Happy Boy

How can a simple ball make you so happy?

Isn't he just precious.

Everyone is sick

I had to pick up MiMi early from school because she was screaming and crying about her ear hurting. Turns out she has an ear infection. While at the doctor's office, they took one look at Jack and said he needed to be tested for the flu, because he had "that look." It was negative, thank goodness, but he still looks like he feels terrible. Anyway when J got home I went to get medicine and spent about an hour alone. My headache finally went away and now I'm off to a hot bath and bed. After I figure out why Jack's nose keeps bleeding. I guess it just never ends.

My beautiful sisters

I know I am biased, but can anyone argue?

My first sweater

I am not one to buy People Magazine but their style edition caught my eye today and I thought, "What the heck." Inside I found a pic of Cameron Diaz, nothing special about it really, but I have been inspired. She has on this simple little sweater/poncho and I am going to attempt to make one. I have made several ponchos and shrugs on my own but this will be my first real attempt at making my own sweater with no pattern. Wish me luck. I'll keep you posted.

Tick Tock Says the Clock( is that right? looks very wrong)

Not that anyone would know, but the time stamp on by posts has been off and driving me crazy. So being the computer savy gal that I am, I have fixed the problem all by myself. Yeah Me! Yes that is correct it is 11:00 what am I thinking? I should go to bed early when the choking bear is out of town. (Sorry honey, I'll make it up to you)

Martha, Martha, Martha

Okay, I consider myself fairly fashion forward. I may not dress the part, but I generally at least know what the hip things are. So, today on Martha Stewart Robert Rodriduez had some of his fall pieces and I just don't get them. Ruffles just aren't my thing. They were all organic fabrics, which the bohemian in me loves, but aside from 1, maybe two outfits, I'll pass.

New topic - school ending at 2:00 is generally inconvenient. Not that I'm super busy, but 2:30 would make a big difference.

Last thing - dogs can be so disgusting. Sampson got out of the kitchen earlier and of course went straight for the litter box and cat food. Cat food, not so bad, but cat poop, bad.
Remember food good-poop bad

Obama - Oh my scarey

Okay let me start by saying I am a hard fast Republican. I love my President, I love my country, and I thank God daily for the protection (of my life and freedoms) that are fought for each day. That being said, I feel there is a lot about our country to be proud of and thankful for. My cousin is teaching in China, where their freedoms are decided on by their government. They are told what to study, what job to have, etc. and these things are what determine their worth. They are overwhelmed by the fact that Jenny likes them for who they are, not their position in society. I am proud that my country fights for everyone to get to believe what they want to believe. I live in a place where I have worth because I am a child of God. My freedom to believe this is one of the reasons this country was founded. Anyway, I really don't know what to say, just something on my mind.

Please pray for my sister and her husband. He leaves for Afghanistan in a couple of weeks and she's nervous, to say the least.
