Its been a long time.

I have no good reason and I am apologizing right now for not keeping up on here better.  I will try to update everyone on what is going on around here and then I will start catching up on everyone else's lives.

 

Not a whole lot going on here.  I guess the biggest news is that Rose had kittens last night.  We didn't get her fixed in time and she went carousing.  As you can see, they are tiny but cute.  The kids are so interested in them, but behaving pretty well and not bothering her.  On the contrary, she seems to be the one who wants to be bothered.  I may see if I can come up with a different setup where she isn't quite so isolated.

Greg left for DC this morning until Wed pm.  So I am a single mom for three days.  I'm gonna get lonely for adults.

Rebekah had her first sleep over this weekend.  She had a blast as they rented a room at one of the hotels so they could use the indoor pool.

Patrick went to the dr a month or so ago.  I was heading back from Wichita when Greg got a call that we had to pick him up at the school.  Well, he headed out, trying to call me the whole time.  He finally got me when he was about half the way home.  It seems there was a little kid in Patrick's class who was crying and Patrick "didn't want to hear".  But if he put his hands over his ears, he couldn't do his work.  So he broke of bits of his eraser and stuck them in his ears.  Well, the nurse couldn't get them out, so we ended up taking him to the dr.  Thanks Doc, for squeezing him in!!!

Little Miss is her usual, headstrong self.  Ornery as all get out. 

I haven't been stitching much.  I did go to my LNS and get some threads and material to try "Christmas Celebrations" by Periwinkle Promises again.  I got some pretty overdyes by Thread Gatherer, Weeks Dye Works and Crescent Colors.  I just need to serge the edges of the material and all will be ready

I'm still working at the medical office bldg/hospital.  It gets me out and for the most part I don't mind it.  Other than I seem to drag home every bug running around this town.  Thankfully I have been spared the flu, but I had the creeping crud and a pretty nasty stomach bug last week.

The weight loss has been going ok. I have lost 32 lbs total so far, but I have hit a plateau at the moment.  I need to up my activity level a bit.

I guess that is the end of the updates so far.  I am going to check up on every one else.  Talk to you all later.!
