A case of the monday ickys

Well today has not gone as I had intended. I wanted to finish my 4 Patches and get those and Noah's Halloween costume out in the mail but am just not feeling up to it. Yesterday Mom and dad stopped by to bring back my car and there were some baby things that Mom made that she wanted to be sure that Keith got to see before he leaves in November. So they were here for a little visit and we celebrated Dad's birthday with a chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream cake from coldstone.

I was up early this morning to bake some cinnamon rolls for breakfast for the 4 of us. Mom helped me put together a pot roast in the crockpot as Keith was getting ready to leave for work. Sortly after Mom and Dad cleaned up and packed to head back to Colorado. The pregnancy ickies have kicked in so I am just feeling horrible. I have been told that when you are sick during pregnancy that means that you are going to have a healthy baby. I sure hope that is the case because I have felt so yucky.

But on a better note I have found a fellow blogger that for many more reasons can be an inspiration and sure left a bright spot in my day. I started out looking for quick and easy quilts for many reasons but mostly because I want to be able to sew something ANYTHING and at the same time I want to have something to show for it. I wanted to have quilts and things done for the arrival of our new baby and figured if it wasn't simple and fast it wasn't going to happen.

Michele Bilyeu of With Heart and Hands is fantastic! If you have a chance to look at her blog she has done alot of charity work, art quilts and has even done some fabric dying. She has tons of links for free quilt patterns and a very motivational statement about how she copes with her mothers Alzhiemers. If you are a supporter of Project Linus she has some great ideas. 

What has this world come to??

Last night I talked to my younger brother and found out that some very mean and nasty person decided to steal his snoopy christmas lawn ornament new years night. He said that he and his wife went to bed about 11pm or so and when they got up in the morning it was gone.




People at work today seem to think it was a drunkin New Years prank and they may be right but why ruin some one elses new years by making them feel uncomfortable. I don't know if you have ever had your car or house broken into but I have and it leaves a very uneasy feeling. A feeling like its going to happen again and for me it was the feeling that some one is out there watching me get into my truck in the dark in the morning.

So last night I searched on ebay and managed to find another Snoopy (Red Baron) like the one that he had and bid on it. Was lucky enough to win it and Keith and I will be giving it to my brother for his birthday. Yes his birthday is in march but when you find a deal off season that is some times the best time to buy.

Today has proven to be the typical monday where everything that could go wrong has. I hope that, that streak is over for the morning since things have finally settled down.
