Invasion

Well its that time of year again. When the harvest moon hangs heavy in the sky and the warm days of summer give way to the crisp nips of fall. Its about this time you can count on Daleks descending from planet Skaro hell bent on the destruction of the
human race and all life in general. Its is import to appreciate family and friends more than ever. Remember that while you are trampling them to save your own ass from extermination.

This is the kind of post my husband puts on facebook....he's quite a handsome man when he is not being fried by a Dalek.

Slap My Hand

I have been neglecting my blog. It was in my head that when school started I was going to be soooo productive. So far not so much. My husband said that I have crappy time management skills. After cooling down and looking at the comment more objectively, maybe he's right. I made a schedule for myself, and will try to stick to it. Anyhoo, hopefully if I manage my time better that will also translate to being better about blogging as well.
On another note, I found this coat on sale at Anthropologie a couple of years ago, waited too long and the coat in my size was gone. A few days ago I found it again on Ebay and dangit the bidding went over what I was willing to pay. I've decided I'm going to try to modify a pattern I already have to make one that is similar. If it works out I will post some pictures.



Somehow I misplaced the photo of the coat on the mannequin where it shows off the lovely waist...oh well.

School Day

My one and only sweet little boy is off to his first day of kindergarten.
I admit it, I cried.
I'm sure he will love it, he was soooo excited.

So Glad To Be Home!

The past 2 days are a bit of a blur. My husband has been feeling a bit ill for the past week and a half or so. We thought he had a really mild flu. Sunday night he was feeling a bit worse, but we had hopes that he would feel better by Monday morning. He woke me up at 12:30 still feeling horrible and I made him some tea and got him the heating pad. At 5:00 am he woke me up to let me know he was in so much pain he was ready to go to the ER.
Turns out he had an appendicitis...my poor honey. Monday was all about getting into a room at the hospital, waiting for the OR and the Surgeon, having the offending organ taken out, and recovering from the general anesthesia. Apparently when he was in the recovery room waking up from the general anesthesia he was hallucinating that my friend Beth and I were standing over him. I was just smirking at him, but Beth was harassing him by saying things like "wake up knucklehead". I'm not sure to what extent he responded to her but the nurse that brought him back was chuckling at him.
Today was all about pain killers, eating solid foods and waiting to be discharged.
I have to say that the staff at Skagit Valley Hospital were all very very nice and took great care of my honey.
I'm glad we caught it when we did, it could have been way more serious.
We are very tired and glad to be home.
