Merry Christmas, Merry Yule...

The holidays have been good here... Hubby wrapped up the presents last night while I finished a tote bag for one of my sil... I also had to find a frame for a pic of hubby and his mom dancing at our wedding that I wanted to give her...

We went to my moms on x-mas eve... We have always done it that way, which is nice cause then the next day we go to hubbys moms and dads... So mom got me another pair of pjs, so I got a flannel pair and fleece set... I got a jacket early so I could wear it when the weather was still good to wear that jacket... She got me a cute santa fairy for the tree, and bro and sil got me some perfume and lotions... I know I am forgetting something but I cant think what... lol...

At hubbys dads I got a set of snack trays, a great wrap blanket, a few jewelry making tools and an assortment of beads, and a ring sizer... I also got a lovely pair of diamond earrings and a fleece pair of pjs from his dad... His sister got us a gc for one of the local restaurants and will watch the kids so hubby and I can have a date night... That will be so nice since I cant think of the last date night we had... Oh and hubbys dad found some old beaded lace from the 1890's that was taken off of a coat... It is so pretty... Not sure what I am going to do with it yet... I took pictures but will post them tomorrow after I upload them...

At hubbys moms I got another pair of flannel pj's with pink and purple stars on them, I love those... And a gc for old navy...

Hubby and I havent done xmas for us yet, that should be this weekend... Money was tight so we decided to do us after and shop for family and the kids...

Well I am going to run... Its almost 2:30... I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday...

Brightest Blessings from my family to yours...

My doctor on maternity leave....

I got a letter in the mail today about how they are welcoming a physicians assistant to the office to help when my doc is on leave and when she comes back... She can do all the things my doc can do, she has been working for another doctor and has a good background... She also happens to be my sil best friend... She seems very smart, I didnt care for her as a teenager, she was a bit snotty... Ive seen her a few times over the past year and she seems ok... Just not sure how I feel about letting her give me my 6month paps... I guess I will give her a chance and see how I feel after that... Who knows she might feel weird and have someone else do it...

And a quick note, I did send out holiday cards just have to check with hubby to see if he actually sent them... It was easier for me to give them to him than for me to have to load two kids in the car to go down to the P.O. during the summer or warmer times its not so bad cause I leave the door open and have full view of the car... But with it being cold I wouldnt want to leave the door open... And before anyone gets huffy about me leaving my kids in the car, I live in a very small town, the post office is so small I am not far from my kids and park in full view of the door... I should get a pic of down town so you could see how small it is... You blink you would miss it... We have a p.o., a health clinic, a furniture restoration place, then cross the street, you have insurance place, town hall, and historic building with library on second floor... We used to have a place to buy groceries and get quick food but it burned down... And no one has rebuilt it...

Oh well, off to bed... Nighty Nite....

Been feeling blah...

I dont know what is up with me lately... I dont know if its the snowy weather that the sun doesnt come thru that is making me feel so down... Or if it is winter blues or what... Yesturday Rhi was getting on my last nerve and I sent hubby a im telling him to come home when he gets out of work, no stopping at the store or anything just come home so I could lock myself in the bedroom for an hour alone... An hour later things were better, we had a nice dinner and by the time hubby got home emma was taking a nap and rhi and I cuddled on the couch for a nap...

I have been tired, havent been sleeping well...

My back has really been bothering me and when i called in for my pain med refill they told me they need to see me... Actually they kind of annoyed me... I told them I hurt my back and would like to see the doc, he had surgery so he wouldnt be able to do any manipulations on me, i said fine i just want to see him, and i needed a refill on y pain meds... Well the NP will probably need to see you since you havent been in in awhile... what were we just talking about... so she tells me someone will call back when its ready and i told them i want to pick it up, ok she says... No call for the rest of the day, no call the next day, I called again and left a message, no one calls me the next day by late afternoon so I call again to then be told again that the doc will want to see me cause this is the last refill he will do till he does, I then told them well i hurt my back and i would like to see him like i told the girl the other day and what happend to my call back? Also they mailed the script in after i told her i would pick it up... I was so annoyed by the time i got off the phone... I got an appointment for Jan 7th, glad I am in pain to wait that long...What is it with pain management doctors...?

