I remember sleep...

vaguely...

When the kiddo doesn't sleep, neither does the mom!! She did sleep better last night, so I got more sleep than I have lately.

I finished up Zoe's Spot RR last night-- I did most of this at the hospital! Zoe stitched the top row and the deer, I did the four spots!

Nebs and inhalers, oh my!

Well, if I liked doctors, I wouldn't by now. We just got back from another wonderful afternoon spent in the Emergency Department due to Tory's asthma. She has been coughing horrifically for over a week, and this morning she started coughing up blood-laced mucus. So off to the ER we trekked, and got there around noon. At 4:30 pm we were finally finished, after x-rays and many tests--her asthma has kicked into high gear, but no pneumonia or any infection. I'd have been surprised if there were since last Monday her Dr put her on zithromax and prednisone. We have a script for some heavy duty cough syrup and a direction to find a pediatric pulmonary specialist.

So the only stitching I did this weekend was in the ER LOL. I crocheted 2 rows on my gramma's blanket, plus did 2 full spots on the Spot Sampler RR I got in the mail yesterday. That's about it *blah*! LOL

Peace

This'n That

Not much new today--I shipped out my Spot RR, finished an ornie for Cathy's JN RR, and I've nearly got the green wrap done on Autumn Faery Spirit. I'll finish that up tonight and rotate away from it :( It's such a gorgeous piece!

Tory is back in school, and catching up again. I dropped all sorts of stuff at the nurses office--inhaler, nebulizer stuff, aerochamber, instructions etc. We have a great nurse!!

Well here's my Spot RR. I didn't do much but the border, which is from Indigo Rose's Catherine Agnes. I'll fill the specialty stuff in when I get it back! The purple varigated is SNC Wild Violets,the green overdye is Dinky Dyes silk Rainforest. It's 4-sided, but I couldn't get a great picture of the whole thing, at least not that you could *see* it. I greatly enlarged the border as charted, since it was just 100x100.

Brrrrrr

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their supportive comments! It really helped a lot :) We have met with the principal/teacher/counselor multiple times each year. They are all pretty clear on the understanding of what we will and won't tolerate, to the point we've even brought up the bully law in NH. We could file charges, if this gets out of hand again. We've also had DD in therapy for a while--she's 6-9 months younger than her entire 4th grade class, but she's also far advanced academically. She just has issues with the social aspects, thus the therapy.

In other news, I do believe winter has finally arrived with a vengence. I hate cold. I hate ice, snow, icy wind and the grayishness of the sky. Yeah I know, I moved here because I fell in love with a man, not the weather that's for sure. I could happily hibernate, every year. Unfortunately lol I can't do that if my family is to eat!

I got some more done on the border of my Spot RR sampler that is due to go out Monday. I may not have the spots I wanted to throw in there done, but I'm confidant the border will be done! Now I have to start planning my Mirabilia RR--what type of look do I want... it's something I need to ponder :) I missed the first Ornament SAL this month of Jan due to being busy. I'll try to do two in Feb!

On the Girl Scout cookie front, DD sold 355 boxes! She's 145 boxes shy of her goal of 500, but she'll get a few more credits with the booth sales. Of those 355, she alone sold 101 boxes to send to the US Troops!! I'm so proud of her!! Also, it's not too late--if you want to order cookies or donate to the troops, we can still take 'catch up' orders, with money due in early March :)

Peace...
