Ouch...

So I've been spending most of my free (which in all reality is pretty non exsitant)

so I guess I should say I've been sleeping less to

work on my anthro bedding that I posted about here,

using this tutorial at Kojo Designs.

So yeah... I've been working like a little honey bee on this baby.

It's been going great,

Realtivley easy even.

I was sewing the last peice of the "puzzle" toghether on Sunday night when

S.N.A.P.

 the needle on my machine breaks.

Wierd, but no big deal right.

Just replace it and contuine.

So I get going again and

S.N.A.P.

 but this time the needle piece flew directly into

MY RIGHT EYE

yeah my

EYE

I was freaking out!

It hurt like the dickens

(unmedicated child birth was less painful)

I was picturing a needle stick straight out of my eye,

like you would see in a horror movie!

I made my way to my bedroon where I woke Al from a dead sleep.

I explained it broke and was in my eye and I NEEDED him to

G.E.T. I.T. O.U.T. N.O.W.

we go into the bathroom where he takes a look.

"he says yup there it is"

I lost it at the point full blown tears!

I'm not sure why but it just totally freaked me out to have it confirmed,

 that was in fact a NEEDLE  in my EYE.

I'm a mother I NEED to be able to see!

He took a Q-tip and tweezers and removed the needle from my eye!

Luckily it was just floating around in there,

not stuck on my actually eye ball!

I was so revealed! But it was still so painful!

Today it feels much better and I can see just the same as Sunday morning!

The piece of needle after being removed from my eye!

Thank you Alex for saving the day!

Spring has Sprung

I love days like today.

I went for a run this morning with my dog, while my parents played with the kiddos.

Nathan and I shared an icee while getting my car washed.

We went to the park with friends to play at the spraygrounds.

Took a nap.

And now I'm making a colorful fajita dinner.

With guacamole, salsa, rice and beans.

While Alex wears Sydney in her new native

Watching Nathan drive his John Deere around.

It's a prefect day is sunny San Diego.

So it was a little warm but prefect non the less!

All in all a wonderful day.

I love it.

Locks of love

Yesterday I

Mopped my floors.

Did two loads of laundry.

Had lunch with my mom.

Donated a foot of my hair.

All my life I've had long, thick, curly hair

. By long I mean always a good few inches below my shoulders.

 Let's just admit it up front, I have chubby checks!

Always had those also.

Bummer!

That's why I've never cut my hair short,

 it just makes my face seem 10x chubbier!

When I was pregnant with Nathan my hair grew like wild flowers in an open meadow!

It was outta control from those prenatal vitamins!

And when he was 3 months old I decided to donate my hair to Locks of Love.

It left my hair just past my shoulders,

 the shortest it had ever been.

I cried as I drove home because my face looked so chubby,

but it was done, so why cry?

I did a selfless thing.

 I just kept telling myself that.

And of course my hair grew back.

I even started to like it shorter.

Now after a year on prenatal vitamins again my hair was long.

This long...

So I worked up the courage and donated it again!

It was easier this time, because I know in a few short months it will be longer.

I gave 12 inches, yup a whole ruler! 

 I feel great about it.

 Someone out there will be so happy to get that hair.

And when I straighten my hair,

 I think I really might actually like it!

See Sydney? She slept just like that the whole time!

Teal...

The bedroom redo is underway!

I'm hunting and gathering things for it,

I have a floor plan laid out in my head

But I'll probably play with it some more.

I've decided on grey walls, just have to find the right grey!

Here is my 1st teal bedroom accessory!

I picked this baby up at JoAnns for 80% off in the clearance section.

There were two screws in the back so I though

Just unscrew those puppies pop the flower off

spray paint it, re screw.

Yeah well that baby was SUPER DOPER glued down!

Alex even broke a petal off trying to get it free...

So we ended up just taping it off and spray painting!

Worked fine, just took a little longer!

Oh and I hot glued the petal back on!

She is now waiting for her time to shine in my bedroom!

The bedding is in the works also!

I figure that if I do a few "knots" each night

It should be done by Easter.

Easter is my goal.

I'm considering hosting my families Easter Celebration this year.

It would be my first holiday hosted for them!

I've hosted Christmas the past few years for my in lawed family.

I think if I host it will giving me more incentive on the spruce up!

Who knows though because I already fell like my plate is rather full!