I am not ready for the holidays, we still have more shopping to do... and then have to wrap it all...

I wanted to make things for everyone and I am finding it hard to find any inspiration... Plus no time to sit down with beads... I always have one of the girls that need something and when I want to make something I need to have time uninterupted...

I just feel blah...

What will happen

Read this today... This time of year is just getting horrible... Then there are the comments I tried posting and got my words twisted around like I was trying to turn people into wiccans... This time of year used to bring such joy to me... It was never about religion, it was about giving, now its about who is right who is wrong... Who can display this and not that... Its obvious we cant all get along, some will try to but there will always be someone to ruin the progress...

Update as of 9am.

Fever was 100.9 at 8:25, its breaking... She is a lot cooler to the touch and she has been drinking ginger ale and just had a piece of toast. She is talkative and moving around. I gave her an old digital thermometer and she is taking everythings temp... She holds it up to my freckle on my arm presses the button, looks at it says thank you mom and goes on her way... That freaked me out, her being so warm like that... I am going to lay down for a bit if possible... Hugs to all

Sick Baby

Rhianna is still sick and not getting better... What didnt last too long with me is sticking with her... I barely slept last night, every time she moved I woke up ready with her bucket... I rolled over just a little while ago to snuggle with her and noticed how warm she is... I took her temp and its 102.6, I gave her some tylenol but she got sick shortly after and I am not sure if it stayed down... Looks like it was bile that she threw up, would i see the purple stuff in the yellow? I am not sure, so I have a cold wash cloth on her head and keeping an eye on her... Doctor should be in at 8:30, if she gets worse though it will be to the er I go...

Open for Business....

Yup, I finally got something listed in my Etsy shop... I am hoping to get a few more things listed soon but right now Rhi is sick so she takes priority ... There is a link on the side to my shop, take a look see what I am up to and creating... Hugs

fun

Recovering Weekend....

Seems some bug is going around... I and hubby felt it on Friday while we were out... I felt like crap we had a lot to do and didnt get 1/2 of it done... I just couldnt deal with shopping, me not able to shop? The world is going to end, lol... So we got at least the things we needed and one present off the list... I felt like crap the rest of the night... I finally fell asleep only to wake up feeling even crappier... I got up to go to the bathroom and felt sick to my stomach, on my way back into the bedroom thank the goddess the garbage pail was in reach... I got sick, I hate getting sick... I didnt have much in my stomach so it hurt to get sick... I spent the rest of the day in bed, feeling like crap but at least I only got sick once... I slept on and off all day... I woke up today feeling so much better... Now Rhianna has it... I felt so bad... she was good most of the day it was when she woke from her nap she came over into my lap telling me it hurts... i was asking her what hurt when i felt her stomach and knew she was going to get sick, hubby got the small pail and she got sick... She seems to be feeling a bit better, got some ginger ale in her and a little bit of toast... Now I just hope emma doesnt get it...

So this weekend not much has been done due to illness... I started getting my cards together and xmas card list started... If you want to exchange cards drop me an email with your address and I will send ya mine... ldydraven(at)yahoo(dot)com. Well going to run...

Sometimes I just wonder....

Today I got to sleep in a bit and feel a bit better... Still a bit out of it but nothing like yesterday.... Rhianna got sick today, it was the first time I have seen her puke and it didnt bother me like I thought it would... I still cant clean up cat puke but I guess its different when its your kids?

I clean out my desk area and put my laptop in there today... I dont think I have ever put the laptop in the desk area since I got it... Since getting pregnant with Emma I spent a lot of time in the bedroom... It was just more comfortable and after she was born it was easier to stay at that end of the house... I would block off the hall and know that Rhianna was either in her room or in mine.... I've spent almost the past two years in my bedroom... I would stay in bed for hours, could I have been in a funk? I feel a little more human moving around the house, hanging with the kids in the living room.... Its weird...

