far away normally, but 2 hour drive one way is something that we usually plan a weekend for... this way we can spend more time... Her hubby works for a hotel so we get a discount rate when we go out that way which is nice...

Really not a lot going on here yesturday or today... I feel all I do right now is pump to relieve the pressure in my breasts, I didnt realize baby kept them that empty... I guess she did a better job than the pump does getting all the milk out... I think I pumped 4 x yesturday, filling bottles, and my breasts were still heavy... I even took a few benadryl trying to dry them up a bit, Dont think its working... I will call the doc on tuesday if I am still getting so much out of them and they keep filling up the way they do, if anyone knows of a way to dry up milk leave me a comment...

The weather here hasn't been too bad the past few days, yesturday the hi was 81 I think and today right now its 83, not bad if it stays that way... I am just not liking the heat, makes me feel crappy...

Woke up this morning to find Rhianna sleeping in her wagon with her dollies, i missed though her cuddled with them under the blankets... She tucked them in... I went in at one point and rubbed her head, she woke up looked at me i asked her about her babies she put her arm around them and then rubbed their heads... I told her she was a good mommy, she smiled and went back to sleep... She is so cute...

Emma is doing really well on the bottle, we went to a diff bottle and she latches on real good and just sucks them down... So the worry about her and a bottle is not there anymore... I was worried I was going to have a hard time like I did with Rhi... Rhi it took me a few days to break her of the breast... Maybe it was easier since Em was bf for so long... Not sure...

Oh well I should run, got some things to organize outside and then we are going to see family today...

Hugs to all...

Kill me...

Thats how I felt earlier today... I woke up with a migraine, it wasnt too bad so i took my normal stuff and went back to sleep... Well it got 10 x worse... I tried calling my doctor, she must be taking long weekends or something because again i was refered to the er... I cant afford the er right now we dont have insurance... So hubby said well emma will be getting bottle fed now so go take your meds for migraines... I told him he was going to have to work with her because she wont take a bottle from me... He said fine... So I took my meds and tried to go back to sleep... I did get back to sleep for a bit but kept waking up and my head was still bothering me... I was sick to my stomach earlier but didnt get sick, i just stayed very still so not to make myself quezzy... I woke up before my next dose of meds and I was sick to my stomach I gave into it and got sick... My stomach was hurting so bad, and it made my head worse to get sick... I waited for it to calm down and then took my next dose and went back to sleep... This time when i woke up I felt a better... Not 100 % but better... This is when i become a baby, I cant take the pain and I just want to crawl into a hole and die... Another thing i have been emotional because i wasnt working on taking baby off the breast so it was all of a sudden and i miss the little nipple muncher, lol... I have also been pumping and dumping cause i have been so full and it hurts... I want to check with the doc how long this stuff stays in the system and if i can bf in a few days or not , otherwise i need to find a way to dry up my milk... I guess I did good 7 months... Longer than what I did for Rhi but i went back to work with her and it was hard to keep up the bf... Oh well guess i should go relax... hugs to all
