I know I am a slacker

If you read Lola Again then you know that she has a friend opening a Quilt shoppe. Well, she is my friend too, and I also have been drawn in by the many bolts of fabric. I have been working hard at making samples for her shop, and at helping her organize. It has been so fun!! While I have been having all this fun my blog has been totally neglected. I will soon have some fun pictures of all the stuff that i have made for her shop.

This week I have heard some interesting things:

Monkey #3 informed me that I had 2 belly buttons and so did he. In his own words. "Mom yous belly buttons are big, mine are wittle" Go figure, I guess its time monkey 3 won't be seeing his mom without her shirt on anymore.

My little niece Pinkie informed her mom some great stuff. In her own words " Mom, Jenny is the best isn't she" of coarse her mom said yes. Then she made the mistake of asking her dad. His reply was " well, that depends" How rude!! I am after all the best. This little neice also thinks I am a princess super model. Once when she went by Victorias Secret she informed her mom that it was "Jenny's store" because of the super model pictures on the front of the store. I know what you are thinking. That I must run around in my laciness. This is not the case. It is just that I am so beautiful! HA HA!

Twinkle Toes has decided that she knows more about driving than I do. While going up the canyon this weekend, I was trying to put my suburban into 4 wheel drive. She was being a very nice backseat driver and telling me how to do this. She also has decided to be the speed limit police. Not funny. Especially since she is only 11.

Well, thats all for now. Hopefully I will have time to get those pictures of the cutest quilt shop ever up soon.

I know I have Lost my Marbles

Okay so really it was Monkey #1 that fell, and they did glue his wound shut not open.

What can I say
I am delirious these days.

Holy Crap Again!!

Can I just tell you that I have HAD IT!!!!

I cannot take anymore.

This cute boy pictured here with my sister, is the latest victim of the evil fairy that lives here.

On Saturday while in the front yard dancing for money (don't ask) this little monkey #3 fell off of the bed of his dads truck, and yes, cut open his head. So it was off to the hospital again.

He was screaming so much that I guess they decided to glue the gash open instead of giving him stitches.

I am sure the amout of money we have spent this month at the Doctor or hospital would make you sick.

I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!

Did I say that already?

Holy Crap!!!!!!

I really think that the , Could you go to the doctor one more time, fairy has been hovering over my house. I really wish she would leave. I am out of co-pay money. Thank goodness for our Health Insurance. It costs us an arm and a leg, no pun intended, but its a good thing we have had it. First off my monkey #1 had a terrible allergic reaction to some weeds and his eyeball swelled up rediculously huge. Not only was the outside of his eye looking like someone had punched him, but the white of his eye was swollen over the colored part of his eye. I rushed him over to the instacare, which is just a clinic that is open later, and the doctor there just did a lot of freaking me out. He took one look in his eye and said "you need to go to the ER immediately" Then he leaves the room, gets on the phone with an ER doctor and says that he thinks his ey6e might burst. I am in the other room but can hear him and I am thinking HOLY CRAP!! So they gave him a shot of Benedryl and sent me to the ER. They rushed us right back and then ended up just giving me a perscription for eye drops. What a waste of energy.

So that was on a Saturday, we actually went a whole week before my DH, The bearded Lady, came home from his team roping event. He walked in the house very slowly and me, being the nice wife that I am, just began laughing. I know I am insensitive. Turns out he had fallen off of his horse in the midst of throwing the winning catch. I guess he was more like pulled off. I will not try to explain the ins and outs of team roping. Just try to imagine a big Cowboy guy being pulled off his horse, with his rope around a cow, and he was holding on to the rope.

Well , he went to the doctor and has 3 cracked ribs. I did feel a little sorry for him after that, but not too much. He is a man after all. And this is a recreational activity.

Lets see that was on Saturday, So now lets move on to Tuesday night. I know you are thinking this will never end. Sorry!

Tuesday night I was doing my motherly duty of trying to get Monkey #3 to eat his dinner. Of coarse, nothing was working. I had told the kids that if they ate their dinner I would take them to get snowcones. So we were getting ready to leave. Monkey #3 was not taking the bait, and still refused to eat. I'm not sure what happened next but it ended with Monkey #3 on the floor with a barstool on top of him. My barstools are no ordinary stools.

They are made from wrought iron and wood. They are really sturdy, but those monkeys can climb up anything and knock it over I guess. Well, Monkey #3 whom we will now call Tonto the indian brave, ended up scalping himself. No, I am not exaggerating. After another trip to the ER Tonto has more stitches than can be counted. He was literally scalped.

He has stitches under his scalp halfway back on his head and then a lovel row of them across the front. I bet the doctor stitched for at least an hour.

It is now my job to get that fairy out of here. I have had enough of the ER for a lifetime.

In other news, I finished 2 projects today. I am very proud.

This is a cute pillow. I just planned on doing this for myself. But I decided it was too cute for me so I am giving it to someone. (Can't tell who, but her birthday is tomorrow).Have I ever mentioned that I have a passion for pincushions. I love them. They are so fun. I made this one today. It was so easy, I might even make it again sometime. It has a cute little yo-yo on top.While I was hard at work. The dogs were not. This is my little Oscar. He is a Shih tzu. (not sure of the spelling) I love him! He fell asleep in this bag today. It was just so funny. When he was a puppy I used to pack him around in my purse. He must just have remembered all the comfy naps he took in there.And here is Jersey. She was napping, but when she saw the camera she jumped right up to say "cheese".

It's Here

My new sewing machine arrived today. It is great!! Well, so far anyway. I haven't done much with it but open the box, and read the instruction book. I did thread it and try out a few stitches. So far so good. Maybe it will make me a wonder sewer and all my projects will get finished. Even the 4 quilt patterns I bought on a little quilt shop excursion I went on today. I will have to share them soon. They are so cute. Most of them are by Thimbleblossoms. Check them out. I think she has a blog or a website. Cute stuff!
