*It’s a good thing I am a quilter in the time of rotary cutters. I finally started working on Elsa’s doll quilt and had to use my scissors to fussy cut the big dolls. My poor finger feels like it is about to fall off. I am fairly sure I have a mild form of arthritis and that finger did not care for the motion of cutting at all. I had a problem with the finger several years ago when I was pushing the merry-go-round at recess when I worked at an elementary school. I am not looking forward to getting old.<\/p>\n
*I worked my ass off today and my house is in the sorriest shape ever. I took all the boxes of boy clothes out of the storage closest and started sorting through stuff. Huge mess everywhere! I put together a big box for a college friend. She’s sending me a box of girl clothes and I’m sending her a box of boy clothes. Let’s hope the payback is worth the shipping costs. I put together a box of clothes for my nephew today and about fell over dead when the guy told me how much it would be. I just hope the clothes will be put to good use. It’s hard to say with my sister. She gets such weird ideas about how her kids should be dressed. <\/p>\n
*Did I ever tell you about the dress she sent for Elsa? I hate to be ungrateful, but it was a mess. Ink stains, worn lace, just kind of nasty all around. Dry clean only, of course, but it had been washed in the washer and ruined. It was so bad I didn’t even feel like I could donate it. If I was going to dress my daughter up in a super fancy dress, I would make sure it was clean, at least.<\/p>\n
*Erik got a seasonal flu mist and H1N1 shot today. Talk about traumatic! The mist went ok, though he didn’t like it. He started wailing and screeching when he got the shot. Three hours later and he was still sniffling and saying his arm hurt. I felt like a horrible mom, even though I know it is for the best. He wanted me to tell him that he’ll never have to have a shot again, but I couldn’t exactly say that. He has a memory like an elephant so I’m sure when October rolls around he’d try to hold me to that promise. <\/p>\n
*I’m sure there must have been something else that happened today, but I can’t think of anything. My finger hurts too much to keep typing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