Tomorrow I need to get to walmart so I can find a new acordian gate, we put the old one up in the kitchen to keep rhianna out of the cabnits and away from the water dispenser... Right now I use a bench to block off the door way and a box... Emma loves to follow her big sister around, its actually cute... She gets so excited, she loves rhi so much... And I love my little babies so much, I still find them amazing everyday... Ive also thought about being a foster parent, havent mentioned that to hubby but I think of all the kids out there that need help... It breaks my heart when I read the news and see what people do to children... I dont understand how someone can hurt a child or kill one... I read that baby grace article on what they did to her and I cant believe someone can be so evil and hurt a child like that... People should have to have a license or take a class or something before becoming parents cause some people should not be aloud to have kids whether they make them or adopt or foster them...

Feeling off...

I got up and felt ehh but nothing too bad... I was reading my book when the words on the page started to get a little off... I looked up and then felt warm and i felt like it my eyesite got bright from the inside out... Does that make sense? Has anyone ever had that happen or something like that... Scared the crap out of me... I stayed seated on the bed but I still didnt feel right so I called my mom... She talked to me for a little while... I asked her to come in when she brought the mail over, this was around 11:30 she was going to get the mail at noon, I think she finally showed up around 3pm... Glad I wasnt passed out on the floor... So I kept the gate up in the hall to keep rhi to her and my room and emma spent a good portion of the day in the play pen but I was terrified if it happened again and I passed out at least they were in safe places... I am feeling a bit better than earlier but still off... Not really sure what it was, if I am not feeling better tomorrow I will call the doc and make an appointment...

I got mad at my mom she let my brother guilt her into giving a bit of money for their dog vet bill... It got hurt and they blame my moms dog... Sorry but that little dog is a prick... He chases all the other dogs and cats... He comes over here yipping at me and rich when we are outside and if that little thing bites my kids, so help them... I am going to tell my brother not to expect anything from my mother, when they got the dog it had kennel cough, and all three of my moms dogs got it and had to go to the vet, now they should have paid for it, nope, nothing... Im glad I dont see them that often cause they piss me the fuck off... In other news sil had that stomach surgery so she can loose weight... Mom says she is still eating like crap and the other day she stuffed herself and puked and she was pretty sure she puked today too... She was not ready for this life change....

Ok going to look on ebay, etsy, and bead stores for something green or red to finish off a Yule strand I did... I need some kind of pendant or larger bead for one side and then I will do dangles off the other end... i think it came out pretty nice, its garnets, dark green seed beads, pearls, and some glass beads from artwearables... Pictures when I finish it.... Hugs to all

Sleep, Wha's that????

It is almost 5am and I am still up... I started to fall asleep then my stomach started to hurt and I felt like crap... So I took a pepto tab and put the heating pad on my stomach for some reason that felt good and got a piece of peppermint gum... Few hours later and a few pages into a book and I am feeling a bit better... Now I just need to get some sleep but I feel a little restless... I went to cnn to see if there was anything I havent read yet that I would want to read... No new emails... My google reader is quiet as well... No one else is up with me writing on their blogs...

Today was a low key day... We didnt do much plus it was cold outside... I danced around with rhi for a bit and even emma held onto the coffee table and shook her tush all on her own, it was funny... She was enjoying mommy and sissy dancing around the house, she was laughing and smiling... She has this new voice, its this evil little rumble she does its so funny... I'm not sure why she does it unless she is just doing it now to make me laugh cause I cant help myself when she does it...

No poop stories, just my daughter likes to be naked... One minute she can be fully dressed next minute she is running down the hall naked and giggling that evil little kid giggle... I am going to duck tape her clothes to her... Little monster... At least I will have good stories to tell the boys she brings home...

Oh well I think I am going to try and go to sleep... We shall see... Hugs..

Happy Thanksgiving

Well here is the pic of emma standing for the first time i got the pic with her in mid plopping down again... She is a monster dont think it will be long before she is walking...

Hubby's dad gets jewelry from estate sales and other places and resells the stuff... When we come over he lets us go thru it, I found a cute dolphin pin in silver that I am making into a pendant for Rhi since she loves her fishes and I normally dont like yellow gold but These rings were just amazing to me, so hubby will be paying them off... The garnet is actually a rare piece I love it... Hope everyone had a good turkey day... I had a nice day being around family...
