Probed By Aliens.....

That's where I've been...I was abducted and probed by aliens.

So...if anyone was wondering.....

In other news....a small deer mouse seems to have taken up residence, in the antique dollhouse I snagged at the indoor flea market. You know how they say "if you have a mouse..you have MICE"? well...there seems to be only one....a female....who has collected a crate of bird's eggs.....and seems very intent on sweeping the kitchen floor and good housekeeping.

It's fun to watch her, even tho I was not finished refinishing the house yet.

Dwarf Hammies Kick Ass

I know...cause I've had a bunch of em in my lifetime.....

A Laundress

That's what I am. A prof laundress. How can 3 people generate so much dirty clothing?

My kid's in a really bad mood again today. I can't wait for this blasted day to come to an end. Isn't that sad? when you can't wait for a day in your life to be over with?

I hate when I'm cooking and cleaning all day.....and then come evening I want to craft....and I'm too fucken tired.

Whatta gloomy day.

Jeez.....Novy dear I think you should not list me under "Laughs".....cause lately nobody's gettin any laughs coming here! :D

Need an OFF Switch on my BRAIN!!

MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP!!!

African Pygmy Mouse

Hospital stay concluded......rough time while there but everything hunky dory now.

I am SO dead tired today.

I don't understand why I can get news of something that makes me happy and excited.....then the next day hear something that brings me down? I shouldn't care.....really I shouldn't ....least not so damn much.

I feel like just looking at cute things. Working on some new pom pom bodied mice. Need a different type of pom pom maker....mine sucks....it's the whole circle kind.....I want the two halves that snap together.....so I can go fast. Pom pom fashioning is a very relaxing and theraputic work. The mice will have wool pom bodies and wool felt heads with Sculpey feet. These are very small "half inch" size. I can display with my "half inch = 1 foot" miniatures. I'm tired of how much space the "one inch" minis take up.....save for a few antique pieces I'll continue to display....I might like this scale for fun...more challenge.....need to make most of the things myself. Don't really like ready made on the market for this scale.....plus they are as expensive as hell!

I'd super love me some African Pygmy mice.

Hospital Stay Day!!!

She has a slight cold but if they'll take her...out comes the steel plate.

One night overnight. UGH. I hope it's not as awful as last time. Hospital stays have certainly not changed much at all over the years. Nurses are overworked...space is limited...."nighties" are always way too big.

9:30AM in.....plate comes out at 11:00AM. I hope she is relaxed and sleepy at night. Wish I had a laptop to bring. I plan on bringing my pom pom maker and some books. Crayons/coloring books/hairbrush, etc. for her if she's up to it. I have no idea what to expect. This is less complicated and invasive than last year but will it be any easier???? I just hope she doesn't try all night to take the IV out.

I just gave her a bath...she has to have another one in the morning with some kind of antibacterial stuff. They require a bath the night before and the morning of. They have everyone use this stuff now because of all the infections in hospitals lately. Scarey. God only knows what's in it...."don't wash head/hair/genitals" with it....."discard ANY leftover"......must be some strong pesticide or something! :O It's very difficult to use on someone who won't hold still.....last year we brought a plastic lawn chair in....put it in the tub....tied her to it......and did it that way.....so the stuff wouldn't get anywhere it wasn't supposed to. We used the hand held shower spray...all went well till she had a seizure just as we were finishing up. I think it was cause we had to give her the morning bath SO early...like 5AM.....at least this time we don't have to do it so early.

Next up .....dentist.....and 1 day hospital visit to have him do cleaning/Xrays/fillings/etc. Then I hope we get a long stretch where she doesn't have to go thru any of this stuff for some time.

Nuttins easy!! cross your fingers and toes for us! ;)

Heavily Overwhelmed

Now my mother calls me because she cannot swallow her antibiotic prescription pills! JEBUS!!

Senior parents are a challenge.

I make tons of suggestions: cut the pills in half, crush the pills, coat them in yogurt, throw your head back, etc....etc...none are satisfactory it seems.

Good Lord.....sometimes I feel quite overwhelmed. I throw my hands up "I don't know!! I don't know what else to say/suggest!!" I find myself doing this alot lately.

Wicked Tired

The dh woke me at 3AM....coughing and snorting.....he's getting munchkin's cold. I suppose I'll be next. I'll get my period AND a cold for our overnight at the hospital. A long night of fighting her to keep her from pulling the IV out.

We went this morning 8:30 pre-op physical....came home she was feeling great.....I sit her up for lunch....BOOM! she has a gran mal. Got her on the kitchen floor....pillows.....my parents came over. They just missed it....she was asleep on the kitch floor when they came in. It would have been the first time they'd seen her have one. I know it must be upsetting to them but I think they handled it pretty good. There's no need to get upset, it is just part of life. Our life...her life....lots of people's lives. She just takes a nap and then is fine. She woke up while they were here.....had some Jello.....she looks a little tired but ok.

Bathed the pigs yesterday. They still appear to have dandruff??? dry skin from the heat no doubt. They need lots of brushing to help the shedding along. They smell like baby shampoo. I washed their beds also. Clean pigs with clean beds. Clean pigs.

What is his problem??

Dh is being an extra special pain in my butt...even more than normal.

It's not good timing either.....with munchkin and I going for an overnight hospital stay.

I think I will tell him I am not going to talk to him for the next few days.....a spousal vacation.

It's that stupid gig he has coming up.....he's all stressed about learning songs and shit.....I'm sorry but there are more important things in this life!
