The culprit:
The hero: Jenny C!
Thanks Jenny, for being willing to help in my short and small crisis today. I cut my finger washing dishes and luckily had the presence of mind to know that I couldn't fix it alone...it is a big cut and will have a scar soon to show off. I rushed to get a towel, picked up Maiby and the first aid kit and went to my neighbor's. She got me taken care of quickly and hopefully I won't need to change the bandages too often.
So I learned a VERY important lesson yesterday, so important that I feel that anyone reading this could benefit from my new-found wisdom. When you are blowing raspberries on a little kid's belly, make sure you wait until AFTER you change the diaper, because sometimes the diaper is a little wet at the top near the belly and you wind up with pee on your chin. And that is not fun. At all.
Okay, I made it to the computer lab today while Maiby is sleeping and James is at home...AND I remembered the camera. So far things are looking up! I finished a new craft the other day, a magnet board. Thanks, Michelle for the great enrichment. She got hooked up with some FREE metal at an a/c place, so it was a great deal, and I am very excited with how mine turned out. I even made the magnets myself!
I was pleased with it. I will see how it holds up in the next little while to determine if it's a good baby shower gift or not. Maiby and I also made valentines for Daddy and her grandparents. It was pretty fun. She wasn't really sure about the fingerpaint.
And I have been wanting for a long time to show off the excellent valentine crafts that Lacey provided us with. Thanks, Lacey. And she also had some done for St Patrick's day, so keep waiting and when they are up I will hopefully post them sometime.
AND one more final picture. I came downstairs the other day to continue working on a baby shower gift for Kristine, my SIL, but my sewing machine cord had been moved - into the heater!! Oh, the pain of electric heaters. We had to go without heat downstairs for that day and the next until the maintenance man came and was able to get it out, since I couldn't. Here's the melted cord:
I don't know what has started this phenomena, but in the past two weeks I have been missing my rings when I get out of bed. Luckily both rings were in the covers and easily found (the second time really made me nervous because we were out of town at James' grandpa's house). I don't know WHAT it is the I've been dreaming about, but apparently it's something interesting; I wish I knew. As for the title, it's a tribute to Gary Allen (one of my favorite's) and his song about his ex's ring.
