My Babys First Art From School

Today my son brought home his first art project from school! I was so excited I almost did a little happy dance, lol. Check it out! :


Isn't it cute?! I'm so excited!HOORAH for teachers that make kids do art for their parents, lmao!

Yarn Porn!!!

Boy, oh boy, do I have some eyecandy for YOU! It's yummy, has a great price, feels LOVELY, and is hand painted beautifully. What more could you ask for?! What? You don't believe me? Well here just see for yourself...I'll bet you'll be begging me for the suppliers website to order by the time you quit drooling in your own lap ;)

I can tell, you're excited! Don't worry I was too! Now wipe the drool, you're embarrassing yourself :) Since you all know that I love you...and because I love this yarn seller...the owner even offered me advice over the phone on how many stitches and what needles she uses to get the yarn to stripe fairly well. They are super polite, super helpful. They also wrote me a follow up email to ask if I got the yarn and how I like it. If that's not caring service I don't know what is. Heck, she even sent one hank while she was on VACATION!

Without further a-do...she SOOOOOO deserves my plug for her store! I will be ordering from her many more times!

I now leave you with yet another SUPER cute pic of Panda:

Have a great night guys and happy knitting!!!!

What went wrong today? Let me just share...

So today has been one of the worst days EVER. Everything that COULD go wrong did and I just wish I had stayed in bed today with the covers over my head and slept it all away!

-My son had to go to the Dr. today...diagnosed with Ear Infection and Anemia

-Dr said my son needed bloodwork (enough said right?) so I took him and it was awful with the lady losing his vein and having to wiggle the needle around to get it in again each time he moved.

-My blood sugar was high all day today.

-My insulin pump BROKE today...yup, that nifty thingy that costs 9000.00

-My pump is NOT under warantee anymore I found out.

-My insurance will fight paying for a replacement I was also told...and it may take months to get a new one.

-Andrew just started throwing up...and has thrown up 4 times in the last hour. :(

Only silver lining? The guys are going to fight HARD for me to get my new pump and I trust that they will get me one and they are sending me a loaner pump tomorrow asap so I don't die. I'm hoping that my insurance covers a new one because if not I have to pay a 250.00 restocking fee at the end of the 3 months I get the replacement pump for. If I get a replacement pump with the company then I don't have to pay the fee at all so that would be great.

Ok, so who was the pain in the ta ta's who wished ALL this bad luck on me today?!

New Member Of The Family

On Thursday we aquired a new member of our family:

Meet Panda. Isn't he CUTE?! I bought him for my son but somewhere inside I think I also bought him for me, lol. I haven't had a hamster for a few years now because I was really sad when my last one died. I bought that one the same way....said it was for Andrew but he was less than 1 year old at the time, lol.

I need to get in bed now. Took forever to get my computer to upload these pics so it's WAY past my bedtime! I leave you with another pic of Panda :)

My Pumpkin!!

Here it is:




The first pumpkin that I've ever really carved. Did I do good? Thanks to the 3.44 kit at WalMart it looks ok. WOOHOO!
