This picture makes me smile.
I don't have many good pix of Rue...she hates having her picture taken.
She looks really happy here and luckily I was able to capture her without her knowing it!
I played with the image a bit with Picnik.
My picture taking is no match for all you REAL photographers who read my blog...Graham Crackers, Whatever, Brown Eyed Fox...just to name a few!
Will you teach me ;)
***
I had high hopes of getting a ton done Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.
I'm scheduled to work tonight, Thurs, Fri and Saturday.
I've had the flu since Monday night and could really use some healing thoughts my way.
Mr. Motrin and Dayquil will have to be my best friends today...along with a little cat nap cuddle with Miss Stella.

I'm so sorry you haven't seen anything new yet in my shop.
I'm trying like crazy to keep up with orders and need to make them my first priority...even though my ideas are just itching to become a reality!!
I love that people like my goodies...feels like a big warm hug I tell you!

Wishing you a great day!

I've had...

my head in one of these since yesterday afternoon.

Daddy got it the night before and lucky me got it mid-day yesterday.

I picked Zoe up from school and we headed to Wally world.

I started feeling icky the minute we pulled into the lot (nothing unusual there...I hate Wally!)

I think after breathing the nasty odors that permeate throughout that place is what did me in.

We quickly checked out and made it to the car just in time.

Luckily I keep a supply of plastic bags in my console :)

It all went downhill from there...

I'm feeling a bit better this morning but nowhere near where I need to be to be Supermom.

Do you like our Swarovski toilet bowl ;)

xo

Think...

Stand By Me.

Pie eating contest.

What follows after the pie eating contest?

Yep, the barf-O-rama.

Know what we've been up to our eyeballs in?

Yep, barf.

Our plans for a burger and movie went out the window at about 3pm yesterday afternoon.

Ruby started her fun filled evening with el'yucko.

Then Zoe.

Then Stella.

My house smells like gaggggggg.

I've got enough laundry to kill our water supply.

Who's next?

My money's on moi but could be the Daddy.

To keep my sanity somewhat in tact I made a little/big something for our family room.

I just love it!

My favorite part is the little doggie :)

****

I'm almost caught up with all the Cora orders...I can't even believe how many I've sold...I'm so excited!

****

I'll be working on some new things for my shop today so keep your eyes out!

WHAT is wrong with me?

I've had this nasty cough for going on two weeks now. I had told Craig that if it weren't better by this Monday I'd call about it...He complained that my coughing was interfering with him watching the tube. Don't think he's a jerk...he's not, it WAS/IS annoying! Well last night I had a fever and went to bed at 8:30 with the kiddos. I actually had a pretty good nights sleep! I thought for sure that was all I needed. I sucked it up and went to the Dr. this morning and found out that I have pneumonia. Are you kidding me? She wanted to do chest X-rays (which I nixed since the last time I had an MRI it was like $1200 :O). She prescribed an antibiotic and some inhaler thing (I didn't fill the script for the inhaler...not necessary).

So, I get home and just to attest to my craziness....

Instead of doing this...

I did this...

and some laundry (which there is no WAY I'm going to show you). I just can't relax if things aren't a certain way. Toys have to be picked up. Dishes done. Laundry in the works. Floors vacuumed. Please tell me I'm not the only one!

I've got to get better fast...I've got no energy and lovely orders to fill. It's so hard doing anything when you feel like your coughing up a lung and your go get-em attitude is hidden behind a Puff's Plus tissue. Ewww.

Hopefully I'll be posting some treats from the shop later...we'll see. SLOW DOWN, RELAX and TAKE IT EASY are not in my vocabulary.
xo

I'm sick...

and going to the Dr. in the morning.

While doing a little surfing at some of my favorite online shops I found this and I REALLY love it! If you like it too you can find it here. They have THE best stuff!

Hopefully I'll be up to doing a real post tomorrow.

sniff, cough, a---chooo...

Yucky.

I've felt like el-crappo for the past couple of days. I've been coughing so much I can feel my abs getting a quality workout (so there IS a plus side). However coughing while experiencing a migraine is a cruel punishment I doubt anyone deserves (ok...maybe Osama Bin Laden).

I feel like this week has been a fuzzy haze with very little productivity. Monday was good. Got a bunch made for the shop but after that round of goodies it all went downhill. I did get around to making two yoga sweatshirts for my sister Mel to take to India...they came out very cute if I do say so myself. (I can't post them because I do want them to be a surprise for her). I will however make adaptations of them tomorrow and post them here and in the shop so keep your eyes open!

Random things that bug the crapola out of me:

• Spare change randomly placed willy nilly.
• Leaving the house before the beds are made.
• Anyone other than myself doing the dishes in my kitchen.
• Clutter.
• As a lover of giving feedback on etsy it truly bums me out when not receiving the same courtesy...it takes just one second and it does matter.
• Dog hair.
• Dried dog slobber found in gosh, you name it!
• Dried toothpaste in the sink bowl.
• The total mess that is my craft/dining room.
• Raking leaves for two hours and not making a dent.
• Dishonesty.
• When a really good TV series ends.
• Not knowing what to make for dinner and when asking for suggestions the answer is always, 'it's up to you'.
• Not finishing a project.
• Seeing Halloween decorations still up. (Not my house y'all!)

Ok. Time's up for me...I'm off to do the dishes. My dishes. In my kitchen.

today's cuties...

not too much time today with the girls having only a half day and a school picnic at 5... but i was able to whip these cuties up in between wiping noses and packing a dinner.

z ran the mile at school today and according to my friend deb who happened to see her while running, said she was doing it with a smile...phew!

s still has a runny, runny nose but her spirits are back to silly.

i'm waiting patiently for my second batch of labels to arrive...i can't believe i've gone through 90 already!!! i'm also waiting for some yummy scraps from lassiegirl...soon i hope!

okay, off to get everyone ready...we have to leave in 45 minutes!
