Well we got our first real snow here the other day, see previous post. So I bundled the baby up in the 60 dollar jacket, ski pants, hat mittens, and boots and put her in the snow. Can anybody guess what she thought of the snow? She screamed and cried and would not let me put her down. Poor thing. Her sister did the same thing too, but she was like 3 first time she saw snow. Too cute.

Mommmy and Kiki stare down. Gotta love the pink Hello Kitty hairspray. She uses it liberally LOL

We tried to take a pic of the two of us laying on the bed but little miss thing had to jump in. What a ham.

Calorimetry on Kiki

She preferred the bonnet look

I liked it but it seemed to not fit right and kept slipping back I just think I have a misshapen head. I used Lorna's Laces Bullfrogs and Butterflies in the Iris Garden colorway and I loved the colors and the feel but like I said it kept slipping back on me and I keep pulling it down over my ears. The patter in the new Knitty Calorimetry pattern which is pretty cool.

Hubby goofing off he is ready to kill me for posting this pic. LOL

OK I Know it seems I am at again. I promise to blog and then disappear. But this time I have a legitimate excuse. Ok So 2 am Tuesday morning I woke up in horrendous pain. I mean I would rather be giving birth with no drugs then the pain I was in. Had no clue what was wrong. So 8 am kiddie off to school I go to the walk-in clinic as the Dr office is not open until 9. They tell me they cannot treat me until it is approved by the Dr office due to insurance. By the time all this get straightened out it is 9:20 I call Dr they tell me they can't approve it cuz they have an appointment open at 3:15. By this point I am sobbing I am in so much pain my whole left side of my face is swollen and I think I am dying. They really expect me to wait 6 hours to be seen. Are the Fucking Kidding Me. I go to work. I call again about 11:30 . I am sobbing so hard I can barely talk (now I have an incredibly high pain tolerance. I am not a wuss) I ask them if there is anything they can do I cannot wait another 4 hours. At the same time I am trying to take care of the baby. The nurse gets on the phone and tells me my only option is to go to the ER. Now we had a pretty good snow Monday and this is Tuesday there are accidents everywhere. Where I live in Maine is one of the biggest and best hospitals that everyone gets sent to. Great. Go to ER 12:00 Get Triage at 1:00, get put in room 1:30, nurse comes in 2:30 gives me vicodin and tells me Dr will be in soon, 3:00 nurse comes in I am still sobbing gives me 2 mind you 2 Oxycontin. 3:10 I am puking everywhere and still in pain plus sleepy I have been up since 2 am. 3:15 Dr comes in looks in my ear and says Oh My God Look at this you must be in a lot of pain. (DUH!) This is the worst abscess I have ever seen and it is all backed up. Great!! Wants to give me more pain pills. No Thank you Just pop it. 3:30 nurse comes back in and he put some numbing drops in my ear and the irrigates it and the tries to cut it open slightly. I still have blood running out of my ear and it is now Friday. At least the pain is somewhat gone. My face is still swollen. I cannot move my jaw and I have not eaten since Monday. I have been doped up and in lala land the past week and I plan to remain there the weekend too. Happy Healthy Knitting to all!

Snow



















Well finally we are getting some snow. I mean it is January after all. Yup see my new ride. I joined mini-van mama hell. Funny story too I will tell it tomorrow and post some more pics. Side note last night we were all cranky and not feeling too well so while hubby was playing x-box the girls and I went in my room put on barnyard and cuddled on the bed. we all fell asleep and hubby thought it would be cute to take a pic. Thanks so much honey!!!!

As you will see I cut most of me out but you can see my green shirt and I think an ear.

Hello to anyone who actually reads this. Sorry I have been away so long. I have had major issues with my DSL and then my computer got a virus so nothing worked and then you know life happens too. I have the 5 year old and now her activities (dance, girl scouts, etc.) plus the baby is now 14 months old and into everything. Its not like I can lay her down in the middle of the floor and use the computer LOL. She is walking and climbing and very curious to all things. It seems my computer will work all day long just about but then when the kids are actually in bed and I get some time to go on the computer the DSL is down. UGH. Sorry I have been gone so long I will try to be better and blog during the morning nap as that seems to be my best bet anyway.

So what's new. Let see. I just took a class at my local bead shop on beaded Christmas ornaments. I love these will make great gifts come next year and by starting now I might actually have them done by next X-mas. I left my camera at my mothers so you will have to wait until tomorrow to get some pics. I am working on a pair of turquoise and purple Lopi-lite mittens for a friends daughter. The first mitten will not even fit Kiki so I am starting over and remaking the whole thing I did not bother ripping as it is Lopi-lite and it sucks and breaks very easily so ripping is not an option I will just give it to Kiki to play with and start again. I made the very awesome pirate hat from Hello Yarn. Black and blood red. It was for hubby he requested it and it came out so rockin' I cannot even describe it. Guess what? It doesn't even fit the baby. I could not get my hands on the yarn it called for so I subbed and got it way wrong gauge wise. I have plans to make another one but haven't quite started yet. I used the yarn I got from Jenn at http://www.jchandmade.typepad.com/ it was lime and pink striped and matched Kiki's winter coat perfectly for mittens so that is what she got. I love them too. I've made other little things here and there. I cannot quite remember off the top of my head what I have done in like the past year. So if it comes to me and when I get pics tomorrow I will be back and post.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and is having a good new year. It's good to be back lol.
