Oh, sorry, forgetting my manners. Hope all has been well, haven't felt like blogging much lately. We're trying to finish up the school year, loads of teacher gifts in the works - had to be put on hold for a bit while sewing machine is at the shop this week (made funny noise and skipped stitches, so grateful that it was just a minor adjustment and the nice guy at the shop is not charging me anything for it - I was horrified to hear that the regular service without any repairs runs at about $90!!!). I'll get to pick my baby up tomorrow afternoon just in time to hit the ground running.
I spent Memorial Day weekend at home sewing 25 costumes for Little One's school play (luckily they only needed costume pieces sewn, but 25 spiders makes for a whole lot of legs to cut and sew!!!) Thanks to sewing machine and lots of coffee it was accomplished well in advance. Offspring were off with grandparents camping (they "roughed" it in a comfy cabin at the campground) and hubby was at work. So me by my lonesome, some great tunes on my Ipod, the snoozing hounds and snoring kitties and let's not forget the never-ending RAIN... RAIN... oh did I mention the RAIN!!! I am so sick of this RAIN! We had a beautiful day yesterday for once, but of course I was tied up with some goings-on at church until the late afternoon and was too tuckered out after to be out and enjoy it. Today when there is extra time it RAINS!!! No fair! as Little One would say.
Sorry, sidetracked yet again... back to subject. Kids are trying to fit all sorts of class parties etc into these last few days; new schools for both next year (High School for Dude and different Elementary School for Little One). For me, a bummer to start off the summer season; have a layoff coming this month and side gig was also cut... hopefully will be able to find something after the summer - fingers crossed and prayer candles burning...
But on to fun stuff: pictures.
Pictures of spider legs and "helpful" cat - WildMan is battling the MonsterSpider, dragged a few of them around the house when I wasn't looking and all around felt very proud of himself. Feloneous Feline (man I hope I spelled that right).
Here's the general madness during Little One's school play.
Quick Mom Rant of the Day: Folks, do me a favor and SIT THE HELL DOWN!!! Sorry for the uppercase shouting, but it has to be said... see the general suckiness of the photo??? Know why??? Because of the Ubermoms clogging up the isles in the auditorium continously taking pictures through the whole play while we mere mortals can't even get 2-3 decent photos of offspring for bragging rights and scrapbooks!!! Here's how it should be: right before your precious child is on stage you get into position taking care not to block out the sun for the rest of us, take your pictures and return to your seat. Don't park your rear permanently in the middle of everything living out your papparazzi dream... just sayin'. And please, if other parents ask you to please not block the view for everyone - how about giving it a try??? Be considerate, please.
Oh, same goes for church too. It's very hard to be reverend and prayerful when you can neither see nor hear due to cameras clicking and general madness of people trying to get the best shot.
Get it? Got it? Good!
Alright, soap box is being put away again. Whew!
Here's Little One on her big day at church:
No new projects to show off right now, a few things in the works, will hopefully be ready within the week.
Have a blessed Sunday.
